All is well.


Thanks for the news, I appreciate it.
Everything with me is doing pretty great. To answer your questions from a week ago, there were several people, something like 12 other folks in the casa, although now they're all gone, they left on like Monday. I assume we'll be getting new people today or tomorrow. Who knows. 

And yes, I have received mail. So all is well, it's just taking a while. 

The temple (where I got to go again today) is pretty great, although they are still using the old film. 

This week, things have been a little chaotic, but still good. About halfway through the week, our hot water heater broke, because someone was climbing down from the roof, after, I believe, spending the night camping there, when he jogged a pipe or something. So we've been having cold showers, fun. That should get fixed pretty quickly though, hopefully. 

Also, I've been kind of sick this week--it started with a like one degree fever, and now I've just got a like lingering cough and stuffy nose, so that should also be pretty quick to resolve.

We've been doing more teaching, as usual, and I think we've been getting better, although there are still things I need to work on, obviously. For me especially, it's hard for me to just talk about what the person needs--it seems like I'm always wanting to, you know, teach the straight lesson rather than focusing on the individual person we're teaching. But I'm working on it, and I think I'm getting better. 

Also this week, we had a thing called TRC, which is where we do like one-off lessons with volunteers from around town. Except for us they didn't actually have volunteers, so we just taught other missionaries. It was pretty cool, actually.

Not much else has been going on, pretty much we've just been like doing the routine. Sometime soon is Mexican Independance Day, so the like buildings have been getting all decorated and stuff, which is pretty awesome.

About Sunday: I have not yet given a talk, although I have prepared three talks--I don't know if I told you guys this, but we find out in sacrament meeting whether we'll be giving a talk or not. We do have priesthood meeting, which is led by the branch presidency, and we have a sort of sunday school, it's in individual districts, and one companionship teaches each time. The order is kind of odd--Priesthood, "sunday school", and then sacrament meeting. We also have a class with the CCM presidency every sunday (with the whole CCM), and a DVD devotional, usually from one of the apostles. 

There have not been any culture classes, aside from just talking from the native elders, which we do.

Thanks so much for the news and love,


I love all you guys,
Peter
