This week!

Hey guys!!!!!

So we had a great week!

I feel a little bit obligated to talk to you guys a bit more about my companion. His name is Elder Sanchez. He's a fairly tall, skinny guy from Tijuana who loves basketball, especially the Cavs. He plays really well. Every single morning, we play basketball during our half hour of exercise. It's keeping me in shape and motivated to get up on time which is great. He's 20 years old, has 17 months in the mission (we actually go home together), and he's in his fourth transfer here in this area.

Our area is pretty sweet. We're in a medium size ward that's directly in the middle of Cuautla center. Our area is really cool. We have about 4 small little colonies, but there are so many people here it's crazy. There's tons of work. Our ward is really good. We have our services in the stake center, and we live a block away, which is just so convenient. We live above the house of our bishop. He's really awesome. They give us breakfast every morning while we study, they let us use their washing and drying machine, and they help us out so much. It's such a huge blessing.

Our week was fun. We went to the temple and did a session as a mission. It was stressful but fun, and being inside the temple is so edifying and spiritual. It was such a blessing. This week, a seventy is coming to the mission. We're really excited about it. He's going to come and give several talks. His name is elder Piper. He's the president of the area Mexico.

We have some good families that we're teaching as well. Everything is going good. I'm gonna attach a photo of my comp and I, our house, some views of the area, and eating pizza today with the zone.

Love,

Elder William Jacob Long
