I am in the same state as before just a different area, Olivos. (He got transfered!!!) It is a little bit different place then my area in tecamac because here it is a bit more city life, and it is a smaller area. We have like 3 or 4 main streets then we have like 12 smaller streets, we can walk from the bottom of our area to the top in like 20 mins so yeah kinda small. We live with members, which they are really nice also they have two sons, one is 19 in which he sometimes comes with us to work and stuff and the other one is older I am not sure how much older but yes older. Another cool thing is that the older son is the Ward mission leader, but the bad thing is that he is hardly home so that is cool. The ward is kind of small, this past week there were 90ish in sacrament meeting. The members are pretty nice too. But not of people want to listen to us though, because we did a lot knocking on doors and stuff but not a lot of people want to listen so this will be interesting. Okay so my new comp is Elder Rodriguez, he is from San luiz mexico, 21 years old, has 7 brothers and sisters, and has 9 months in the mission. He is a good guy, likes to play fúlbal. Our apartment is a lot better then the one before, because we can basically live there, there is a kitchen and desks. Although it is smaller but that is okay, I like it better. Oh another thing about the apartment is that it is also stuffy because there isn`t a lot of air going in and out. Sounds like home is home, but I don´t like the Idea that you bought a new bottling machine without me, or my advise, but more then anything is that you bought it when I am not working there, about 2 years ago would have been nice. nah just kidding, you should name it stainless bob. Oh just some info on veracurz mexico because I have met some people from veracruz here, and they are interesting people, they can be kind of rude and I am sure that cameron will hear and the swear words a lot more. But they are interesting people. (My friend Cameron is going to Veracruz Mexico, and so i told shawn about it.. So yeah) Oh about the church building is that it is very very very small, all it is, is just one hallway at one end is the sacrament room and the other end is the offices and in between are the classrooms, and only two wards go there so that is good, our church starts at 10 in the morning. Oh and yesterday we had to fill the baptism font with buckets, Okay about half of it maybe a little less then half, because there was already some water but not enough. Bueno so this past week we did a lot of knocking on doors and stuff and while we were walking there was this group of people started to talk to us in english saying to come here because they wanted to talk and stuff, to we go and start talking, and come to find out that 3 out of the 10 that were there were mormons and yeah that was cool because one of the question is that if we change our shoes, and I was like no and I show them my shoes and in fact one of them has a small hole so we laughed and stuff. Yeah it was cool, will not sure what else to say so yeah Love YA!!

Love
