E-mail from February 28th!!

whatsup everybody.  mexico is pretty nuts this week lol.  if you havent somehow heard on the news by now, about 20 people got killed in my area. its way crazy but i totally feel peace about being here and i know that the Lord protects his servants.  if you want to read a scripture that conferts me about it Doctrine and Covenants 35 verses 13 and 14.  way  way cool.  i was walking with my companion at about 8:30 at night on saturday and all of a sudden we heard gunshots from the other street it was pretty surreal.  but kinda felt like we were in a movie yanno?  but its good here. no investigators yet.  but i know that well find someone soon.  there are some really cool families here for sure i really like the people here a lot they are really supportive and feed us really well and what not.  its amazing how much respect you get down here as a missionary, even from the  non members.  every one on the streets refers to us as brothers, its really cool.  not too much news really though.  no investigators or anything so far.  its hard to commit people to appointments and going to church  down here cuz a lot of people in mexico will just tell you they want to hear your message and then blow you off when you come back for a return appointment.  so ya. 
 
Spanish is going great.  its hard but im understanding more and more.  people talk friggin fast down here its a joke.  but every day i can understand more and more, day by day yanno?  i hope all is going well at home though.  at times i miss it.  but im having a really great time here.  i love it.  not too much more than that though.  really this week has been pretty slow refering to investigators and what not.  so i hope that this week can be  a lot more productive.  if any of you dont have my address still its:

so if any of you guys want to write me thatd be sick..  i miss you all and hope its all going good. this week flew by.  i cant believe how fast it went.  i know that in a few days itll be 2 years if you know what i mean.  thats how fast time is flying.  time really flies when youre working.  but ya anyways i hope everyones doing good on the other end and i look forward to getting letters from people!  miss you all a ton and dont worry about me mexico is treating me good as crazy as it sounds.  i have peace about everything!  love you all!
 
Love Elder Day
