Hey how is everyone?

This week has been good. We had alot of people in church, well 7. 4 came for the second time and we have a baptism this week. The work it is starting to go again, I feel really happy about that. We have people progressing to so that is good. If the same people keep progressing we should baptize 5 people this transfer which will be really good!

So Thanksgiving here sucked because it doesn't exist haha! They don't have it here but it's OK. I like when holidays pass cuz it means I only have to miss one more and then I'll be home and we can party and have crazy Thanksgivings again not boring ones with out me hahaha!!!

Today was transfers but I didn't get transferred and neither did my companion so we will be together for 6 more weeks. That is fine, we get along good and don't have any problems. Our district leader got transferred so now we have Elder Huchim. He was my second companion, the one I loved so much and that helped me so much. It was cool to see him again, we went to get him at the bus station which was cool.

I am still losing weight, I'm going to send you some pics in regular cloths today so you guys can tell me if I look skinnier.

I don't have alot to say, this week was kinda slow and nothing cool happened. Oh, I'm such a freak here I swear!!! We walked by some kids and they were talking about how big I am and one of them said "I think he is bigger then big foot!" I felt like such a freak. I have not gotten taller I have just lost weight and look a little stronger now. But those freaking kids said I'm bigger then big foot! My comp thought it was so funny and keeps saying he is going to start a circus and have me in it. He said he will charge 5 pesos for a picture and 15 pesos to touch me. He acts like an announcer and says all this stuff about how big I am. It's funny, I just kinda feel like a freak. It's because the people here are way shorter, Ross is average or tall here so think what I am.

I'm excited to have 9 months behind me this week. It's kinda cool to think I have the same time on my mission as it takes to have a baby hahaha! I don't know why that's cool, I guess it's just something to compare time to.

This week really nothing cool has happened its been boring so no cool story's. I guess that is it. Love you all, hope your all doing good.

Love Elder Fackler
