By the way, "Los Choneros" as they call us, are getting changed. I'm going to Villa Hermosa,

Elder Reyna will be in Buanaventura (middle of nowhere with polygamist exmormons)

Elder Rodriguez (with glasses) will be training in Juarez

Elder Nelson (the white kid) will be training here in Ascension.

We got to know each other really well and had a lot of fun together.

So yup, I was kind of hoping to pass the next 6 months here in ascension, but I guess it just wasnt meant to be :(

Happy Birthday Mom!!

I hope you have a wonderfully fun celebration! And just know that I'll be here celebrating your birthday too!

Haha,  I showed my comp a pic of megan and jenny at a school dance and ever since he's been asking for their email addresses! I haven't to anything yet, but just warning you that if they were to come down to mexico they could marry just about whomever they wanted to! 

Funny story, I was walking down the street the other day and I got a strange craving for home made pretzels. Just letting you know that even this far away from home your baking is still the best

Yeah, the whole politics deal is kind of messy right now. Guess what? I can vote from here! I don't think I will, but I could! I personally consider myself too uneducated as of now to make such a decision (I don't actually hear a lot about politics other than complaints). But yes, Grandma always includes spiritual insights :)

Haha, as for packages... I don't know. Food? cookies? A USA flag!

Don't have much time to write, we had an activity today that was super cool! I'll send you and dad some pics.
