Jessica had two baptisms her first Sunday in Mexico. She said "Im in the strictest and highest baptizing misión every companionship should have a baptisim a week". Wow! She also said they don't go house to house because there are gates up so you can't get to the front door, and they have so many investigators that they don't need to. What kind of mission is this? Totally different from my mission in Japan. She is so lucky and obviously "the field is white all ready to harvest".
Looks like Jess and her companion came down with the stomach flu. But for having the flu she seems upbeat. I told her it was that time of year. Each one of us here just got over something a cold or whatever. She is out there all the time so she is bound to catch something, especially in a new area. But she looks so happy! Which of course makes me so happy. 
Asked her how her shoes were hanging in there with all the rain they have been getting. It's their rainy season right now. She said send more crocs she loves them. They have holes in them so the water drains out and they are foamy so they don't get ruined. It seems like it's a little chilly, every picture she has a sweater on. Send crocs, sweaters and waterproofing, and she's still thinking of more things for me to send. I haven't sent a package yet but I've heard it's hard to get thru customs. I guess we better give it a try.
This is Cucu he is Adan's grandfather. Adan was baptized a week before Jess got there. So they have been visiting Adan. I guess Cucu fell asleep while they were visiting. They would yell "otra" which means other and he would wake up and change the channel on the TV. Poor guy, just trying to rest and these girls keeping bugging him. It makes me so happy to see her out making friends with all these great people. She has said several times that she loves the people. I think that is the most important part of being a missionary is loving them. She's doing a great job!
"we are teaching this Little family they should be baptized next week they live in a tiny shack but have a great spirit and the prettiest view!" I think I would live in a shack if I had this view. How beautiful the area looks. Unfortunately for her knee it looks hilly. I asked her how her knee was, but I didn't get an answer. Not sure what that means. I'm so proud of Jessica, she had me worried at first but it looks like she is working and forgetting herself. I miss her but the time is going by so fast. Next week will be two months. I can't believe it. I now live for Monday's, I worry all week long until I get to email with her on p-day even if she only has an hour. After that I'm walking on cloud nine. Love her so much.
