Dad,

I love the picture of the car. That`s so funny that he bought it. I`m not surprised he got something like that but it does make me laugh. I will most definitely have to drive that when I get back. If he will let me. It`s great.

I did want to apologize for my last letters. I shouldn`t write anything bad. So I`m not going to anymore. This work may be hard but I know I will see the light and know that all my trials will be worth it. As you say "what doesn`t kill you makes you stronger". I actually think about this a lot. My Spanish gets better everyday even if I just learn a word or two. Thanks for all your letters and support. I definitely couldn`t do this without it. It makes me realize that I am not alone here. I may feel it sometimes but I know you all think about me and I greatly appreciate it. I wrote more about some of the people were teaching in the letter to mom. Sorry. You will have to combine the letters and read both to know everything that`s going on. We`re also teaching a family but we haven`t seen a lot of them lately. Which I don't think is a great sign. But we`re going to stop by again tomorrow and try to meet with them. They are the Fabricio`s or the family of fabricio. They are a great family and we challenged them to be baptized. They accepted but of course only if they found the gospel was true. And we haven`t been able to talk to her husband a lot. Only her and the kids. So he doesn`t have a baptismal date yet. It`s so hard to find families to teach because the dad's are never home. Only on the weekends. But we`re hoping to find more. We have spent a lot of this week contacting and trying to talk to the members and find others to teach. Some are really helpful and some aren`t. All I know is that when I get home, I am going to help the missionaries a lot. This work can't be done without their help in some way. But the members are great.

I am bound and determined to make this next week awesome. I`m not sure how yet but that`s my goal. Also, I am teaching a piano class tomorrow. We meet someone on the street who plays a few instruments but not the piano and wants to learn. So my companion volunteered me. Haha becuase I didn't really understand everything. I am pretty excited though. I`m not sure how it`s going to go because i don`t know how to teach it in English let alone Spanish but somehow I will make it through. I also teach English every once in a while. That's been fun because I know the words! I`m thinking of teaching more classes but I`m not sure yet. I need to talk to my companion first about it.

Funny thing - last night we were walking to an appointment and someone asked me what time it was. And he asked in English. And he had to ask twice because I couldn`t figure out what he was saying to me at first. I was expecting Spanish because very few people here speak English. But it just made me laugh. I couldn't even understand my native language!

Anyways, I love you and miss you and everyone else. Thanks for everything and for your encouragement and prayers and example. LOVE YOU!!!

Oh P.S. Also, since I know you haven`t sent my package yet, if you know where my cord to my camera is please send it. I don't have one and totally forgot about it because I don`t need it with the laptop. But I do need it here. Last time I sent pictures, I used one of the Elders. I wish I could tell you where it is but I don`t know. Sorry.
