News from Mark

Mark is currently serving in Tijuana, Mexico. He has had lots of success and met some very wonderful people. He lives in an apartment with his companion Elder Florez Gutzman and 2 other Elders. He's a little worried about his English or what's left of it since he mainly speaks Spanish.

Here's a post from his last email...

"Well. My story. today in the morning I left to go get my new companion and so i was going to bring my camera but I decided not to because I ... well i guess I just forgot. Anyway. We come home and my desk is like all messed up and i realize that... THEY BROKE IN A ROBBED ME!!! yeah. This morning. They simply opened the window and because it has bars on it they can't get in so they just reached in with like a crow bar and hauled my desk right over and grabbed all my money like... 10 bucks.. haha, and my camera.. : ( yeah. so I was all like ... NOOOO and then I see my little memory card sitting on the desk and i'm like.... oh thats right!! I replaced the card the other day and this one was sitting right here they didn't even grab it. haha. So I have all my pics and I only lost the baptizm pics from this saturday but thats fine i'll just have my old comp send me them. But now i'm without a camera. I kinda decided that I would just give it to the guy as a gift. I mean, If he needed it that bad I feel better giving it to him. I'm sure I can figure out how to get buy without it. I didn't lose pictures and i'll be sending the chip this week. I'll see what I can do with just the chips and copy pics from my comps. Its only like what 13 weeks or so. Money isn't really that big of a deal for us like it is for them. We can be humble and recognize that it comes and goes. Poor guy probably can't find a job right now. Its hard for people here."
