Hey Dad
Well things are a lot different here, but the work is moving forward. The ward i am in is called Bage. There are very little only about 20 active members and no bishope. There are a million inactive members here so are job is kind of getting them to come to church its frustraighting at times but i love it here.
Me and my companion are doing well and i am working hard with him.
Oh i thougth about writing a letter to the ward up untill now i havent had much time but i will i am writing all of you today. so I will do what i can.
We are on the verge of baptizing this boy named mattaus. he is 9 or 10 but he is really excited about the church i love him he reminds me of logan and russ. but if all goes well he will be babtized in about 2 weeks .
I was having a really tough week this week. With teaching and getting frustrated because nobody understands me and i couldnt understand them and my companion was working me really hard . then i remembered something that logan said once "keep moving forwad"
It helped me a lot. You guys would not believe how manytimes you guys have helped me with problems or something. i love you all so much .
I will get those letters to you . i love you!
