Week 42

I got sent back to the city!! My new companion is Elder Peñaloza from Tijuana and we are the zone leaders of Zona Valsequillo, the wealthiest zone in the mission. It is a huge change, the weather is a lot nicer here in puebla and it actually gets a little chilly at night. My sweaters are getting lots of use again along with my long sleeve shirts. My new house is super fancy compared to my last one and I have an oven so I will probably make cookies real soon again. I havent heard if Jazmin got baptized in Atencingo but she should have been baptized on Saturday. I have been really humbled and am really grateful for my new opportunity to serve but I am not a fan of the new schedule. I dont get to sleep quite as much and the other day we had a meeting that started at 6 am. I had to wake up at 4 to get showered and leave by 5 to get there on time. That sucked. But my zone is really great, and the Elders and Sisters here are working really hard and are really great. Also we have real american restaurants in my new area, burger king, carls jr. krispy kreem doughnuts, dominos pizza. Its almost like I am back home haha. But I have to be careful not to waste all my money because It goes really fast in the city. Last week I got a haircut in atencingo because it is hot there but here in the city I wish my hair was long again because now I am getting cold. In july. In mexico. This is ridiculous, I am going to die when I go back to Utah. 
All my friends are doing great in their missions, and Elder Scott still writes me to tell me he stil isnt married and next month he will be living in provo so find him and take him out to dinner in august.
My suit is getting abused now because I have to wear it alot more as zone leader so I might need to get a new one soon but there is a really fancy italian clothing store here so I am not worried and I will look super cute in a european cut suit. 
This week we had an investigator in church named daniela casanova and she is doing great. She said she really liked sacrament meeting but had to leave after and couldnt stay for the other hours (like one of my brothers I know..) But everything is great and I am feeling really happy and healthy and ready to serve the people of puebla. pic of my haircut in carls jr eating real american fast food. haha I ate a breakfast burrito.... and the view from my window
Love you all 
Elder Jacob Wilson
