This week has been pretty good!!! My comp was pretty sure he was getting transferred and let me take control this week which was nice, because I love my comp and all but he just didn't like to really be the most effective as possible. haha But anyways it was a little sad because one of my favorite investigators who lived in the United States tell he was deported.. he has lots of problems because he can't find a job and has three little kids ( he was the one we helped slaughter a pig with which was nasty because they used every part of the pig, and then I realized I had been eating cooked blood mixed with a bunch of other gross things for 2 months...) we found him out of his mind drunk on the road, and then he opened up to us about how much harder to live here then in the United States and a bunch of other horrible stuff.. I mean I see why people would want to come to the United States especially here in Oaxaca.. some of the people we visit have houses, but usually just a tin box and then they work 16 hours a day EVERY DAY. Gosh it's aweful. I mean I don't want to be like, let the Mexicans in, but I think there can be a better plan then the one we have. and also this week we added another routine to the trees.... now we dance and sing.. but the thing is no one knew the dance or the song so we just looked like a bunch of stupid trees.. I forgot why I didn't do plays ;) haha anyways being a missionary is awesome because every day i get to feel the spirit and help people become closer to God! So to be a good missionary i want to remind you to read the scriptures and pray every day!! :)}

With all my love
