I am doing good :) Everything is awesome and Mexico is also hahahaha. My area is Tecnologico or something like that and my companions name is Elder Gutierrez. He doesnt speak any English hahahaha A little about my area. There are dogs and chickens everywhere!!! there are so many strays just walking, pooping, and sleeping around the town!!! But the weather is awesome, it is way hot and I am sunburned on my arms, ears, face, and neck. This missionary tan line is going to be awesome... hahahaha The houses are so close together and its crazy where they all are too because you go into and alley and it turns out to be an alley of houses. The people here are awesome and way nice. They all stare at me when I walk by and laugh at me when I don´t understand them or when I try to say something in Spanish. hahahaha it is so funny! Everyone we teach and talk to is nice and we havent really been REJECTED just rejected hahahaha. The only people that are bad are the Jehovah´s Witnessess and all they do is bible bash. We were knocking doors on my first day and we went to one and he didnt not stop talking and I didnt understand one word of it hahahahaha. And apparently there are a lot of them around and they are all annoying like that and just dont try to listen.
The house i live in is nice, we share it with one other companionship and they are alright. One of them is kinda annoying and doesnt know what the word personal means but other than that he is alright. When i was unloading my suticase i found out I have enought pills to last me around 10 years!!! hahahahahaha there are sooo many bottles of pills! It is really funny though.
DRIVING HERE IS INSANE!!!! we thought it was bad in New York, nope that is just crowded, I think these people when they drive are actually insane!!! but it is kinda fun hahahaha. Also dont put anything to do with the Virgin Mary on packages or anything like that, they know the packages are for Mormons and they think it is disrespectful and are more likely to do something to it with the stickers on then off. Also apparently it is a rule that we arent supposed to e-mail chat hahaha oops... so no more of that.
I am just going to have everyone e-mail me and i will write them and it will be a faster process...
Kim is probably the only one that is going to do that though because i havent gotten any other letters from anyone else. So confirm to her that she can e-mail me but i will write her back so the rules are not broken. Tell her she wont get my first letter for about 3-4 weeks but then they should start coming faster. Tell her that i wrote her one today and sent it. Also please dont read her e-mails either hahahaha Tell her hi for me :)
The address to send things to though is:
Calle Vía 2 #104 deptos. 302 y 303
Col. Tabasco 2000 C.P 86035
Villahermosa, Tabasco
My week has gone good, i dont understand anything in the lessons but they seem to be going good hahahahaha I will have more info about it when i can understand the language and i have no idea when that will be.... But we had two people come to church with us this Sunday so I understand that that is a good step hahahaha. We have had lunch at a members house everyday and they all have been awesome! It is usually just tortillas, some kind of meat, some sauces, and a drink that has some kind of fruit blended in with it. On friday we had Watermelon Water, it was really good. They also dont believe in eating Dinner apparently or something because we eat breakfast around 7:30, lunch at 2:00, and then dont get dinner so i just end up having cereal again. We walk a lot and thats fine, we have taught lots of lessons and i would tell you how they went but i honestly dont have a clue how they responded to the questions. I usually just explain who we are and then when they answer me back i look to my companion and he takes it from there and everyonce in a while has me explain what something is. So the language is way hard but i know that i can do it and that it will come if i keep trying.
Just wondering but do you have any good scriptures for me? they can be about anything i am not looking for something specific.
Alright i have two requests and i will seperate them in things i need and things i would like hahahaha. here is the lists. Oh and no more fresh food because it will go to waste.

Cereal (frosted flakes, Pops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or anything else), Fruit Snacks of any kind, Peanut Butter :), Ritz crackers, Reeses, Kleenexes, Rice Krispy treats, Sunflower seeds, Chips, Gatorade/Powerade/Kool-aid mixes for waterbottles, Chips Ahoy, Gum (i can chew it in the house), Peanut Butter crackers Grandma Dixie sent me, Granola Bars ( chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip), Good´n Plentys, Twinkies/Ding-Dongs, protein Shakes (the kind grandma Joan had, The Breakfast ones)
You dont have to send me any of the wants but they are just there for ideas.

To Grama Joan & Papa Doc:
Mexico is awesome and the weather is also awesome. It is way hot and i am sunburned on my arms, ears, and face. The house i am staying in is really nice, and there are four of us in there. My companion is awesome, he doesnt speak any English so that is another reason why i need to learn. The language is crazy!!! i dont understand any of it usually (about 95%) and the five percent is greetings and gospel words. The food isnt that bad, it is just Tortillas, meat, hot sauce, a drink, and thats about it. And all of it that i have had have been really good so far.
Glad you are all doing good. I know!!!! i am kinda sad that i am missing this year of BYU basketball!!!! but its alright because another year after i get back we will do just as good... or thats what i keep telling myself!
Love you guys and
Love Elder Evans
LETTER TO ROGER
Hey dad :) i will just send you a short letter to just you. hahahahah
well Mexico is awesome, warm, and friendly. They all stare at me and then laugh at me when i cant understand them or try to talk hahahaha it is so funny!!! I got to play soccer today. It was fun, we played 4 on 4 and it was four Mexicans against four Americans and i was the only one that knew how to play on my team... But it was still fun, as soccer always is to me :)
I cant believe BYU!!!!!!!!!! That is sooo awesome, i wish i could see it!!! But i hope they keep playing good! Glad Man U is back on track, finally hahaha after what 3-4 games?
Sounds like Alta is going to surprise everyone! I didn´t think Brighton was going to have that great of a team this year, and Davis is only good because of who they play and the one kid that scores a lot of goals on crappy teams. hahahahaha oh well we will see!!!
Love you and Love,Buddy
