dear: week twenty.

October marks a new month.
it also marks one more month down for a total of 7 months completed.
 this also means- only 17 more to go! yahoo!
is it that obvious i'm counting down the days?
of course, i want him out serving a mission-
but, that doesn't mean i can't miss him like crazy. 

crew's week in 5:
1. weather is changing; it's hard to keep up.
{hot in the day, freezing at night.}
2. Zone meeting in Metepec. "can't wait to see elder castro!"
3. received letters from good, random and old friends this week.
{"if only i was allowed to email them back!"}
4. interviews with the president. all is well!
5. struggles demand patience and courage.

dear: week nineteen.

this week crew was on the go-
which, left us with a short email and no pictures.
{sad!}
but, as usual, he assured us all is well...

glad to know he still has his sense of humor.
long or short letters,
we love you all the same crewswer.
but, that's not to say we are looking forward to a long email next week. ;)

dear: week eighteen.

...and just like that, week 15 is already at our feet.

looks like crew feels the exact same way:
