Dear Mother Dear,

Well I'm gonna be honest this week has probably been one of the toughest so far.  It is really frustrating, One week I'll feel like I'm making a lot of up hill progress and then in an instant I hit a wall and feel like I roll all the way back down to where I started.  Not to say that things were bad this week, there were actually some pretty cool mission story creating moments.

       Elder Kay's tooth has been bothering him ever since he came out.  The Zone Leaders councled us that it might be a good idea to stop by the dentist.  So with that brilliant advice we called a dentist that we knew was a member.  We went in and Elder Kay went back to get his mouth worked on and I just sat in the waiting room watching to make sure our bikes wouldn't get stolen.  Within ten minutes of boredom, the dentist came out and looked at me kinda weird and said,  "have you ever sucked spit before?".  He then explain that all of his assistants were out for lunch handed me a mask a pair of gloves and that little sucker thing that always flaps your cheeks and we went to work.  I can honestly say that I never thought that morning when I woke up that I would have my hands in my companions mouth.  It was the coolest though.  I got to take x-rays and harden some fillings and I learned a whole lot about dentistry and I would like to let you know that a little part of me wants to be a dentist now.  Just thought I'd share that.

      We have been working with a guy named Robert for a little over seven weeks now,  he has severe disabilities but is totally accountable.  We have been trying and trying to get him to church and just two days ago we did one better.  We got him to commit to a baptismal date! He is set for the 22nd of June!!  He has A LOT of things to overcome and things to change before that time comes but I'm excited to help him progress to that goal we've set!

      It rained this week.  I can't even explain riding a bike in monsoon like conditions, but I will say that it is one of the most exhilarating and intense things I've done so far.  I went through 3 pair of pants and probably ruined two ties one day cause they were all just soaked beyond all belief!!  I'm not complaining though, I LOVE the rain here! It makes everything soo green and beautiful!!

     That little girls letter was probably one of the most hysterical and sweet things I've ever read!!  It's crazy to think that school is almost out!!! It feels like not to long ago that I was stressing out about not graduating!! It's crazy how time flies!!  I love you soo very much and I can't wait to get that package!! Love you most!!

Dad-  I'm super jealous right now, and every fiber of my natural man wants to ask how Iron man 3 was, but I'll refrain.  Can you help me understand why people are so ignorant and hard headed.  It makes me sad when I try and share the love and hope that the gospel brings and get it thrown right back in my face.  I don't understand how people can be content with dwindling in unbelief.  I just realized how cool that just sounded... just saying.  Anyways, that you for your words of wisdom it really does help to read those e-mails every week so thank you for that! and just know that I love you.

Tyler-  I hope there is a letter for me in that package :) just kidding bud can't wait to hear from you!! Love you bro!!

Jessica- You should tell me about life!! Just about alll of your sillyness!!! love you much and miss you

I love and miss you all very much and can't wait to hear from you next week!!

Love Elder Sahagun
