The Best Meal in Mexico City!!!!!

Hiking!!!!




Chili's with President Bulloch, love the ribs!!!!



Hey Fam!
How´s things? Sounds like O´Connor is doing great. That must be exciting. Things here are good. We had a good week. Work like always. On Wednesday we went with President Bulloch and his wife to check the houses of the missionaries in the zone and then after we went out for a little lunch. Can you baby back ribs? Yeah, he took us to Chili´s! We were just blown away. It had been forever since I had eaten food like that. I´m sure I´ll miss a few things from here after the mission, but man our food is so delicious! We were just in heaven. I´ll be sending the pictures in a second. And then on Sunday we had some amazing baptisms. Floro Sanchez, the dad of that wife and kids we baptized a couple weeks ago, and then this kid Rafa and Irvin. Rafa is 20 and Irvin is 15. It was an amazing baptism. Rafa and his family and been getting super trashed by all their uncles and cousins and neighbors, but his mom told us that if there are so many challanges than it must be true. I learned a lot from them this week. They were just a huge example to me of what our attitude should be when the going gets tough. Rafa was actually thinking about getting married to his girlfriend, but then she told him that she would dump him if he got baptized... but he didnt care. He´s got one of the biggest testimonies I´ve seen in a convert and already wants to go on a mission. The things the Lord blesses us with are truly amazing. All the work is so worth it. To see the way the Gospel changes lives, there is no better joy. I love you guys and hope all is well. Let me know if you ever want anything cool from Mexico. : ) Love, Rees P.S. Mom, thanks for the package, I made my own candy droor like we used to have at home! The other missionaries raid it like my friends used to do. Love you.
