hi mom

 yes i have true to the faith it is a huge help. this week a had a bad cold, well still have it but its getting better. we didnt have water for 3 days again, that was pretty annoying. i glad that our family is safe in texas, that storm was supposed to hit us 2 weeks ago and we got  calls  that told us to have a supply of food and water in case we cant leave. but luckily it skipped us.

 kind of a boring week, just our visits as normal. we did a fundraiser to help a couple  earn the money they need to get married. they sold 190 hamburgers. luckily lots of people helped out in the ward and we mainly just delivered them, which was also a lot of work. but tomorrow we go with the couple to the city hall to take out some of their papers.

today we played soccer with the zone. i had some trouble with my mission card and couldnt take out any money, but i think i just had the pin switched up and will try again tomorrow. this week we have interviews and zone conference. well see what happens there,supposedly for this month we have a goal of 4 to 5 baptisms for each companionship. with our people right now, if everything works out, we should be able to make it. well see.

 anyways  its a pretty tiring area with lots of hills that we climb all day and i m always pretty tired at the end of the day. but things are going good.

love you mom!

hey dad, good week, normal week. long hot days as always. im always sweating so much here haha. usually my garments i have to let dry out before i put them in my laundry basket from all the sweat. youre probably right about the book, dont worry about sending it. ill just keep studying the materials i have. but i officially have less than a year left now even though i havent hit the official 1 year mark. its been a long time and still so long to go, but it does go fast. we have to do a lot of contacting to reach the goal of 15 to 20 news each week. ive met some intresting people. yesterday we met a lady who has a lot of mormon family but she has a lot of doubts about the temple and about things she just doesnt understand. i felt impressed to just bear testimony of the book of mormon and of joseph smith. who knows if she litened to what i said, but maybe one day she will remember. it was kind of a cool experience. the family, well we just contacted them to leave a prayer and a blessing with them and its actually an older couple who live there and she was just visiting. i might go back again with the couple, they were super nice and seemed very interested in my testimony.

 anyways things are going pretty good here otherwise. i miss you guys and hope all is well. i love you!
