Hello friends and family, how are you peoples?

I am doing just fine here in Catzacoalcos still. We got the changes yesterday, my companion leaves and I will be staying here another transfer as district leader. Oh, and the news yesterday is that also I will be recieving a new missionary to train... what fun this will be! I dont know who it is until tomorrow. In the morning at 5, I will be leaving to Villahermosa to go get him.

YES DAD THE PACKAGE ARRIVED and tomorrow I will probably be picking it up myself. Thank you so so so much. Lets see, the week was great. Its been raining off and on every other day or so. The last few days have been super cold for me i think like 65. I had to put my jacket thing on because i was so cold with the wind and everything. Poor little me ahh.

I tell you all what...., life is just great down here. We will be baptizing a family this saturday. That will be just so great! haha

FACT.... did you know that when us white people tan we think we are dark right, well after being with brown people for such a long time, I feel so red! Its funny, I think.

Anyways, the work is going well here. In one of the wards I am in, we are only working in reactivating. Its so sad how someone can actually lose their testimony. That whole saying that your testimony is like a plant its so true. I have been working and working with these non-active people and trying to get them to go to church. But all in all, I feel that I am not having much success.

I have only re-activated 3 families. I wish that they could just remember how much better life could be if they were assisting the church, the true church of God, the mormons or whatever you would call it. better LA IGLESIA DE JESUCRISTO DE LOS SANTOS DE LOS ÙLTIMOS DÌAS.

estoy super agredecido por tener una familia que realmente estan esforzandose para lograr una familia eterna.... les amo de verdad. les quiero y si ya, lo saben. .....pues no importa.

Have a great week! I will send pictures the next week... love elder schall
