So, I will miss two Anderson Family reunions in a row then. No matter, I will be there for the next one. I´m glad to hear that Marc finished his eagle and everything. As for those who we are teaching right now there has been progress. Several of them read and becoming more interested in the gospel. One began to ask us about the requirements of baptism and everything. We have great hopes for them. I have learned a lot through the teaching experiences I have had last week as well. I have been working on trying to follow the Spirit more as I teach and have had progress. There were several times I began teaching and felt very clearly and distinctly what it was that I should share. Subsequently things changed and they are more receptive. This really is a great and a marvelous work. The Lord is behind it and it is Him that does it. I also finished reading the Old Testament this last week. I have now officialy read all the cannonical works. I still have to read the Book of Mormon during the mission, but I´m at the end of Helaman, in Spanish. Everything else I have read in the mission. I learned a great deal, but I think the main lesson I learned was that it is best to trust in the Lord and obey Him, over anything else. In fact the mission president gave us an interesting fact the other week. The Bible has 2376 chapters, and exactly in the middle is Psalms 118:8 which is half of 2376. The longest and shortest chapters in the bible surround it, and verse 8 says that "It is better to atrust in the Lord than to put bconfidence in man." Well, I am happy and having fun. I love you all and pray that the Lord will continue to bless and protect you.
