Wow another busy week for you guys, haha keep it up Jensen, and always keep hitting until you hear the whistle, never stop never give up, okay? Learn to be dedicated all the way through right now in football and you will be a lot better when you are older. Do you have a lot of stuff growing in the garden? What exactly is the Whatcom county farm tour? What do you guys have to do for it? haha ya I brush my teeth for like 7 minutes every morning and every night, because I don't want to have to go to a dentist here in Mexico.

This week has been pretty crazy, my companion and I are working ridiculously hard, its been a little frustrating because we haven't seen a lot of success yet, but it usually take 4-5 weeks to see success, so we should see success at the end of this transfer. It's really amazing the effect that not working has on an area, especially when nobody has done anything for 3 or 4 months, but my companion and I are changing the area around and really focusing on helping the people here, because the ward is in shambles.

We don't have a bishop or a Relief Society president or most of our auxiliary leaders, and there is only one counselor in the bishopric.
But we are doing our part and working really hard with the ward mission leader (he is a really awesome guy). We are finding here in the area that a lot of people don't understand much. We teach a lesson and either don't listen or just flat out to understand anything. It's really sad, because the lessons are really basic and people just cant put two and two together. And a lot of people claim to be Catholic but they don't even know what Jesus Christ did here in the earth. Its been hard not to get frustrated, but I am keeping a good attitude and working hard.

My companion and I are getting a long really well and it has been fun. He is kinda of a music geek, but its okay. This morning we bought a cake at Lety´s pasteleria (ask Sister Lara about how good they are) so I am really excited to eat it. But I am not a huge fan of the cakes with milk, and my companion wanted one really bad, but still I am really excited.

I have to admit I can't think of anything else to say right now, if I think of something else I will send another email.

I love you all, hasta luego amigos
