hola! im doing great. it sems that everyone here is dying of allergies and im not. and thank you for the packeage. i got the dice and all of the goddies inside of it too. it was all gone in a matter of days too. but being nice guy that i am i shared it too. your lucky it started to snow. because here it gets to be like 80 degrees and really humid. yesturday it said it was at 81% humidity. it sucked really bad. especially with the salmond sweat geans. and you wont believe this but im losing a ton of wieght. my watch and belt are alot losser and the white coller around my neck is too. and i can tell that im loosing wieght around my belly and my peck areas. and i really havent been doing much. i think ive been sweating it all out. and we got a new load of missionaries today!! its so funny to see their scared faces. and we only got 4 north americans and one of them is hispanic and already speacks spanish. so she dosent count. and they are putting the other 3 in our district which dosent make sence because we are 3 weeks in. i guess we will find out tomorrow. something cool happened yesturday. Brother Allen came in and talked with us missionaries. he is in charge of the whole missionary thing in the world. and hes also part of the area of the seventy. he gave a short 10 minuet talk about missionary work and his experiences. it was fantastic. it also made it so we could miss 3 hours of class too. he was really late so we waited for him in the sacrament room. this week though has been supwer tough though. i lost it about twice this week. because our teacher hermano cruz told my companion ship that we werent very good at spanish and he is so sad because he thinks he is a bad teacher. and for some reason i took it very personally. but im doing better now. but thats life here in the CCM. thats what its called here. you pronounce it like ce ce eme. thaqts how the spanish alphabet is. and right now in class we are learning how to do past tense conjegations and regular and irregular forms. its all cofusing. and last saturday we went out proyseliting again and we had better succsses. we contacted 5 people and we have 2 return apointmens. one appointment was from the guy in the store. he gave us his number too but told us that he was only free during saturday. so i think other missionaries might have to take that one. and the other appointment was odd. this lady stopped us ont the street and told us that we needed to follow her back to her casa. and along the way there she told use she had a pamphlet about joseph smith that she eanted to give back so we were puzzled. when we reached the end of our zone we stopped and she went and got the pamphlet and from what im guessing is that she thought of it like a library book. so she returned it and told us that she would like to meet us next week at that smae spot. wierd huh? and another story is that we went up to this guy and started a conversations and he ended up sayind "you guys have poor spanish, is there a pamphlet i can read". so we gave him it and he seemed really happy. so we did our job. and my companion Elder Webster, and yes hes the guy from st. george that you know, anyways he went up to a guy and started to talk to him and then he asked for his name and the guy said por que? which means why? and Elder webstet thought that was his name. so he continued and said " thats a good name" "por que would you like to hear more about eternal families". the guy just walked away. and elder webster could nt figure it out be i was laughing so hard. he also called our teacher fat once too. that was also hilarious. well i wish i had more time but i gotta go!!
con amor!...jake
