Week 39

Hey everybody, this week we got Jazmin to accept a fourth of July Bapismal date so the only thing I will need is red and blue shoes and I can celebrate our countries independence with all of you from the Baptismal faunt! Other than Jazmin we have two almost atheist Investigators who are actually very open and willing to pray, unlike most catholics, quite an interesting paradox. Any suggestions on how to help a single mother and a young man feel the that God exists?
I was super excited to hear this week that by thursday we will have a new member of the family. Be sure to tell him all about his best friend in Mexico. I will be his favorite as soon as he sees me haha 
This week it has been hot and a little bit slow as far as the progress of our investigators. Jazmin is becoming a golden investigator, she really has caught the Spirit of service and gives us so much food. I at Popusas this week at her house, this really good food from El Salvador with Pineapple chile vinegar on it. It was surprisingly a good combination. Also, I cant eat food now if it isnt spicy, spicy is essential for any flavor, anthing else just tastes so bland. There goes my american taste buds. I am really loving this area, Atencingo is just a really great place to find investigators because all the other churches here are really crazy, they charge you to get in, they treat their members really poorly, or they are just super corrupt and have crazy false traditions. 
 All the preachers drive new cars except us. I think that is why people like us. 
The big challenge of this week was not getting sick from all the times people gave us food. I ate way too much this week.&Also today I wore jeans, It is so weird to wear jeans after so long in dress pants, I absolutely hated it. Why are jeans supposedly so comfortable? They are so tight, and itchy and hot, Dress pants are better. 
I may sneak on here sometime on thursday to see my new nephew so send me pics as soon as you guys have them, I will just ask some member to look at you guys on facebook on their phone or have them go onto my email for me or something, I cant live with that surprise for 4 days. 
I love you all, the best hymn in spanish is number 50 and I cant write you all individually because I was eating homemade donuts and so I dont have much time. 
Try not to completely forget about me when the new baby is born and if I dont have emails from you guys next monday because of the bebecito I will go on a 6month email fast to punish you  Have a great week and enjoy your summer because I cant really go swimming and stuff. 
Love Elder Jacob Wilson
