There´s a really cool palace with some gardens called "La Granja" here and it was super cool. We went there last P-Day and took some model shots. :)

Hola familia,

Well there isn´t a whole bunch for me to say because we SKYPED yesterday!!! :) Thank you it´s always fun to talk to everybody and see what´s going on in good ´ol Utah. 

The weather is heating up here and it is definitely allergy season here. On Saturday it looked like it was snowing pollen and I have definitely been feeling the effects. The reason I was wearing my glasses is because I have never had allergies this bad before in my life. Saturday was the worst, Sunday was alright and today I sneeze about every 2 minutes or less. I´m going to go buy some allergy medicine today and see if that helps me out. My other glasses are good but the perscription is a little stronger and they hurt my eyes so I´ve just stuck to my good old Grandpa Glasses. 

Other than that life here´s pretty good. Elder Dyer and I are feeling extra motivated so hopefully this fire will last the whole transfer. A lot of our investigators don´t really have potential of moving on so I think we´re going to start dropping pretty soon and really kick up the finding. The work here is really slow and it makes you feel like a crumby missionary, but luckily we laugh through everything and we´re more grateful for the lessons and people we do find. 

OK feelings part. Haha I´m glad to hear that you guys like hearing about my feelings. :) We´re both healthy, happy and me I´m suffering from a severe case of allergies so hopefully this medicine will work and we can really get to work. At times I´m a little discouraged and others I´m super pumped to get to work. The thing is just finding little things to keep me happy. When people are rude to us we just have to laugh about it and then go to the next one. 

Sorry this email´s short but we talked yesterday and I can´t think of anything new to tell you guys.Thanks for all of the support. I love you guys and it´s always good to see that things are semi calm back home! ;)
