Dear Mom and everyone,
So, this was a fun week. Monday, we had an FHE with some friends of members, I taught everyone how to make pizza. I accidently doubled the recipe so it came out with a lot of crust, but I liked it.
Tuesday was interesting. We had to be at the stake center early to lead the transfers. Everyone left and got to their areas well. Then in the afternoon we went to talk to a pastor that we had accidently contacted, (his house is the chapel). So, we talked to him and he thinks he knows a lot but he just knows the basic. It's weird to see the other beliefs and how other churches understand the Bible. Then we took shelter from the rain in the carwash/house of some members.
Wednesday, we had leadership council. We talked about the self-reliance program and how to use it to help investigators. We also talked about how to help the other missionaries obey the mission norms.
Thursday, we started early and went to the 8 o’clock session in the temple. It was really cool to go back to the temple. After the temple we had our conference. We talked about putting goals and plans, and to work with the youth more. I learned I had a lot to change. After that we applied what we learned and went to work. We started getting to know the youth of the ward so they should start to help up out more.
Friday, we went to train a new district leader so we talk to him most of the morning. Then in the night we went to visit some references from a member with the member. We got to know 4 more people that we are going to start teaching this week. Oh, and we ended my comps birthday by buying sushi. Yes, we found a really good and cheap sushi place in our area, and I made my comp an addict.
Saturday, President had called my comp to invite him to dinner for his birthday. So, we had a few lessons and then we went to President's house. They gave us beef milanesa, mashed potatoes and rice. It was tasty.
Today Elder Ledesma got sick from dinner last night to we spent most of the day in the house and that's why I'm writing so late. 5 de Mayo isn't really celebrated here. The real Independence Day is 15 of Sept. So, they don't do much. 5 de Mayo was when the army of one state, Puebla, beat the French army in a little way battle thing.
Well, I love you all

Mitchell has figured out a way to communicate with us during the week without cheating and using the computer to email not on pday. He takes a picture of a note and it automatically comes through on the camera app. Smart boy we have!
Mitchell wishing his dad a Happy Birthday because he forgot to do it in his email. I love it!
