Well it is nice to hear that errbody is doing well. my first week here was really something else but all in all it was amazing. My trainer is elder harding from spanish fork and elder wright from mesa. They are awesome and i am learning so much. On saturday i baptized a lady named aurora and these next two weeks we have dates for every weekend. the trick for being successful in this life is just getting out and doing it. thats really all there is to it. the spanish is coming along at its own pace. most of the time i am just chillin saying si to everything and laughing. thats really all i can do sometimes so it is whatever. I am in Zapopan Jalisco. It is pretty ghetto. when you google earth it you might see some nice city with a huge mall and nice car dealerships but dont worry i am not there. just look for the most met place and thats me. it is awesome though. it doesnt even feel like christmas out here so that is weird that it is already almost here. for christmas in two weeks we have a mission party and also christmas day there is a recent convert who invited us over for comida. she has a phone plan to the states cause her husband is there so i will call from there for free. the weather here is not too bad. it is always sunny but i only have back sweat for like 4 hours out of the day so i guess thats good. its not humid at all and it just feels like a spring day at home. As for laundry we just drop our clothes off at a laundromat and they wash and fold them for us for like 5 bucks. the food here is so good as well. we eat a lot of tortillas and tacos and meat with lime. i eat lime with everything. also something that will make shea happy is i have started eating onions on everything, so when i get home we can eat onions together. aside from all of the drunk people this place is awesome. it is also pretty safe and with elder wright and me as a companionship nobody is going to mess with us. he played football too and elder harding is a stud so just the three of us, nobody will try to do anything. mom it sounds like you and matthew pulsifer need to start hanging out with all of your new gadgets. i never thought that day would come i swear you just learned how to text. that is awesome though the most expensive thing i have carried for the last three months has been my sick watch from costco. I live a simple life now with a ton of walking and working. also this week i think on wednesday my comps and i are going to make a christmas miracle for this family of 6. we are going to paint their whole house for them. the husband said he wanted to but didnt have the money or time so we are just going to show up and do it. I am excited about that. elder harding came up with the idea and my companions are men with a purpose. we are out here to get it done and we get it done. barely have time to breathe and i havent sat for a week. yeah what. also i dont know how to work this keyboard so thats why there are only periods. to send packages just send everything to the mission house. the mail is pretty good and it will only take like 3 or 4 weeks. also i am going to buy a backpack today cause that bag i have ripped so i am just putting it on your debit card if thats ok. ok well family i love you all and you mom. keep up the christmas spirit. i love this work and what i am doing. there is nothing i would rather do. i know this church is true and the plan of happiness really is for us to be happy. i love the book of mormon and everything that is in it. i love all of you. im out.
