Hey family,

This week has been pretty good, and yes mom we had water this week haha.  That's great to hear that Michael is doing good! And thanks so much for the pictures mom, more than anything I love seeing  the pictures, and I like when you send me pictures in the packages!! and the church pictures too! Anyways sounds like you guys are doing good.  I can't believe that Mackey gets home this week, it seems like he just left.  And I can't believe I already have been here 5 months! Hopefully Brandon does alright over there, it will probably be the hardest part for him is the first month or so.  Mom, you're going to want to kill me but I didn't take any pictures this week, just a picture of our pet cats... but I promise I will take some pictures this week!  We had a zone conference this week in Centro Tijuana it was pretty good, it's always good to get together with the other missionaries that we don't see too often.  I'm doing good physically this week, except it was dang hot all this week.  I'm probably going to die down here this summer.  I tried to use the Subway card last Monday but it doesn't work down here.  They said you have to be in the United States to use it. I've had lots of experiences this week that have helped my testimony grow.  This week while meeting with one of our investigators that  is really sick and they don't know exactly what she has but they don't have money to go to the hospital, they don't even have any food to eat.  She's in so much pain but they can't do anything about it. It's experiences like that that make you thankful for the things you have, sometimes when I'm sick for a couple days I think I've got it rough but just to see the way some people live is really humbling. Anyways I have to go now, but have a great week fam, thanks for everything!
