Good afternoon mother!!!

this weekend was awesome!!!!!! our zone dropped a bomb!!!!! we went form being the worst zone in the mission to being the best zone in the mission in 6 weeks!!!!!! next month should be better!!!!!!!! we had some baptisms fall in our area but we still ended up baptizing. i'll explain it in the voice recording and i'll send some pictures.
hey i say in the recording that i haven't gotten the mcbeths box but i just got it today in the morning after i made the recording!! it was a great package! i'll be sure to send them something really soon.

good afternoon!

well my week was actually pretty slow. we had two baptisms planed for this friday but apparently one of them didn't pass his interview..... it sucks too cause he's a really cool guy but now he's way bummed and doesnt know if he wants to do it. pray for him and the other one their names are jarold and cindy.
that's great that she made the team!!!!!!!!
yeah she was playing varsity as a freshman!!!!(talking about one of his friends sister that plays Varsity @ Basha) shes way good. and yeah i knew about tony from jen and josh. they tell me whats up with everyone. since the other guys dont write..... ha. anyways.
wow that lunch looks legit!!!! but thats not what we eat everyday. hahaha just beans rice and maybe the fried bananas. and chicken hahaha and oil... lots of oil. but yeah pupusas are from el slavador and they are freaking good when they are done the right way. when we get back ill have to go with you and try it all out. and no explanation needed. i could tell whose mom was whose from the picture hahaha. i love those kids. i haven't seen pace in forever though almost like a year. i see ward like every day hahaha.
but yeah nothing new here. go check my bank cause i had to buy shoes they costed me like 48 bucks so please check. i told you last week.... alright mom i love you so much""" i hope you have a great week!!!!
