It is cool you guys got to go to the MTC, I´ve only seen pictures.  I'm still in La Concordia and have a new companion, Elder Socola.  But there are now 2 more missionaries here and we are living in the same house, for now, until their house is clean, and has water.  We will probably be cleaning this week, it is horrible, missionaries have not lived there for like a year, and there is food in there, it smells like someone died.

This week was good, we might have another baptism this week but we will see.  I think we might wait another week.  She has been taking lessons from the missionaries for 3 years, her husband is a member.

I'm sorry school is starting up for you guys.  But just think Mom and Dad, you are helping with the plan of salvation by helping people gain knowledge and become better people, and Ellie, you are living the plan of salvation by receiving this knowledge and trying to progress in knowledge.  So school is not bad, it is a part of the plan of salvation.

It is so cool Dad got to baptize in the ocean on his mission.  There is only one sector here in Tena where you baptize in the river.  But it is very hard to baptize there, the people have very stiff hearts.

It is also cool you guys helped Nana out and the video of Ellie on the lawnmower it is the most exciting, action packed, video I have seen this week, I about had a heart attack.

I don't really know if I have a favorite food, if I do it would be Verde, other types of fried bananas that I can't remember, and the fruit can be amazing.  I never knew something could have so much flavor, like bananas right off the tree, when they're yellow, and mangos, they're so GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you guys have a great week, and I love you all, and will have pictures next week, chow.
