Hola Familia!!!

Well first of all i did wright you next week. but what happened is i always get two emails from you mom and so i am never really sure which one to respond to. i responded to the wrong one i guess because when i got into internet today i saw that it had been returned to me. speaking of things being returned to me. i have been trying since august to send some letters and a package home but everytime i try it always gets sent back to the mission office. so i am sorry to say it, but i think you will have to wait until i come home before i you can have your package.

this week brought a new wave of drama, but not with my companion, or investigadores of members. but with my cloths. i hit my year mark and my clothes just kinda fell apart. and apart from that the Hermana that washes our clothes had a accedent and all my shirts but 3 are now stained pink. so what i think i am planning on doing is i will go to the store today and buy a couple shirts so i can get past this week and next week you can write me and tell me what you think i should do.

as for my hump day i spent it in my house. . . this week we have been having our room remodled. they have been replacing the floors and water system. my first week and a half here i have been showering with the good old bucket of water. one to get wet, scrub a dub dub, and the other to rince. not my idea of a relaxing shower. but they finally came and fixed it. but in the night i had a nice suprise as all the young elders from the ward threw me a party. they bought pizza and we watched "the best two years." the picture i sent is from that party.

but the room is done and we are out working as hard as we can like always. my companion is a goof ball so we usually are working but having tons of fun at the same time. when you first see him you would think he is a quiet guy. but once you get to know him he is quite the earthquake. but that is what is fun about him. we will be coming down off the mountain after a long days work and he will ask, "i have used this shirt for two days right?" i respond that i am not sure. and with that he will hand me his backpack and roll down a pile of sand, when he gets to the bottom he stands and says, "well now i will be sure not to use it until it is washed." crazy kid.

well fam it is off to . . . . no clue but remember that i love you and i am working as hard as i can
