I´m glad to hear that everyone had fun and enjoyed the plays. As for my week it went very well. We had lots of success this last week. My companion is Elder Nieves. He is from Salt Lake but his dad is from Panama and his mom from Cardston, Alberta. He is a great Elder and has no fear. He doesn´t understand Spanish at all though. He can speak well but he has trouble understanding. But he knows how to work and works very well. He played lacrosse before the mission and was good at it. The plane landed two hours late though on Tuesday and so we didn´t get to do anything. However the rest of the days we got a lot done.

I am so grateful though for the chance to be with him and train again. There is a fire that someone just out of the MTC brings. For example this last week we decided we would pray that someone would come to us to get baptised, and yesterday none of our investigators came to Church, but just as we prayed a man came to Church wanting to get baptised. He said he wants to go to Church at least two more times before he gets baptised, which is the standard, three weeks. It is really amazing what you can do with faith.

Well, I am glad for everything you all have done for me. By the way, my companion says that I have a rather thick Canadian accent. I think its because I have been speaking in Spanish and trying to pronounce the vowels right. The vowels in Spanish are similar to the Canadian accent. Anyway, I am happy to be here and hope that we continue to do well. Thank you for everything and I pray that everyone continues enjoying themselves and growing in the gospel.
