Some additional information via John's letter...

My companion is from peru! He can speak a Little bit of english, so it’s a Little bit easier to communicate!! Hes been in the mision for 6 months! Hes a convert of about four years! he is twice as cool as me btw!! He played soccer for a university in peru, so hes the real deal!! My area is called Zumpango!! Its great the people are amazing!! You might think they are poor, but they really don’t care! They are happy no matter what!!

Still looks happy! He should fit right in...

Never knew Mexico City was so large!
