Holy cow, what a crazy week. We've done a lot of traveling this week. Every week we travel to Ajijic for our District and Zone meetings, but this week we also had interviews with President Egginton, so we went to Ajijic twice. That was great. He is such an awesome guy! And after he took us out to dinner and I had a pretty dang good steak. We also had the awesome opportunity to listen to a seminar by President Durant. He was the one who gave the "ponderizing" talk in this General Conference. It was great. He talked a lot about missionary work and helped us to ask better questions. And man is he tall!! So anyway, we spent a lot of time this week on the bus.

We are progressing with a few investigators, but we have none with baptism dates. We do almost all our work in reactivation, we have so many less-active members. When we showed up, we had no investigators to go off of. There hasn't been a baptism for about 8 months in this branch. Our church is an actual LDS building, but its tiny compared to our building. We have about 45 members every Sunday.

We've been able to find quite a few new investigators this week. And we've met a lot of great people. A few of them know a little bit of English, and during our lessons they try to practice on me. It's almost as hard to understand as the Spanish haha! But it’s great!

Also, I just want to make sure you guys definitely know; the food here is amazing. This one family sells these tortas (toasted sandwiches from heaven) that are absolutely to die for. And another one of the members sons runs a taco cart, and oh my goodness. It was fantastic! The street tacos are absolutely amazing!

One other nice surprise is that the electricity in our apartment keeps going out. The breaker sometimes just doesn't work. And yesterday, it just quit. So we have to get the landlord to fix it. But it will just be flashlights until then! And cold showers, because we start our boiler with toilet paper and our electric stove haha!

It hasn't rained all that much. But yeah, we just go out and do work. The roads turn to a muddy mess. Most of them are just cobblestone and dirt. But it’s only rained three times, and two of them were at night.

Well everyone, it’s starting to get better. The Spanish is still a struggle, but it's not nearly as big of a burden as before. I'm starting to understand more and more every day. And the work is actually going places. We've finally gotten past the second lesson with an investigator, and we've had less-active members coming to church. And the love you can feel from the branch is amazing. The people here are so great!

Thank you all again for your support. I love hearing from you all, and knowing that I have so many people at home supporting the work is a great comfort. I love you all, and have a fantastic week!!
