Hi!

Well this week has been so hot! I really can't believe how much walking I have to do. But it's great. I really like what I'm doing. Sure I have some dissapointing days where I sometimes wish that time would go by faster but I know that this work is important. We had a pretty succesful week and found a lot of new people who were willing to listen to our message and learn more. I am grateful to the Lord for having such a great companion. I really have learned a lot from him. Well this past Sunday I stayed at the Hidalgo Ward for the 3 hours of Church service. It really reminds me a lot of Raymondville. There are a lot of great members here in Hidalgo and they really are helpful when it comes to missionary work. The other day I realized how close we are to the border because I saw the border fence for the first time. It runs along the expressway to Hidalgo. It's crazy to realize how close we are to Mexico.

Well I hope that everyone is doing well at home. I didn't receive any email from my family this week so I hope that everything is alright. I love you guys.
