Hola Familia!

I have had a rather disappointing week. first my visa didn't come, second i butched my TRC and last my visa didn't come. but all is well. i figure something down there isn't ready for me yet.

it was really nice that i got to call home on wednesday. i wish i could have called all of you but it was especially nice to talk to my best friend for about 12 minutes :) i love you all so much. i'm not really sure what to expect for the next weeks, i suspect i'll just get back into my usual rythem, wake up, eat, study, eat, study, eat, suffer from the eating, and sleep. man what i would give for a home cooked meal that doesn't kill me after words. i'm trying to stay busy but i'm finding that i am running out of stuff to study. Chiste! how can you run out of the scriptures. in the 3 weeks i have been here i have read from first nefi to words of mormon and only have 25 more chapters to go. i think i'll start over, but add in a new testimant study plan too.

thanks for the packages and letters. i'm sorry i havn't been able to respond to them all yet, but i'm working on it i hope to send off 8 ish letters today, and hopefully i will be caught up.

thanks for keeping me updated on the kids. i miss all of them alot and their nuttyness (yes thats a word i'd say it in spanish but there isn't a translation for it) and their smiles amy i do have to tell you i was a little worried when i got your package and realized you sent me all your kids candy. but it all made sence after i read the notes. i love them too, but i didn't get the one form colt!!! what's with that you must have forgot to put it in the envelope.

my days a DL are over, (mostly because i was supposed to leave on wednesday) but i figure it is all for the better now someone else can have the chance to experience the pleasure of that job (yes i was being sarcastic) it was fun but it was alot of late nights and early mornings, and you all know how much i love my sleep.

i'm leaving you all in charge of keeping me updated on whats going on with everyone, but until i hear from you again just know i love you, and that i love this gospel too. and even though it is hard i know that this is what i need to do and what all those people in Peru need me to do. i miss you, i love you
