Dear Family,

I actually like to write my letters in english it reminds me how to write because sometimes I forget and spell things half in spanish and half in english. It has been a really crazy week we got to go out of the mtc this last Saturday and actually walk the streets of Lima Peru and talk to less active members. It was really crazy at first I thought that they were just going to drop us off and let us go where ever but they gave us a guide. The lessons were crazy because I could not understand the Spanish that the people were saying they were talking so fast. I did teach a little when I understood what was going on. We taught three lessons and it was really cool because it sounded like they were going to go back to church. We even got one of the ladies that did not feel worthy to go back to church cry because she was so happy. My companion did really well and it was so cool to here him preach to them. That is cool that the roof is almost done I bet things have been really busy at home and I forgot that last weekend was even a holiday for you guys. I miss elder berries and american foods now. We had spaghetti one day and hamburgers another day and they did not taste that good but everyone is just happy when it is not rice and chicken. And they don’t give me any money yet I have to wait until I get to the field so I am being frugal with my money. All of my teachers are returned missionaries so it helps they know what they are taking about and know the gospel very well. I’m sure that your lesson was fine anyway even though you didn’t read a lot of related materials you don’t need to be hard on yourself. Well tell everyone hi and that I am not dead Love you,
