Hola!
Happy to say I am feeling much better. This week was still awful. But Im feeling a lot more postiive about this week. Tomorrow is Mexicos independance day so well be having a hard time finding people this week but hopeuflly all goes well. We had our baptism on Saturday. Beautiful that we had 3 baptisms and the dad was able to baptize them! But other than that the whole program was awful. Everything went awful. Our mission leader guy in our ward is so busy with his work so the program was awful. there were kids banging on the glass during the baptisms and there were hardly any of the 200 members that are active in our ward. Ridiculous. Makes me so mad. Just so you know be active in the ward! I wish I had been more now. And feed those awesome missionaries as often as you possibly can! We ate with pres george and his wife last week and i think it helped me feel a little better. He is so great. Hna. George showed me her quilts she brought with her. She has a quilting machine so she was telling me i can send her my quilts one day to quitl ha. That and president George said if Tyrel doesnt wait for me hes crazy. So Im feeling pretty confident about that situation ha. Anyways. Other than 3 baptisms it was a pretty rough week. We had people come and check our apartment for president george this week to see if it was clean and sucha nd they made us take down all of our pictures. Taht was pretty sad. It feels a lot less homey now. But wow, i was realizing the other day how much more comfortable I am here. And people in the ward I think are starting to notice that I am a little more myself now that I can comunicate a little. Ive got a million things I want to try and do today so I have to cut it a little short.

 Love you tons and thank you for your advice. Cambios were today and I didnt change so I am determined to have a better 6 weeks with my companion. It was my 4 months in the mission yesterday and she gave me the nicest present. A ton of peopple have this shirt here that they gave out during the world cup and I always say that I want one. Well she gave me hers. She said she is a mexican so she doesnt need it lol. Anyways, it was very sweet and we really do have our good days. I just need to be patient with this next 6 weeks and do my best. I feel like I have been slacking so much and it is very disheartening when we go home at night. Looking forward to a much better week. Love you tons. Have an amazing week and Ill talk to you soon.Now if you ahve a second!


Love, Lexie
