​Dads Grill looks great, I can't wait to use it.  Most people here don't have grills.  We found a restaurant that grills pollo, and it is really good.  It is good dad fixed the washing machine,and how you guys got a new dish washer.  I bet it is nice not to have to wash dishes by hand; I will still have to wash my dishes by hand, for a long time.

The house looks nice.  The Ecuadorians starting decorating for Christmas at the beginning of October, it was weird.  It is weird to see Christmas decorations because the weather IS THE SAME AS WHEN I GOT HERE!!!!  The snow [back home] looks great.  Send me a lot of pictures of snow, I love it.  Thanksgiving looked good, there was a ton of food, that is what I want my home coming meal to look like.  One of the families here wanted to make a Thanksgiving-like meal for me but they all got really sick so it didn't happen.

The baptism was great, it was really cool.  He is 20 and lives with the Branch president.  I have been teaching him ever since I got here so it was cool to see him get baptized.  The branch activity was fun. I went with F. Salacar.  Their kids are crazy, but it was fun to teach people about the family with them.

My talk went good.  I mainly just read the whole time.  It was on the talk by elder Dale G. Renlund called "Latter-Day Saints Keep on Trying".  The members liked it, but my talks will get better when I know Spanish better.  It was 15 minutes long, they asked me to give a 5 min talk, but it was good.

Life is good but the rumor is that we will be Skypeing on the 25th, but I don't know, it is just a rumor.  The conference we had with president was good.  I have no idea what he was talking about, but it was nice just to be with him.  I'm just going crazy over the fact that the weather is not changing, but I love you all.
