A misson to Mission

hello from mission texas!
it is hot, muggy, and windy here. but... i have now lived in my apartment for 6 days and have YET to see a roach. it is an upgrade for sure. although there are some ants...
things are nice here. my area is about 5 times bigger than it was in laredo so there is lots of ground to cover. and the members here are awesome. we have a food appointment every day this week, and we even had to tell some people no and schedule them for next week. my companion said that sometimes they would get like 4 in one day before because her old companion could never say no. ha. crazy. my companion is great. her name is sister call and she is from washington state. we have fun together. we have very similar personalities and she knows lots of oldies music so we sing a lot together. she's also very organized, which is the complete opposite of me, so she's very good at scheduling our time and we get a lot done. i love it.
we're teaching some pretty cool people here. lots of spanish. a lot more than in laredo actually, and we were speaking it lots up there too. everybody here speaks it though and our area is on the border. right at the international bridge. it's pretty cool. the fence is super small from the border and i feel like people can cross it super easily. and they do. hmm... what else. it's still south texas, it's still super hot, there's still lots of delicious mexican food to eat, and lots of orange trees. i will have more next week hopefully, when i get to know the people better.
xoxo
