HI AGAIN

Hola Familia,

Last week was long and busy. We had interviews on Wednesday so we had to go to Salto. That took the whole day. When we got back, we started divisions. I worked with Elder Smith and Elder Da Silva worked with Elder Desmullier. I slept at Elder Smith`s house for to nights. It was a neat experience. I learned a lot. Friday and Saturday were spent talking with investigators. We are getting two investigators, Moises and Laura, ready for their baptisms this Saturday, March 27. The wrok is going good here.

Today is the birthday of Elder Da Silva. The ward members love him. We have a lot planned for today. One family invited the four of us to their house for lunch. We`re going to have asado and watch Los Testamentos. Tonight, we have Noche de Hogar with another family. We`re going to eat with them and have a little lesson. I found out yesterday that I`m going to give part of the lesson. I have to plan something for that now.

Last week was frustrating. I was getting frustrated about my Spanish. I feel that I should be farther along that I am. I made a goal for myself. I`m getting close to the six month mark. I told myself that by then I want to be able to understand everything that people say and also be able to speak fairly well. Hopefully by the time I call home, I can say that I feel comfortable talking in Spanish.

We went to Brazil two weeks ago for P-day. It`s about ten minutes away on the bus. We walked around a little bit. We went to a store called El Gringo. Now I can say that I`ve been to Brazil .

Changes are next week. I think I`m staying in Bella Uniòn more change. I think Elder Da Silva is leaving. He`s been here for almost three changes. He thinks that I`m leaving and that he`ll stay and train again. I guess we`ll find out who`s right next week.

How`s everything back home? Everyone sounds busy. How are the wedding plans coming along? How`s school going for everyone? How`s work? Thanks for the letters. I think that`s about it for this week.

Love,
Elder Ethan Jones
