I have new companion his name is Elder Lopez he is from Guatemala. He only speaks a little English. I've been working hard with him, and also I know my area well so that hasn't been any problem. It's weird having to always speak Spanish with my companion, it's hard at times.
The family reunion sounded like a lot of fun, I got the letter from Amber and Chad with the baby announcement.
We email letters from computer internet shops, it cost's about a dollar. My area in Chorrera is mostly middle class families. Almost all the houses here look exactly the same. I haven't seen anybody really rich here. I have seen a couple very poor places though. Because the food here is all white rice, I don't think I've lost any weight. I'll be looking for the package you sent. The new member sounds cool, a drummer for Disneyland sounds like a super fun job.
This is from a talk by Elder D. Todd Chirstofferson I really liked it.
By work we sustain and enrich life. It enables us to survive the disappointments and tragedies of the mortal experience. Hard-earned achievement brings a sense of self-worth. Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God. A consecrated life is filled with work, sometimes repetitive, sometimes menial, sometimes unappreciated but always work that improves, orders, sustains, lifts, ministers, aspires. -- Elder D. Todd Christofferson Reflections of a Consecrated Life 2010
Love you all and your letters,
