Hola Familia,

So this week has been great! My companion has been having a little bit of a tough time because of things that have happened in his house, but we continue to work hard and really search the scriptures daily. It's freaking awesome! Well, I feel like time is just flying right now, it's so crazy! But I absolutely love it! I really don't know what to say. This week hasn't been super interesting. Well, actually, I learned some things about the church yesterday that I really didn't know existed and that really gave me the desire to really study the scriptures because wow there is so much in the scriptures that I don't even know! Our ward mission leader knows a ton about the scriptures and then our Bishop knows the church doctrine so well! They have really helped me to find answers to some questions that I have had and wow all I can say is that there is no no no no no way that the church could be false or be established by some man. There are just so many things that existed in the past and we do them exactly the same now in the present time!

This week I've learned a ton with some help and it's been awesome! I'm glad that you guys had fun this weekend and at Hali's wedding! That's sweet that her husband (woa, that's kinda weird to say, but suave at the same time) can speak Spanish and served in Mexico City! Yeah, Im totally learning how to speak chilango, it's awesome! My companion is pro at it! So he's been helping me! It really helps when we do our contacts, because the people can see that we are normal and gives them the interest of listening to us! It's just awesome here I love it!

I found out that I'm living in one of the magical towns in Mexico there are only ten in Mexico and I'm living in one. How sweet is that! I found it pretty interesting! Oh yeah and sorry about the English it's starting to become a little hard to speak and think in English unless I'm talking with a greengo! My companion wants me to speak English with him and I try to but a lot of times it's just so much easier to speak in Spanish! I don't know it's probably a little weird but it's so true! I love it! Well I'm loving life and working super hard mom so don't worrry! I'm trying to be as obedient as possible! Well love you guys!

Family,

I'm doing wonderful! Yeah there is just tons of work by the end of the week. I totally look forward to Monday to just kind of relax a little bit! But well actually today I didn't get that chance we got four zones together and played! Yeah we played soccer for like three hours straight!I can barely walk now! It was a blast! I did forget to put on sunscreen so I got a little burnt but don't worry I'm fine! About the investigators, we have tons! The hardest part with all of them is getting them to church. That's our goal this week is getting a lot of them to church! Oh yeah and the other night when we returned home to the casa we found a scorpion just chillin on the wall! my companion was totally afraid of it! It was sweet looking! Things are going wonderful! That stinks for Beau (They lost in the state finals, but still took 2nd place.) But I'm sure he's keeping his head up which is good! Well take care I love you guys!

Note from Tennison March 9th . . Hey mom I just wanted to send you a quick message to let you know that I have tried eye tacos now!!!! I'm being dead serious! They actually taste pretty good its only the texture which I will leave to your imagination that I don't really like! Yeah it's just like eating an eye! haha yeah it's the one that's different than the rest! the others are al pastor tacos which are definitley my favorites!
(I asked him what kind of eyes and he said they were cow eyes, eeek.)

Family,

Well nothing too interesting has happened since I last talked to you! Oh, Im still in Mexico haha! Yesterday we went and ate with a magician. He is a member in our ward and well it's kind of funny because he's a magician and his wife is a clown, like that's their professions haha! How sweet, no!? Well he taught us some sweet magic tricks! He also gave me a pair of his shoes so I shouldn't have to buy some for a while now at least so I hope! Dinner was really interesting! Ummm what else is there?

Oh some ways to tell you've been in mexico a long time:

1. When you hear bimbo you think of bread and not the other thing

2. you can understand the guys screaming gas

3. anything over 20 pesos is expensive

4. You know exactly where the best taco stands are

5. you dont know how to eat a meal without tortillas

6. If the food isnt spicy it doesnt taste good

7. its natural to always be wearing sandals inside of the house

8. you are a pro at turning on the boiler and know exactly how long it takes to have hot water.

That's all that I have for right now! Oh yeah, the Bishop took us out for tacos on Thursday night because we are working! I think it's going to be a ritual every Thursday night from now on! haha I can't decide which tacos are better tripe or al pastor definately really good! I tried head tacos those had kinda weird texture not my favorite, I think next I'm going to try eye tacos and I'll let you know how they taste! haha (Note from mom: I think he is playing me.) I love you guys! I hope you enjoyed the calm week! Good luck at state Beau!!!!
