Hi Mom

I can't write much this week but I will tell you a few things. I ran into your cousin the other day and it caught me by surprise and I still have no idea who she is and how she recognized me but whatever that's cool one more cousin in the mission. From Toluca I went to Metepec close by but now I'm back close to DF actually a suburb called Tlalnepantla tecnically I'm in Estado de Mexico but they call it DF. I'm close to the Benemerito so maybe you can talk to Abuelo and get the adresses of his friends around here. The district leader thing is going ok I still feel really new and not too experienced but I have the responsibility for a reason so ok. I think I'm gonna get the emails of a few of the missionaries in my district because I think their families don't write them so you guys can write them. That's all I really have time for this week but thank you for writing and hopefully all the business stuff goes well. I love you Mom talk to you next week.

Hey Dad

I sat down today and was looking at all my letter and found Skylar's I started one for him so it should go out before week's end. I think I lost my sheet of stamps things have a way of losing themselves somehow I think I have half of what I came hear with, besides clothes. However I think that's nothing to worry about sending a letter home only costs about 7 pesos so it comes out about the same. I've had my share of those companions and hope I haven't been that companion for someone else because i do try my hardest. I'm included here in praying for Skylar, Kylie also wrote me and said that I had helped Skylar in lots and I hope I can keep doing that for him. Hope the wedding turned out pretty stinkin good I know Mom always wows the crowd even given little time and resources. About the testimonies I know that this work is the most important work here on Earth and each Prophet since Adam has preached it so I am more than satisfied with my contribution in it. There is a part of our mission theme that says Each missionary plays an important part in bringing to pass the task of Our Heavenly Father in "bringing to pass the inmortality and eternal life of man." I know I fall in that part and that I can do great things through little things.
Here is a list of the people I'm teaching and what their needs are:
1. Raquel and Jesus and their daughter Rachel, Raquel is sick with a few things and is looking for healing, also wants her husband to stop drinking and come closer to the family. We took them to church and think that Jesus felt good there.
2. Adan is 27 has kinda the same problem Cha Cha had and is trying really hard to stay clean apart is living with a woman that he wants to marry but hasn't been baptized yet so really shouldn't live with her.
3. Christian and his family Christian was into drugs and now has kidney problems because of it and is waiting for a spot to get a kidney we haven't been able to find him lately so that's him.
4. Liz she works with a member and has been listening to us but has a hard time I think letting go of parents teaching even though wrong and doesn't really know what the spirit feels like. Explained to her that going to church would help but hasn't gone yet so that's what she needs help with.
Those are the ones most likely to get baptized next so for now that's the list. Hopefully they can get over their trials and come unto Christ this week. That's all I got for this week. Oh one more thing I think I found Abuelito Santigo's name in the visitor's center in an exhibition of Mexican Pioneers, I'll try and send a picture of it next week. Thanks for writing Dad I love you take care of Mom for me.
