Sup homies, here is a recap I am serving in Torreon Mexico, Senderos, it is a very large area, with really fancey subdivisions and really ghetto ranchos. My companion right now is elder Parra, he is from bolivia. Man i didn´t take any notes on my week. I´ll just talk about how i´m doing in the general sence. the work has been going well, but i feel a little dissapointed in how i´m doing. I´ve just been feeling out of it this week. And i know my comp needs me to be on top of things and feeling right, the members and investigators also need me to be on top of it. Let me talk about spanish.

And i looked out the window and there was this big very green hill, it was really pretty. And there were a bunch of people walking down the hill and they all looked really happy. And i opened the window and yelled out to them, "I love you all!" and I laughed. hna iris man let me tell yall about hna iris, she has had a tough life.
