So for the most part, all is going good here in the polvorines and we're puttin in work to make sure that it keeps on progressing. We ended up dropping a lot of investigators, and we're currently looking for new ones. We've found a few, but the area is a little bit tough, but nothing to hard to handle! Anyways, I'll let ya know what's going on with my last phone call home! WOW but that's a good thing right?! haah Anyways keep it chill! I'm getting along great with my companion who also has the same time in the mission as me! We're doing out best here and trying very hard to be diligent!

*We asked Alex to give his brother some words of encouragement on getting a better education by taking an honors course. Thanks Alex! 
 Note from Mom:  Paying attention in English honors would have saved me a lot of time editing your letters--just sayin' :) 

**Alex's brother, Spencer recently argued about why he had to take English honors and it was like having the same conversation with Alex when he was going into 10th grade. Luckily there are 2 teachers and Spencer opted for a different teacher than Alex had.
