I think it’s funny that when you have a problem the whole family suddenly writes you, but that’s alright with me. Maybe I should be more dramatic so you send me more letters --hahaha jk. Anyway this week was a whole lot better we didn’t have any real drama going on. We had a zone activity and it was great. I think we really got to know each other and we are getting some sort of union in the zone. I saw east missionaries talking to northwest missionaries and it was great! I really had a good time. We didn’t like a speed dating activity that was pretty cool to get to know each other. We played volleyball -- it was great and made hamburgers. I was starting to get stressed about buying everything having money, and what not but then I came up with a great idea. Delegate! So we told the district leaders to go and buy certain stuff for the activity and it worked out great. I think everyone liked it. I did and I got some spikes down and a few blocks I decided that I really like volleyball. Everything is going well and we had better numbers this week. Anyway I don’t have much time to write but that’s alright. With this area we don’t really have any investigators, but we are working to find some. The ward is working somewhat to find investigators for us. Things are going well. Thanks for all the support, I love you guys.

Sick again! Who knows what I ate on Thursday. On Friday night I puked at about 7:30pm it was terrible. There was a dog nearby because here in Mexico dogs run wild like wild deer in Missouri in the summer. Actually I think there are probably more dogs. So this stray dog came over to smell the throw up and I ended up puking again but this time all over the dogs face -- I puked on a dog!  Anyway the vomit was followed by a bunch of other problems and my stomach wouldn’t accept anything for about 24 hours --not even water. I ended up vomiting like 4 times that night, and once Saturday night. Now I feel a lot better, and I’m eating again. Weird thing they always send you to the doctor here and I hate it. So on Saturday I went to the temple doctor and he gave me some medicine. I took it reluctantly --I’m not really a fan of medicine. I had an allergic reaction to it and I busted out in rashes and it itched terribly! It was a nightmare so we ran to the pharmacy and on the way called the doctor and he gave us another medicine to buy for the allergy. it was terrible. I think the medicine here in Mexico just stinks. I stopped talking his pills and within an hour the rash had gone down. It was terrible --I don’t trust doctors anymore except for Landon I guess. hahahaha. Sounds like he’s all set and ready to be a tiger! So they just sent me my letter asking me what airport I wanted to fly into. I hope you want St.Louis, because that’s what I put.  Don’t worry about me I’m doing better. Tomorrow we are going to have a zone class and see if we can get some elders to have more success. Some have problems with new rules coming from the east mission and others just can’t find new investigators so their numbers are terrible. When I got here there was nobody either. We have had to go to all extents to find people to teach. But we are doing better now, but we have to get them to church. I was sick on Saturday and Saturdays a pretty key day in the week. But that’s about it my times about up thanks for everything!!!

I got it. How are you doing. listen up! I have never met you but I feel like I have heard enough about you that I can talk to you as if I had met you. Elder Fox won’t be the same boy that you sent on the plane but be patient and support the trials. You’re in the fire right now. Let the lord refine you. That’s what happens in the mission you run out of options so all you have left is pray and pray....and pray some more. Some people don’t change as fast as you want them too. But they do change. One elder in the zone was my comp and when he was he was terrible. I couldn’t stand him and he couldn’t stand me. We were terrible comps. But now we get along great and he is actually very obedient. It’s basically a miracle. Love them that hate you—It’s hard but its necessary. But work it out and try not to complain the ones that complain always seem to make it worse for them. I knew an elder that put in his agenda that his companion was the best companion in the whole mission. and I knew and had heard stories about his companion he was one of the worst in the mission and the elder knew in its just the principle of not complaining and counting your blessing. Everyone’s got them they just need to be counted. Have a good one. Thanks for the letters and support.
