WOW my life has changed a lot this past week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First off we are opening area in the libertad sur. I was in this same stake my second area anIi am right in downtown Puebla and the best part......................We have a Walmart in our area hahaha it is flat our heaven there and I can buy lots of food and bread and all that good stuff. We just got done with a zone activity and we watched Meet the Mormons and I must say, it was pretty sweet even f it was in spanish but i could understand the majority of it.

The second big news is..................I am district leader here hahahahahahahaha! I kinda expected it but I absolutely love it and guess who is in my district????  Elder Law and his companion and 8 sister missionaries hahahhahahahahahahha!   This is the biggest district I've been in and I feel like I'm not a district leader but instead president of the relief society!!!  I am just glad I learned alot about patience in my first area because i am sure i will get to use a lot of it here. But my life really has changed, before this change i was always in bed by like nine thirty  just because I am so dang tired.  But now I am on the phone ALLLLLL night every night til ten thirty. Yesterday i was on the phone from eight to ten thirty in the night but i love it a lot and I'm hoping I can be a good leader for them.. We are in the kind poor part of our district, but the other parts of my district is where president lives so you can say we are kinda in the rich area.

So my new companion is Elder Zamora and he is from California and can speak perfect Spanish and English so that's pretty fun, but I'm always telling him i don't want to speak English because i know my Spanish will suffer. He has four months in the mission. The one bad thing about district leader is that lots of times you have the kinda badder companions or either a really young companion and I have both. I really hope i can have patience with him because sometimes i just wants to throw him to the ground haha.   He's just kinda a girl and i know why because he told me he comes from a family with 4 girls and him so he never had those big brothers to beat on him. It's just kinda hard because he sleeps til 8 and then takes forreverrrrrr getting ready and besides that...walking in the sun for more than ten minutes really hurts him hahahaha. But its all good and i know ill be grateful for this experience because i will learn alot.

So we are opening this area again, i am so glad i've done it before because now i realize its just going to take time and you're going to be lost a lot and for probably the first 2 or 3 weeks your numbers probably won't be very good.  At least this time the elders left us an updated carpeta, we dont really have any great investigators but hey they are out there and we will find them. The main difference from this area from my last is that there are no people on the streets.  My last area was just crazy and people were everywhere but here its like a zombie village.

Our ward is flat out interesting. Remember that one time we went to sacrament in the hospital when grandma call was sick, ya thats how i fell hahha.   This ward is so old, serious probably half the ward is over 60 haha and a third in wheelchairs it's flat out funny.  They are a good ward the problem is that they want to help us, but it's just hard to come with us when they are in wheelchairs, but hey on the brightside we have a sweet ward mission leader unike my last area (where he was inactive) so I'm pretty stoked about it.

Thats about it family. Life is great and i just love seeing the growth in me and seeing little miracles everyday. Oh and by the way, this week i got the first package you sent me.  AFTER FOUR MONTHS. It was so great and i ate it all in the first night. It was BOMB. I love you guys so much!
