I'm doing awesome here in the old pueblo with Elder Terriquez! I
really do like the peaceful villages here in Mexico. Unlike Cancun, it's a
lot more chill because the streets are about half the size (more than
half of them being dirt) and the people are either working or just
hanging out at home. Elder Terriquez and I are getting on really well
because of how alike we are. He's from a state of Mexico called Sinora
and just finished high school before he came, but he wants to study
medicine like me. He has 9 months on the mission and is waiting for his
girlfriend to get her own call soon.

| Reyna's baptism |
Our baptism was pretty awesome. The girl that got baptized is named
Reyna, and is 25 years old and teaches kindergarten. Shes from an
inactive family, but thanks to her new RM boyfriend she found her way
back to the church again! They had me share my story of my own baptism
which I haven't thought about in a long time. Ha it was way awesome.
SHOUT OUT this week for my Grandma 'Due who sent me
an awesome birthday card that I just got. THANK YOU! Thank you everyone
for all your love, support, and prayers. Right back at ya!
I hope everyone had a good fast Sunday and you are all working towards spiritual goals that will strengthen your testimony. FASTING IS THE BEST!
Love,
Elder Shurtliff
