things are great here. my companion and i get along great. we like alot of the same music, even though he dosnt understand the words, he runs in the mornings and we work hard together. ill send a picture of us. tell joan to feed the missionaries. how are her girls? they all look bigger in the picture. the house looks like its making progress as well. that is exciting. the work is going well. two of our coolest families that we want to baptise didnt come to church. it was disapointing. but a few other came. and two others we are going to baptise as soon as we can get them married. its realy hard to get people married here. in the states, a bishop can do it, but here, we need a birth certificate that has been printed within the last year, blood tests for all the kidsand a few other things.
one of my converts comes every other week because she has to work. the rest of them come fairly reguarly. hector is still coming. hes got a problem with depression. he told us that he used to cover it up with his alcohole and cigarets and drugs, but with out those things he feels depressed more. we are going to teach him about family history today, so that he has another hobby, and apostles have said that geneology helps us know who we are. so we think that will help him. my spanish is fine, i just cant speak when im even a little nervous, so i need to be very relaxed to be able to comunicate.
i wish i could have heard your talk. you should ask the bishop if you can talk my first week home so that i can hear you. hows sam? and val?
mom you should do an iron man with dan and me. our bishop is great. there was a problem withthe piping for months, and the first week with the new bishop, he gave us the keys we needed and the money to clean the systerna to fix everything. and he realy wants to help us out with alot of things. hes a good guy who want things to hapen.
love you mom. send some pictures of the family. bye
