yes i did get new shoes they hurt my feet a little because i have to break them in. but the cost me like 100 dollars 1000 pesos and everyone told me they should last a while. but only time will tell. And the reason why it was so hard is because of my comp. i have faught more with this comp in the past 2 weeks. then i have with all my other comps put together!

patience!!!!!! oh my gosh. this comp has less time then me and he thinks he knows more. but everytime he tells me we need to do something we are not allowed to do it, or it is not an affective way of doing things. oh and since he has more time here in Victoria he thinks that he can tell me what to do. and he tries to cammand me. MOM I Need help. I don't want to fight with him and i'm trying so hard to be pacient what should i do? I need the mom advice! now i know how you and dad felt everytime i thought i knew better.!

where do i start? this week was super hard. my comp is like a Little kid and if he doesn't have it his way then he throws a fit and tries to chew me out for it. This week was super trying when it came to our numbers as well. I feel like i'm opening up an área because my comp doesn't know what to do if our lessons fall through. I feel like i'm training. and after this experience i don't want to train anymore. but i know that the lord has put me wiht him for a reason. i think that it is to teach me pacience. To me he looks like a mexican versión of mr bean. But something good here is that there are a ton of hills that are super steep here so i will get thin fast i hope. and i gave up soda. well in the middle of doing it. today we went to McDoandls and talk about amazing food. and i only drank one glass of coke. i didn't want more it was amazing. So on saturday we had to walk up a hill that was like a mile long and was super steed i about died when i got to the top. here it looks really cool because we are sourrended by moutains on both sides and it looks a lot like Utah. which makes me miss home even more. i did reach my goals however this week so i'm going to countine to try and reach them this week. I love you all and that is pretty much all that happened this week. talk to you next week.

Hey everyone so the reason why i'm writting on a tuesday and not on a wednseday is because i got transfered yesterday. The new city is Victoria and it's still really cold here. which i've been told it's really weird. but that's ok. It was really hard to say goodbye to all the invs, less actives, actives, and all the elderes i met in Mante but it was time for me to go. my new comp is named Elder Juarez. He is from here in mexcio. so my spanish is going to sky rocket and I'm super pumped about that. So far all i have done here in Victoria is get here unpack eat some dinner go to walmart to shop and now write. This area is kinda barren when it comes to invs. he told me that we only have like 1 family that we are teaching right now and that they will be baptized on the 22 april. I'm going to fix how many invs we have. I plan on having by the end of the week atleast 5 more. and by the end of the month so many that we can't get to all of them in a week. that is my new hope. and my new goal. The lord answered my prayers this week and gave me a comp that i will not be tempted to speak english all day long with. which i'm super happy about!!!!! I also have a goal to read the entire book of mormon in this change (the next 6 weeks) i have done the math and i will only have to read 15 pages aday. which is not hard at all. I'm learning so much and i love my mission! i don't beleieve that i have almost a year in my mission time is flying and with it the joy i have had is more then anything else! i love you all and cant wait to hear from you all next week.

this is gema my most recent convert it was the hardest to say goodbye to her i don-t know why but it was super hard
