The week went by fast! And we don't have much to show for it. Earlier in the week my companion, who hasn't been feeling well, finally called the doctor and he said she had to come in. So we got to visit the temple grounds last week to see the doctor. And all he said was she either needs vitamins or has a parasite. Exciting, I know. But we had to go to a medical laboratory type place twice last week so she could have tests done. Hopefully they'll get the results quickly and send them to the doctor. I'm hoping it's just vitamins she needs! Everyone here who has a parasite says they are the worst and really hard to get rid of. But we'll find out soon enough!

     We have some investigators that are a bit interesting. The first time I met them was a few weeks ago when we came out of an appointment and the wife was out there, as if waiting for us. And if that wasn't enough, she pretty much dragged us to her house to meet a friend who wanted to talk to us. My companion did not look excited and I felt weird about it too but we went and taught the Restoration to the friend and the wife and husband. The friend is a 65-year-old lawyer, who is single—he's always careful to mention that detail—and interested in knowing more. Well we taught him once and didn't want to go back but they found us again in the street and we made an appointment. The second time we brought our district leader Martinez and Elder Reyes to teach with us. My companion is a bit cautious where the investigators are concerned and told the Elders not to give any personal details. Well Elder Reyes is from Mexico and when they started asking him questions he got a bit flustered and after saying he is from Oaxaca, they asked what city. He proceeded to say he didn't remember and then changed the topic. I burst out laughing and had to start coughing to cover it up. Anyways, we had our lesson and quickly left. We'll have to wait and see if they progress or not. 

     I don't have much else to say, just that I love you all and hope you are enjoying the autumn! It's finally chilly enough here that I can use a light jacket in the morning and evening, but it's still hot during the day.

     Remember to read your scriptures, pray and always go to church! Just think about all the blessings you are receiving! I love you all!!

Have a fantastic Monday!

Love,
