I think the past 6 weeks went by fast, we had transfers today.  I'm still in Quito, just a different sector.  I'm just a little south from were I was.  I don't know what it's called.  But I hate the house, it is tiny.  We live in the back of this building on the bottom floor.  We have windows but all you see is walls.  I'm calling it the hobbit hole, it makes me feel a little better about the house.  My companion is from the states, California.  I will have his name next time.

But yeah, the past 3 weeks were hard.  I had the stomach flue, it was horrible.  I went to the doctor but I didn't have anything, I just can't eat a few things for a while.  I might have lost weight because I have not been able to stomach food very well.  I can eat now, just not a lot.  But I'm doing better, I just really want U.S. food right now.

I got grandma's package, so if you guys can thank her for that.  I can't eat any of it right now, but it is a nice view.

Thanks dad for those pictures, when I started looking at them a lot of Latinos gave me some weird looks but the pictures are awesome.  Thanks for the story of president Hinckley, it was good.

Life's good and it is good to be hear all is well over there.  I love you all.  I sent Ellie some pictures.  I hope you all have a great week.  The next time you guys get a snow storm, can you take a picture of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple?  Thanks, love you all.
