May of 2012, Elder Prince in Itzimna, Mexico

           First Day in Merida, Mexico 
                              The end of Feb. 2012                                   
                                                      
       Elder Prince with President and Sister Salinas
 
   Robert didn't mention, but I believe this is out side
of his apartment.

        Elder Prince is looking like a local with his tan.  haha
            In his letters he said he was having a hard time teaching
                    English classes, it takes him a few minutes to think in English
            then another minute or so, to speak English.  They were
           teasing him, asking him if he was really an American...
                He said he thinks in English at times...His letters to us are
          English mingled with Spanish.  He is doing very well
            picking up the language.  I love the fact, that only after
               5 months, he can read, write and speak Spanish fluently.
                                         
I was told they got this couch 6 weeks ago. yeah,
a little comfort. 

Streets of Mexico










Did I tell you Robert sleeps in a hammock, if fact his
whole mission does.  This photo was taken when Elder
Prince went to Cancun for the Conference to hear
Elder Anderson address them, all the missionaries from
that mission came and they had to double up in small apartments.
Robert said there were 8 missionaries sleeping in a
very small apartment. Luckily it was only for the weekend.
They have the sleeping arrangements down...haha

Traveling to Cancun.  This is the Elder Vinay, Robert's
trainer, he is from Tabassco, Mexico and doesn't
speak much English.
