Hey so this week was awesome! transfers came and me and my comp stayed! YES that is what i was hoping would happen! This saturday we have a baptism! and i'm super pumped about! So on tuesday we went to tampico for my comp! his sickness has gone away and we had so much fun! So a girl from the reception desked  walked in and the first thing we did was get a wiff of her perfume. My comp said come back i need to smell you again! i couldn't help but laugh. it was a good trip! we also won a contest in our zone! it was a good week! My comp was made District leader so that is sweet we will be going to tampico a lot I think. haha it was such a good week that it flew by.sunday came and i asked my comp what happened to the week??? wow i hope the mission slows down just a little bit because it's going way to fast! 

I almost forgot some photos !

1. mega tacos!!  

2. me on my one year mark! 

3. I was super cold one day so i grabed my blanket

hey from down here in mexico!!! everything is doing really well! it's super hot but that's ok i couldn't ask for anything more. I really have come to love the heat and hate the cold! so here in Tamuin we have a baptism planned for next weeek! please pray for her, her name is Laura and she has a testimony really strong in the church and is excited for her baptism! Please also pray for a young man named Chema. He is reading the book of mormon and remembering just about everything that is going on. and he says when he reads the book of mormon he gets disconnected from the world and he loves to read it! my comp is sick so we are heading out to tampico tomorrow please please pray for him his name is ELder Mendoza. we are hoping all is well but he has had a headache for the past week and a half. we have gone to a few doctors offices and they have given him pills but they said they aren't helping. but oh well. this week we had a lot of thunderstorms so one thing i like to do is go out side and watch the lighting hit the ground. it reminds me of how awesome gods creations are! I love you all and thanks for always listening!!!!!!!!!

hey so this week was really good. on saturday we had a meeting with the mission pres so that was good. And yesterday we had our stake confrence. the only problem with these two meetings is that we have to travel an hour to go to valles to go to the meetings. so i'm using up all my money fast. but with these meeting i was able to see a few of my ex comps which was awesome i got a picture with them! i was so happy to see them again. we couldn't really work much this week because my comp was sick but we did mangage to get a few good days in. so here in tamuin there is a lot of work because there aren't a lot of member becauses its just a tiny branch but next month we have a planned baptism everyweek! I feel like they will happen and my comp feels the same way. Can i just say that my comp is the best comp ever! he loves to work and we are getting along so well! i have some pictures of the trips we had. So on the way to valles we rented a 20 man van we had more then 20 people show up so what we did is take the little seats from the nursery and use them in the isles don't worry I have photos I thought it was wicked awesome because we can't do that in the US but here pretty much everything goes! Yesterday we went to a less active members house to talk to him and has pretty much given up on the church but we have not given up on him so we are going to go by pretty much everyday this week! He is a really good guy he is just going through some rough patches and he thinks that god has forsaken him but we all know that isn't true! it's nuts! well that was my week!!!!!!!!

hey so that story about trace is crazy it reminds me of my nights when i sat in the bathroom all night. so tell trace i feel his pain. if you could get me his email that would be awesome! 

So my comp is amazing i don't think i have worked so hard and had so much fun at the same time!!! he is from honduras!! he really is helping me with my spanish. So the apartment is sweet! it's not very big but it's big enough for us to live in comfort! I love it here! in Tamuin it's super hot but it's amazing!! it's just a little branch but we are working hard. we have 40 people in the church everyweek. it reminds of the time we went to Guatamala and theyre wasn't many people but it was still an amazing experience! The members here all of the missionaires!! I was stunned when they all wanted to help the best they can. This week was awesome! we picked mangos we talked with some invs and we just talked so far my favorite week of the mission! Tell tance to work hard and pay attention to what Andy says because i messed up alot because i wasn't listening. I love it here in Tamuin! time for photos!!!

hey so this week me and my comp have special changes. that means that we are bothing leaving the area. We don't know why but we believe that someone did something wrong in another area and we are the ones who are getting changed. because what happens here is that one they have special changes they can't just change 2 missionaries they need to change a few. so we got caught up in a change but that's ok i know it's what the lord wants. 

sO our invs did come to church yesterday which is great and we are really helping them learn more about the gospel. their oldest daughter didn't want to get baptized so after talking to her we found out why and we really helped her. I know believe that she want's to be baptized. The only sad part about it is that I will know be here for their baptizm! I hope the new missionaries here really teach them well. That is so great to hear about tance!!!!! and sawyer really will be a great missionary if she can learn about those specials things early in life. I'm going to miss victorira but i'm excited for a new changes! I love you all and thanks for emailing me.
