Hello! Had to write a long message to the President and I´ve been fiddlin´with more photos, so this will be the "everybody" email this week.

I got my new companion on Monday, Elder Tovar. He´s district leader, has been in the mission for more than a year, and doesn´t know the area just yet. So I´ve been in charge of the majority of the planning and scheduling and whatnot, as well as finding my our way around. It hasn´t been as bad as I thought.

It rained really hard all day Tuesday though, which was a bit interesting. Let´s just say my backpack is not as water resistant as I had hoped, and contacting was a little less than successful. "Come back when it´s not raining," one lady said, or in other words "come back when you´re not soaking wet and going to soil my clean house". We put the effort in though, and it actually made the day sorta fun. We challenged Jorgé Covarrubias (16) to baptism as well that day, so I think it was worth the trouble.

His baptism was Saturday in the morning, and his mom and grandma came. They also came to church Sunday to see him get confirmed (a total of 5 confirmations on Fast & Testimony Sunday = a lot fewer testimonies O_o ). I really hope that family will be united in the gospel one day. We´ll see what we can do, at least.

I finally got some snail mail that was sent at the beginning of the year more or less! It was awesome to hear from Ashley, I´ll have to writ eher personally when I MANAGE MY EMAIL TIME BETTER ;) Notwithstanding, I think email is preferrable to physical mail in general, if I´m going to get Christmas Cards in February.

I´ve also learned how to make horchata. Tasty, tasty stuff. I´m addicted to it, as well as the smell of fresh tortillas. I think I´ll be a very strange RM. Speaking of which, the Spanish is still coming along.

I´m glad to hear about everyone, even though the news isn´t always awesome (sashi, for example). Take care, everyone, and know that I´m happy to be here.

Love,
Elder Lund
