Well family its just your boy again writing in with the updates about life out here in Mexico. This last week I got transfered to a pueblo called Villa Hidalgo. It is in the state of Nayarit and pretty much in the middle of no where. My companion is Elder Quiroz and he is a little odd, femi. Yeah you just keep laughing, I dont know what makes you laugh more, the fact that I have a girly comp or the fact that my daily showers consist of a 5 gal bucket and a water cup. Yep pretty met but I love it here too. This last week has just consisted of working everyday and teaching people. The people here are alot better than the people in the city and honestly I like it out here more. It is not cold here to say the least, matter of fact is is pretty hot. Actually really hot. The people are accepting and more willing to listen but are just lazy. The challenge here will be getting people to follow through on their commitments. It is sick though here, chickens and roosters everywhere and drunk people passed out on the sidewalk. Yesterday we walked by a passed out guy and took his whole bottle of alcohol from him. He probably woke up a little mad but he will get over it right? Thank you everybody for the birthday wishes, I cant believe this week I will finish my teenage years. I am so met. My birthday wont consist of buying a nice dinner, there is no where to get a nice dinner. Also mom about the packages, I have not received any packages from you but I am excited to receive them all in one huge heap of packages. Especially out here, I wont get them for even longer. So Ben and Olivia are just officially out huh? That is also hard to believe. That is good for them though so thats what matters. Really nothing too great has happened. I just live everyday out here and take it for the adventure that it is. I love every second out here, at times it is hard but I am in flipping Mexico. Not only that but I am in the service of the Lord. He is always with me and I am His right now. I feel so close to Him always and it is something that not everybody can experience. This mission is the best thing I have ever done. I love this church and my Lord, Jesus Christ. He has made our lives possible. We are eternally endebted to Him. I love you all and am so grateful for everything. Celebrate my birthday for me huh?
