Elder Mitchel Hawley : A Week in My Beloved Matamoros 3/19/18

SO this week started off really great! Jaja and also finished great! We get to travel a lot around the mission. I got to go and work in an area called Bagdad! (Bagdad, Tamaulipas, Mexico is a town on the south bank of the mouth of the Río Grande. This town is also known as the Port of Bagdad or the Port of Matamoros, since it is inside the municipality of Matamoros, Tamaulipas.) It was super fun! We found too really cool families this week! We were walking down the street and it started to rain and this car pulls over and we got asked where we were going! It was two families of single moms and they told us that they didn’t know why they gave us rides, they just felt like they should! They are super great! They really want to change their lives and their families are so cool too! Truly not that much happend more than that! Other than we ate at a really good place that had hamburgers called Drum Roll....Super Burger jaja. It is super awesome there. We also met a cool family from Texas in the burger place so we gave them direction to the missionaries there!

Yeah it was so hot today. We played soccer and I got roooasted!!! I’m so super sunburned from this week and today’s soccer game. Jaja but it’s okay, it will go to tan. I’m going to buy a hat though this week so I don’t die!

I think we are going to the US in a little while so we will be eating something delicious haha. We can get to the US in like 20 minutes and then depending how long the line is to cross.
