Good morning family!

Well this week has been super busy! Lots of stuff happened. First off, I got my brand new companion, his name is Elder Blood. Fun name right? Most of the people here think it's pretty funny. He is from Herriman Utah. He is already 19, so I don't have to deal with some 18 year old haha. He is already learning Spanish pretty well. He is definitely still learning, but hes doing a great job. He actually got to be one of the first missionaries in the mexico city mtc. I thought that was pretty cool. He says it was really fun to learn Spanish there. So I've been a little stressed lately with training and district leader stuff, but it looks like things are starting to calm down a little. Hopefully this week we can get more settled in. Our investigators have been doing pretty well recently. We were finally able to get some people to church! The Vasquez family came to church again this week. We are just starting to teach them, but thanks to a wonderful sister in our branch, they have already come to church twice! Awesome!!

So my district is great as well. It's a big district. There are 6 elders, 4 sisters, and a senior couple. They are all really great. And we have all those missionaries for 1 ward and 1 branch. The work is growing! I'm pretty excited for all the work that is going on right now. I try hard not to focus on how soon I am going home, but it's hard sometimes. I'm getting pretty excited to see you all again!
Well that's pretty much all I have to say this week. I am just so used to missionary work I don't know what to write really... Oh, I guess I have one funny story, I kicked a dog for the first time this week! He tried to bite my leg when we were on our bikes, so I kicked it in the face. Not to say I enjoy kicking dogs, but I'm glad it didn't bite me. And on that note, I hope you all are doing great! talk to you next week!
