Hey Everybody! Just another normal week down here in Northern Mexico! haha 4th of July was cool. We had exchanges. I was with Elder Joj. Who doesnt speak english. Which is fine becasue I speak spanish. We had a long day. We biked about 5 miles out and his tire popped. So we walked our bikes back home, and then we walked 6 miles back out! Worked all day, skipped lunch and dinner, walked back home, and finally ate around 9. then exchanged back and we got on the roof of the other Elders' apartment and watched the fireworks. Never watched fireworks with just 3 other guys.. haha. Saturday was FULL of service. At 7 am, we went to go help the sisters clean one of their investigators backyard. Then at 11 we went to go help a member move furnature around. then at 1, we went and helped a member install 3 new doors on a house. which went to about 5. then we ran home, literally. and got ready for dinner at 6. we got in a spitball war with the family. haha It was super fun. Then we went to the swap meet. we walked around for about an hour, talked to like 7 people and handed out 3 Libro de Mormons. We got a new ward mission leader yesterday. thats my third one in this area already. haha Do I really stink that bad? Alright I think Thats all i've got for this week. Love you all! stay safe! have a good week! -Elder Alston
