so...i leave   the  28th, my companion and i are getting along swimmingly, we have a drunk investigator right know who we are trying to help stop drinking he is 54 years old and just got divorced but i have a lot of hope, his name is David, has three kids and he is a pretty spiritual guy. my other investigator is melene who thinks its all true but she just complains on not having enough faith to get baptized. but I'll find out Wednesday if she went to church and had a good experience. an elder has joined my comp and i, his name is elder leatham he is also from California but he was have visa issues but his whole district  got reassigned and he had to stay back for health reasons. oh dad! i forgot to tell you i finished the book of mormon in 29 days..or less. i thought you would be proud:) but i have been working on the  b.o.m. in spanish and english but focusing on the new testament and i just started corithians too and just read roman s 8 and loved it!!  but please keep the talks coming i love them! you really are an inspired man! but about mothers day, the mtc just can't facilitate 2,500 missionaries all trying to call the same day so i'm sorry but  you hear from me on the 28th at the airport so don't fret. ummm oh i NEEED my patriarchal blessing please get that to me!! Ashley said to share a spiritual expierence but really i can't start to begin to choose one to share, they literally happen every day. i have amazing teachers and leaders and talks, devo, films, that are all sooo great that it is just constant. i feel my spanish learning slowing and thats not good, i'm not even close to ready! and elder messed up his hips yesterday playing basketball, but i don't have to worry about that since my  physical exercise is pretty much four square or volleyball in the gym, or horse shoes, bocce, ladder golf, or passy flicky thing when i am on the field. it is pretty great. but over all the most spiritual thing is  the power of revelation, and how often that occurs when  you are searching for it, and are in the right place, our new group of elders are amazing! they are all so powerful an d energetic, all are heading to different parts of mexico. yes one is going to t.j. daniel. umm but really over all the work is great. i love it so much.  love you all! bye!
