Hey family and friends,

So this week was a little crazy with the swine flu and all of that but we kept on working and actually had pretty good results. So because of the flu scare i was wearing a face mask thing that the docters wear. I forgot how to call that. But it was so freaking hot and from my nose to my mouth was sweating for 3 days. Then i come to find out that they only work for 8 hours and not 3 days. Lame. At least i might have lost some weight around the mouth nose region. Hehehe. O and the best was that my comp was walking around with a black scarf tied over his mouth and nose. It was funny he looked like a crazy ninja-missionarie. Im sure he had alot of hot.

So im pretty jealous of mexico kids. About evry week they have vacations or holidays. This week was dia del niño and dia de trabajo. Day of the kid and day of work. Both respected holidays in all of mexico and many southern amçerican countries. Im thinking about making an suggested amendment to add these holidays in the States. I think its a good idea.

So we had changes. And im staying. Im geting a comp named elder gonzalez. He will be the new district leader. So thats pretty cool. I thought i would be the new district leader. But thats fine. On saterday night i was thinking about that and i came to the conclusion that all i want is a comp that wants to work. And i think thats what i got and im prety stoaked.
Love ya lots. Keep in touch.

A few random questions: when does trevor blanc get home? Is cousin Brandon working on his papers or has he already sent them? any progress with the YM and mission papers?
