"Childbirthing"

Dear Dad,

So my hand is sore from writing letters so I am emailing this one and
it is for mom and everyone too, I just only have your email cause mom
had me take your business card so please forward it to me!

I have had a GREAT week. I have had some very spiritual expiriences...
like three days in a row I had great expiriences. I love my whole
district and they are all great people. We have 4 Elders and 4
Hermanas, two of the Hermanas are way cool and fun and the other two
are loosening up, they are just really shy and are more of the mindset
that if your smiling your not working, which is not my style, or
TRUE!!! But either way we are all very productive and work well
together in class and enjoy eachother! Life is great! Spanish is
coming along, the TRC is "kinda a testing center for missionaries" went
really good for the spanish part of it. We had to converse for 15
minutes in spanish and learn about their families and things. that
went really well and we nailed it and I understood most of what he was
saying! Spanish is picking up, conjugating makes sense and I can do it
on paper, I just cannot do it very quickly in my head most of the
time, but I am working on it!

ok now for the funny story: we were teaching the second lesson and we
were doing very well, then the old man who we were teaching went into
an in depth conversation about child birthing... I held it together
and just changed the subject back to the gospel once he took a breath.
then, about three or four minutes later he started talking more about
child birthing and fetus's!!! I could not help but chuckle, all I
could think about was knocking on people's doors and saying "Hi we
would like to give you a quick sex ed class". It was an utter disaster
but I hear that that particular volunteer always messes with the
missionaries and tries to get them off topic! I felt bad afterwards
for laughing but seriously, he was trying to mess with us!

PS. I have seen Robbie Hansen's parents this week everyday at breakfast!
they sure are nice people, they are going tobe Mission Presidents in houston! and I saw matt
grieco within 30 minutes of him being here and he seemed very happy to
see me! I have seen Kelly Pike a couple times. and I have seen my old
roommate who should not be on a mission. Thats all!

I love you!
