Serra. my comp is good, he came from an area where he says it was really hard to teach, so he was kinda down on himself desanimado, (nao sei falar en ingles) (he does not know how to speak English) yeah im exercising. im trying to get in at least 20 minutes everyday. but its tough...my LZ is basically the assistant....theres only one in the mission right now, and my LZ is his comp....in the conf de zona ontem, ele que estava ensinando (in the zone conf. yesterday he was teaching with the AP) and stuff with elder Ballard (not the apostle haha) the ward mission leader is good, he just got married and he doesnt have a whole lot of time since he got back from the mish, so hes good, we have our weekly meeting at least, which is more than in most area haha. yeah i got he pics! thanks! love ya pops!
