Its weird to hear that Jacob is seeing snow. Im dying from heat down here in the south end of the world. It really makes it hard sometimes as for me the heat makes me sleepy. I have to fight myself to stay awake to work. It should just be another month and things should start to cool down.

53 hours of work is too much. I recently read a scripture in the book of mormon that says basically dont gather treasures in the earth but gather treasures in heaven. You got to slow down and enjoy the world. Im really one to talk Im basically supposed to be working 57 hours more or less every week. I guess its good to be grateful for the work.

Well this week was something unespected. We were a trio for a while. Elder Jenson was with us for a whole week and a half. President Essig called us on thursday to tell us that hes being changed to another sector. I guess something happened and there was a missionary left without a companion and so he had to send someone there. That trio didnt last very long. Ill miss elder Jenson, he is a great missionary and he had cool music.

Elder Lizama it turns out will be sticking around until the end of the change. The bad news is that he will have to return to Mexico for his surgery (although from the sound of his familys voice when he called to tell them its probably not really that bad of news for them). He will fly back home at the end of the change which is in about a month and he will be in recuperation for about a month and then he will return to finish his mission. President Essig gave him the option to be released from his calling as a missionary during his recuperation so that he doesnt have to live under the missionary norms while he is at home. He turned down the offer, he says he doesnt want to lose his focus, but from the way he talks about swimming pools and the girl he left, I can tell hes very tempted.
This change is looking like its going to be an awesome change. Four people are preparing to be baptized in February. These are people that are making their own efforts to prepare as well, Its awesome to be a part of this step in their lives. I will be writing some details about these people in the coming weeks.

I love you all very much and I hope yall have a great week.
