Things are going alright

Sounds like things are going great. I am glad you got to see some of my friends. I am way happy that ********* is going back to the mission. He will be a great missionary. I hope ***** is doing alright, i havent heard from him in a very long time. In fact i havent heard from anyone for a while.

Things here are going alright, we just played soccer today, it was fun but its in like the 100s. I am sweating like crazy and need to take a shower. We have a family night planned so i am going to make cookies, it will be the first time we visit the investigators in their house so we need to have a good first impression. We have been having some results these past weeks but are still very far away from having a baptism. I think i may be staying here for 7 more weeks, transfers are next pday.

Hey also i am trying to learn spanish, i am reading the book of mormon in spanish outloud everynight. In 5 days i have read 100 pgs. I am understanding and learning, and i want to come home with 3 fluent languages.

Well i love and miss you,
Dylan
