Querido Familia,

Thanks for writing me! This week has been crazy. In less than two weeks I will be in the mission field! I feel way underprepared, but I know that the Lord will help me grow. Spanish is coming along pretty well, and I´m having a lot of fun learning and practicing the language. I haven´t met this Christopher Nelson, but I will try to look out for him. Do you know when he got here? Oh, I sent the scripture last week, but maybe it didn´t go throught right. Sorry it´s taken so long! My Scripture is Alma 26:12.

This week has been good and bad. Bad being that about 50% of everone here has a stomach virus (including me as of yesterday) and it has been rough. Last night was one of the toughest nights of my life; now I know a little bit better how Brandon felt getting sick from the street tacos! Today I feel a little bit better, and I should be good by tomorrow or thursday. The poor doctors at the infermaría have been kept very busy over the past few days. My awesome language teacher Hermana Vidrio is also a doctor and brought me and another guy in my district with the virus some hydration drinks and stuff. It was super nice of her and they´ve helped a ton!

Sounds like it´s been a fun week for the family, Riley is going to be a great Hermana! Thanks for sending me those pictures, I love seeing you guys! Was that Evelyn in the picture with Grandma? If so, how is she doing? And Grandma, how is she doing with the surgery? I hope her knees will be good soon! Sorry I don´t have any pictures today, I haven´t been able to take any this week. I will try to get some for next week.

Well, I´ve got to go take some medicine, keep being an awesome family! Next time I write you will be the last time in the CCM! Can´t wait to hear from you next week! Adios.

Con amor,
Elder Jenson
