Hey everyone!

Not much happened this past week. I can't believe how fast this transfer is going. So far we are only teaching the M_____ family and we are working hard to getting them to Church. For some reason they love the Book of Mormon and are keeping the commitments we are leaving them but they haven't come to Church! It really is frustrating to see these people that I really care about not keep that most important committment! I was feeling pretty upset Sunday morning during sacrament meeting when I realized that they weren't going to attend once again. Elder H_____ and I knocked on their door a couple of times and rang the doorbell but no one came to the door. It really was dissapointing. But well we are going to give it our all once again this week. We already set up a lesson at a member's home for tonight and I know that after today they will be 100% committed to coming to Church.

Well I don't know if I have written a lot about my companion. He is a crazy kid! He makes some amazing salsa and pico de gallo and rice and other food. Just yesterday he decided to make some melon water! Its super good. He is a super crazy hyper kid but well he knows a lot about the Gospel as well. I do get along with him really well so I hope that we stay together for at least one more transfer. I am getting a bit tired of the area to be honest but I know the Lord has me here for a reason and I aim to find out.

Well I wont be sending any mail out this week. I ran out of stamps and forgot to buy any yesterday! So sorry. My companion doesnt write home so he doesnt have any. :/

I love you all. Take care!
