Zentlalpan

June 22, 2009

Hey family,
So I hope things are all good for you guys in the big city. So im here in possibly the smallest area in the world. I have one pueblo (town) that is way small and almost all of the people here are members. So in my tiny little town we have one ward, about 100 people active, and a branch, with about 70 people active. We walk down the street and see a bunch of members all day. Its pretty crazy, almost everyone knows us and knows what we do.

So my comp is alright. He is kind of weird but that’s normal. We work hard but there´s not much work here. So, some cool history about the area. This is the place where the church in Mexico started. The church building that I go to on Sunday is the first church building that was built in all of Mexico. So there are some people here that share some way cool stories about the history of the church in Mexico.

So my little town is surrounded and full of fields. All kinds of corn fields. There are lots of cows and sheep that walk around. It kind of sucks cuz they poop all over the street and its almost impossible to no step in it. I just try to avoid the fresh stuff. We are so far from civilization that it sucks. We are like 3 hours from the city in car, even longer in bus. This Thursday we are going to have a mission conference. Last conference with prez. Doxey. And we have to be in Paraiso at 9 in the morning. Who kwnos at what time we will leave.

So there is not much work here but we are going to keep working hard. One of our goals is to make the branch a ward. It will be hard but nothing is impossible for God. We found two really good families that week and hope that they will progress and be able to get a baptism. Pray for our investigators and our pueblito (Zentlalpan).
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!

The whole zone came to play soccer today in a real field in my area then we ate food at a cool ladys house. The one real good thing about Zentlalpan is that there are so many members that we have everything free. Internet, tienda, breakfast, ice cream, haircuts. Its amazing. If I wanted I probably could go a week without spending a dime.
Have fun at the beach all summer. I´ll be here talking to cows and horses in the rain. Love ya lots. Amor y dedos,
