hey family! ok well its still hot and dry and I have a killer tan already :) my p-days are on tuesdays and its gonna be ton´s easier to get a hold of me through e-mail than regular mail.... it takes about a month to get stuff from el paso cuz our mission president goes there once a week and picks stuff up and then we only have meetings in chihuahua every month so i pick stuff up then. so yeah it´ll be a while.... i´ll put mike in my prayers cuz i don´t know how to get a hold of him here. we have a baptism set up and hopefully we're able to get her to attend church. her name is mayra. and we're working with another lady named paty and her daughter edith. she was a pastor-ess (?) and now is investingating the church. pretty cool stuff. well i´m still sick, its still hot and í´m tired all the time. my body is having a tough time adjusting to this place. i have to buy new pants today cuz number 1, there is no dry cleaner in this little pueblo i live in and number 2, i´ve lost soooo much weight. this is better than any diet! ;) but everything will be fine. i was reading the conference talks and Pres. Uchdorf´s in the priesthood session changed my attitude. read it its good. well i´m gonna try to throw on a couple of pics here and then go but i love ya!! tell larry and andy congrats in two days!!
ok so i´m running out of time so i´ll send more pics next week!
