Dear Family,
This week has been kinda different I have been reading in the book of Mormon in Spanish. It's been hard, but I want to finish it by Mother's day. I am in 2 Nephi 5 but I'm pushin. I also have been working on the word of wisdom.*
So I need my pants to be hemmed to 34 if your thinking of sending them back soon.... That would be great. This week was my last week with Elder Taylor. He is great. I love him lots... also the senior couple the Rhodes just left back to Utah. They will be coming to see you I think. They are great. Give them a buzz in a few days. I told them you want to take them out to eat.

So this is Elder Saucedo. I love him. He was my ZL I made him a promise (I'm going to import him if he has a visa.) I might need some help on that later, but I love him and I will keep my promise to him.
This has been a great transfer. I had some great goals. I made some good progress. I might not have hit them all at 100%, but I got a lot of them really good. I feel great from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I really feel like we-- as in me and Elder Taylor put our best foot forward. I even made it to Elder Taylor's favorite companion so far, and he has been out for a year and a half. That has been one of my goals for my mission, to be all my companions' favorite companion
I hope to improve my progress in the coming transfer. I was thinking yesterday about how success comes. I realized that I do a fair amount of tripping at the finish line. I thought how I fall because of a lack of humility. I need to see the room I have for improvement, even when I feel on top of everything. Most of our failures come from over looking the little things that we need to do to remain on top of it all.
My mail didn't send the way I would have liked it to--sorry. I had a page more of great type. Just a miss send. The thing I had said was beware of pride.
Love,
Elder Pinegar
