Nope, nothing in the package department yet. I have slowly gotten mail. But it looks like everyone may be coming out of strike... banks, school, police, bus drivers, and maybe even mail. Yes a lot of strikes.

My companion and I get along really well.  We are getting a lot done.  This past week we baptized two women. We are really looking forward to many more. We are having some really good success here, one of my better areas for numbers.  We are doing really well.  We are also teaching an English class that has averaged about 45 people in the last two classes.

I have started studying more in English. I was feeling as though I knew very little, like I knew a ton in another language but nothing in my own. So I went back to my English to do some more studying. I will probably start my second reading of Jesus the Christ so I can go more in depth with the scriptures as well. My first reading was just on the surface. I learned a lot but I want more.

This past week I have started studying the Sermon on the Mount. It has been interesting. I haven’t quite gotten as in depth as I wish I had. So I still have more to study on the matter.

One set of scriptures I liked a lot was Matthew 7:17-20. I think. It talks about the wise man and the foolish man, something that can be applied to everything. A literal sense when thinking about construction, marriage, friendship or whatever other setting.

Do not lose my puppy dog!!!!!!!!!!!!  I could totally see Logan jumping off the couch faster than anyone else when he knew the dog was missing from the backyard.  Haha

Ya, marrying someone from here I don’t think would go very well. It wouldn’t be as bad as many would think. But it is a lot of work. Probably more than I am capable of.

I hope you got my other 3 pictures.

Sorry this week is a little weak. I am trying to catch- up on things I missed at conference.
