New area!

My companion is named Elder Novoa, and he´s from Hermosillo, Sonora. I´ve known him since I started the mission. When I had dengue, he leant me his suit coat because I was shivering to death when I went to the mission offices for my visa (more than a year ago!). He´s cool and we´re working hard in this new area. The zone is called Unión, and the area is Providencia. I`m still in Guadalajara. Actually, Providencia is to the west of my previous zone and directly beneath Belenes. I totally know this entire half of the city now. My zone also includes certain pueblos that are outside the city, like Tala, Ameca, and the famous and terribly apostate Tequila. Also, the mission president and his family live in our ward.

Actually, Elder Wilde is in Ameca, and his companion is Elder Barbosa (who I know from Independencia). Elder Guzmán is in Tala. Elder Cruz is here in the city in the area known as Estancia. I know everybody!...which makes me feel old.

Oh yeah, and I ate a grasshopper this week.

So general conference was awesome, and I have lots of ideas I want to put in practice in the zone and the area. It´s basically in the same position Independencia was in when I showed up in that it´s a very unsuccessful zone, but if The Lord did it once He can do it again. The plan is to build this zone into one of the best. We have the resources to do it, it just depends on how much we want it. Pray for that, please.

Time is out. We´re leaving the city and going to the district class in Tala today, which should be an adventure.

A couple thoughts: When do I need to register for classes? Also, I hear they are looking for people to be part of the Mystborn movies. Do you know anything about that? I hear it´s a good series and the author is a professor at BYU.

I love you all very much, and am trying my best to make the most of what feels like the apex of my mission here. I need to put everything I´ve learned into practice and spend a lot of time on my knees. There´s not much time left, and I want to do as much as I can.

Love you,
Elder Lund
