Family,
Wow! Sounds like everyone is having a blast back at home. Yeah, just from the picture it looks like Mckay has grown a lot and still has time to grow. I'm pretty sure he'll be as big as me or bigger when I get back. Wow, that's so cool to hear everything that is going on back at home. It really makes me so happy to hear about all the fun things everyone is doing!
Well, I'm still here in Valle Dorado and it's great. We always bug Hna Clarita (that we live with) almost every night and she is always on my tail regarding writing to you guys. Haha. She's awesome! She made us pancakes this week and also for Elder Ficachi and Elder Glade. It was great! Oh, about the hybernating thing for 6 months, sorry but I don't think that's going to happen mom. Haha. (Inside joke, sorry can't share)
This week we received a reference from the visitors center of this lady who is totally prepared for the gospel. We just talked to her and she is just like wow it's so true! I loved it! She also found a Book of Mormon that her dad had and started reading it before we talked to her. It was cool! The only hard thing is that she has to work on Sundays so we have to see how we can help her with that. Other than that, it's been really hard to find people that are really ready. We have a ton of people that have gone to church once but then just don't go back. I really don't understand it. It kind of gets frustrating especially with how hard I'm working right now. When we finally get to the house at night we plan and I go straight to bed because I'm so tired! We are starting to see some blessings which is really cool!
So you want a list of 10 things that I like about mexico... hmmm......
1. they eat chile with everything
2. you can get wherever without having a car using micros or combis
3. you have to wait 3 to 4 hours after washing clothes for them to dry
4. they eat pizza with ketchup
5. if you didnt eat breakfast its really easy to find someone selling tamales
6. Tacos al pastor o they are so delicious
7. running out of water in the middle of a shower
8. all the people that think they know everything about the bible but really know nothing
9. all the teenagers taht try and practice their english but only know how to say whats you name 10. how all the churches are fenced in because of the crime! haha
So, there are ten quick things that I enjoy about Mexico. Really it was kind of hard to think of ten, but I'm sure there are a lot more. . . I just need more time to think!
Well I love you guys enjoy the week!

Mom,
Hey, havent heard from you for a while, is everything alright!? (I sent an e-mail, I'm not so sure why he didn't get it.) Im assuming you are super busy with work and having to run kids around especially now that Beau is in California! Speaking of Beau, tell him happy birthday for me please! That is so cool that he has the chance to play basketball in California. It would be really cool to see him get a scholarship to a bigger school to play!
Oh yeah, dad is giving me all the updates which is cool! Well this week was a hard week. Nothing went as planned, but we had a sweet zone conference which I learned a lot and it really helped me out a lot! It was really funny what president said about men and women. He said that God basically gave everything to the women and at the end was like . . .What do I give to the men. . . oh, the priesthood. It was really funny how he said it! I loved it! It's true, girls really have a lot more talents than us! the men! haha!
Well I'm still alive about to go bowling with Elder Ficachi. (I'm so stoked), I absolutely love that guy and being that Elder Romney is assistant, he gave us permission to go, I really just love those guys (Ficachi and Romney). They're awesome! Well love you! Hope everything is going well!
Love Elder Tennison Hunter

Mom,
Well, I haven't recieved a letter from you because I assume you are really busy or have some meeting or something! I know you don't like it when I don't write so I'm writing. haha! (Shame on Mom, we were busy getting Beau moved into his new city and apartment.) Everything is going good down here in Mexico! I absolutely love having Elder Ficachi as my district leader, he is awesome! I've been doing great and really working hard!
I like what dad wrote me how if you have a good attitude even through the hard times you can really learn a lot and I have really learned a lot through the hard times in the mission and well even the easy times but I can really see how you can't grow if everything was just super easy!? This week we didn't have as much success, but we still worked hard!
How is Beau doing? Is he now in Cali? and the little boys? like Bryson how is he doing? He is basically the only one who doesn't write me, haha, not surprising huh!?
Well I love you guys! Oh yeah, I might have to go to the dentist because one of my teeth has really been hurting a lot, but the good thing is that I have a few dentists in the ward so it won't be too hard. Take care!

Family,
Wow sounds like you guys are all doing awesome, what a pleasure it is to be able to write you guys!
Sorry I haven't written for a while! But im so happy to hear of all the fun things you guys are doing and all the blessings you have recieved! Well, last weeek I was going to write but I had a problem with the changes! I was waitng for my companion for like two hours and he never showed up so my zone leader called trying to find him and we found out that he was with President. So I had to stay the night with my new district leader, Elder Ficachi, one of my old companions. That was a blast! Well come to find out I ended up recieving another elder named Elder Perez he is from Monterrey Mexico and very proud of it! haha! This is his second change in the mission and he loves to work and we get along great! Basically that's the reason I didn't write last week, because of that huge mess of changes!
Well, someone told Hermana Clarita that I didn't write (that's the Hermana we live with) and well she chewed me out for not writing you guys! (Note from Mom: Hermana Clarita's son lives in Kearns, Utah and he brought a package back for me from Tennison and I mentioned I didn't receive an e-mail in two weeks and he put a word in for me. Her Grandson, David is now living with us from Mexico, he was accepted into the MBA International program at BYU. We are excited to have him in our home.)
I'm working super hard lately and seeing tons of miracles! We found 26 new investigators this week, took 8 to church and had one baptism! Really it's just been crazy! But so awesome! I love missionary work! Well you guys take care! Good luck Beau! (Beau will be leaving this week to go to Harnell College in Salinas, California to play basketball this upcoming year.) Congratulations Mckay! (McKay's team took first place in the Strikerfest tournament and scored one goal each game.)
I love you all!
