Hey guys!

It is going to be really fun when you guys come down to pick me up!  I am really excited about it!  And I am really excited about my new area too, Colotenango.  Plus it is back in Huehuetenango and I love Huehuetenango so I am excited about it just because of that.  But I am also going to be able to learn a little bit of Mam!  And I have 6 months to learn it which is for sure long enough to get a basic sufficiency and supposedly it is easier to learn a language when you have already learned one.  So I already learned Spanish and I was starting to learn Quiche so I think that I should be able to get Mam down pretty quickly.  I am SOO EXCITED!  There is no way for me to express how excited I am about this area!

This week was good.  Monday I went to PDay in Momos and then we got back to San Francisco and said goodbye to all of the members.  On Tuesday I had changes and I got to my new area in Colotenango, Huehuetenango.  It is so hot there especially coming from San Francisco, El Alto which is one of the coldest parts of the whole mission.  So I have been getting really tired lately every night and sweating for every little thing that I do like Niagara Falls but it is all good.  I love this area.  I am learning Mam pretty quickly and easily because Quiche actually stemmed off of it so a lot of the words and grammatical structures are pretty similar from the little that I know.  So that is cool.  I am planning on buying a Mam book either today or tomorrow to get started.  There are a lot of people who can only speak Mam too which is frustrating when I can´t talk to them because a lot of the times, the members are too busy to be with us all of the time so I am going to learn it.   J

I am winding down from the President´s challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 40 days and I just finished reading about when Christ came to the Americas and taught all of the people.  Before, I guess that you could say that I knew that it was true and could more or less say that it was true but it was just different this time.  I actually felt like I knew for sure that it was true, like I was reading the journal of somebody who had actually been there.  Which really is what the Book of Mormon is,-a Journal.  That was a sweet experience.  It actually happened and I had never thought about it like that until this last time that I read the Book of Mormon.

Well, I am out of time so I have to go. Thanks for everything! I love you guys!

Love
