Hey,

How is everyone doing back home?  Things are going really well here.  There really haven't been all that many new things that have happened in this last week.  (I guess that is the boring part about staying in the same place for a long time- you realize that you keep working hard, but there are not all that many new things to tell about.)

One thing new this week was that we had an activity in the branch where we made completos, which are hot dogs in a bun with tomato, avocado, ketchup and mayo.  I've actually grown to really like them haha.  It was pretty much just a relaxed activity where we talked, ate, and played some games.  It was different than we planned because it ended up raining and not very many people we able to come, but it still ended up being a good experence where we could have a good time with the members and help to some degree to strengthen the unity in the branch.

I was able to meet the new mission president this last week.  It seems like he will be a really great mission president.  He is a very inspiring leader who I feel will do a lot to help us reach our potential as missionaries.  It will be interesting to see how everything goes as I get to know him better.

Today we had a big activity in San Fernando with a lot of missionaries.  We didn't really do much there, but it was a good opportunity to talk with missionaries that I haven't seen in a long time.  I got to see the missionaries that I trained for the first time in a very long time.  It was nice to see how everything was going for them, and catch up with everything that is going on in their lives.

Well this coming week we have changes again, and I really don't know what is going to happen.  Either one of us between me and my companion could go, so we will just have to wait until Friday to see what happens, but there may be some changes the next time that I write you guys.

Well, I think that is about all that is new here.  Let me know how everything is going back there, and I'll talk to you later.
