hey sister,

The spanish is still coming along. it still requieres alot of thinking. but this week nothing special has happened. we are trying to baptized a little kid next week. so we will see how that goes. and yesterday we had a baptism and it was so funny bc it was a very old guy like 82 and right when the elder was about to put him under the water the old man did the catholic sign across the chest. like the cross or whatever catholics do and next he asked me if he was going to get a new name. lol it was so funny. but thats about all that happened this week. i love the food. and thats funny about peyton. i remember faking sick and stuff. lol i hated school. but anyways. i cant wait to see your house. yeah i can look at the blog and adam does have a girl i am so proud. lol. he has made my week. lol but anyways i hope everything is going well. tell the kids i said hey and good luck in volleyball. i love yall. tell the kids hey for me and i really miss them.

hey mom

  
  right now we are trying to baptize a little kid that is about 10 years old. but he was with his dad this sunday so couldnt. i hope everthing
is going well. i hear about adam girl. i am excited for him and mamaw too. the
language is still hard. they just use words and form there sentences so weird. but
anyways the food is great. i love it. and nothing special has happened. elders from another area came to our chapil to
baptize an old man about 82 and right when we was about to put him under the water
the old man did the catholic cross across his chest. dont know what they call it. it
was so funny. lol. it made my week. but anyways i hope all is well over thiere. love ya
