To family,
     I keep forgetting to answer those questions that I got just before I left the MTC about when I get to New Jersey. I can't really remember them, but I'll try to tell you how things are going here. It's not so confusing. I'm still lost sometimes, but my companion helps me. My Spanish is still struggling I think. I struggle to get across what I want to say during a lesson, but I'm slowly improving. We've already done some tracting and street-contacting. It's tough and those people are most of the time not interested at all. But a good amount of our investigators have come from door-knocking. There's not much else that has happened in the last week. Yesterday, we had a baptism. Jeremy, who is nine years old got baptized along with his sister who is eight. I guess it counts as one of my baptisms, but personally, I don't think so. I got here after they had decided to get baptized and all that. I just watched and taught a little few last things before his baptism. My companion baptized Jeremy and their uncle baptized his sister. Their mom is a member, but less active. She's been coming back to church the last few weeks though. The baptism was pretty cool. President Jeppson and his wife came about half way through it. It was pretty cool to talk to them again. Apparently you don't really see them that much on your mission.
     Well, I missed getting mail this week. I probably won't get any mail until sometime next week if anyone sent it to the mission office. It would probably just be easier to send an email, then every once in a while send mail. I also only have Diovan to last until this Saturday. So I'm really, really low on that. I don't know if you're sending that or if you want me to go out and get it. That reminds me, I don't have an insurance card. If you did send it with me, I don't know where it is. I've been through my suitcases pretty good searching for other things, and I haven't seen it at all. So I don't know if you want to send that to me or not.
     Other than that, I'm pretty good. I'm enjoying it. I'm still way tired and I'm getting frustrated that I still can't understand the spanish people very well. But I can see improvement with myself. I miss Utah is some ways, especially the mountains, but I like being here and seeing different things and experiencing new things. I haven't quite got a hold on how to teach people the Gospel according to how they can understand it the easiest. It's coming though. I miss you guys, and I love you. Hope you can write to me soon. Love you!
