HEY!
Congratulations Brian and Anna! That is so cool! Another little girl. I'm sure Ellie is really excited. Time is flying by. This past week has been pretty good. Since last Wednesday we have found 8 new investigators so things are improving around here. Yesterday we had a lesson at 7:00 in the morning, that was pretty rough but she is super cool. I really think she'll progress well. We also taught two 25-30 year olds, (English speaking), in a smoke filled room but they were fun and cool. They had a good laugh when they found out the truth about us not being polygamists and such and all the other conspiracies we cleared up. Elder McCurdy sounds like he is doing great. I received a letter from him yesterday. I can't believe he's been out for almost a month already. So we haven’t been able to visit with Rogelio and his family for awhile because he has been working more. They didn't come to church also cause of work. They will someday though. They live right next door to the very first McDonalds. I'll have to get a picture of it. It is fenced off but they built a modern right across the street of it. On the first one the sign says over 1 million served and on the modern it says over 1 billion served. Either 1 or 10 billion can't remember. We found them knocking doors on my first day here. He eats everything up. They really opened up at first cause they said they had lost a kid and his cousin recently died so we helped them understand the plan of salvation and taught from the Book of Mormon and they really opened up and grew interest in it all. We talked with some missionaries in Georgia on Thursday cause we had a call back number but it was wrong apparently cause they answered. It was pretty cool to talk with them, doing the same work in another part of the world. Freak! I don't know what to write. We are going to have our tournament today. The top Spanish vs. top English elders. It will be fun. Congratulations again and I hope everything is well. O- and Anna, about your comment in your letter. It's between you and me. wink wink. No one else has to know. Ha Well, take care!
