well, Chihuahua has always been a drug trafficking state in Mexico, and even moreso by the border. So ther are lots of gangs and stuff. The good thing is that theyre religious and only get into fights with other gangs, so we arent in any danger at all. Ive had several offer me protection (they come up, give me a boondogle and say something like ¨Pedro offers you his protection¨ and whatnot)
I haven´t seen much lately, just ¨Cholos¨, or local thugs throwing rocks at eachother. It´s kind of funny, they don´t use weapons because it gets out of hand real quick and attracts a lot of attention, so they throw rocks. But we just stay away from the worst areas.
I hope you enjoy the Christmas parties, it sounds like you´ve all been having a blast! I can´t believe that Grandpa is already turning 80! When is his birthday?
The Christmas devotional was excellent, full of beautiful songs and talks. I absolutely love the Christmas season! It´s getting cold down here and we´re hoping it snows soon! My companion is suffering a lot though, it´s his first winter! He´s from a very calm climate and isn´t yet used to the cold. In the evenings we´re hitting 30 degrees which for him is utterly unheard of. Fortunately we´re well prepared with lots of coats and blankets.
Make sure to send lots of pictures from the party!
I Love You!
Elder Phillips
