Companion: Elder Hess

Wow! There was so many emails this week! I am soo excited for everybody! I hope that the video is exciting, I can't wait to see it in 99 weeks!

I just wrote that and just realized how much I miss everyone, and real music. The guy that manages the email shop where we are at is playing the strangest music. One, it is English; two, the lady singing is playing some weird music. But music everywhere is crazy. Definitely not what I'm used to. Speaking of, I acquired a guitar in this last week! I have a Children's Hymnbook, so I've been practicing a lot. So, hearing that Bill did that is just so cool!! I can't wait to hear that.

It seems that Matthew is becoming quite the video maker, I'm glad that I taught him something good? It sounds very interesting, how is the other video doing? Did Matthew start his own profile on Youtube yet? Is he famous yet?

I have been losing weight, glad you noticed! I've noticed it awhile, and have been debating whether to get a smaller belt or not. The two that I have are not broken or anything though, except I think that I'm too small for one. I'm pretty sure that I shrunk out of it in the MTC. I have been eating fine and am opening up to more food slowly. I ate my first spicy thing last week, spicy KFC chicken! I'm such a big baby about spicy food, maybe, hopefully, I get better about it. Maybe not also.

I wonder what the whales sound like, and is it a good video? There is a video on Youtube of a whale breaching and then landing on the small watching boat. Glad that wasn't you. Was it any fun? I think that I'll put that as something on things-to-do-before-i-die list.

So that Sister I was telling you about last week is settled! Hooray!

Fast Sunday yesterday, was the hardest Fast Sunday I've ever had. We started fasting at 8:00 pm the night before. At church, the members make a lunch for everyone, every week. So they kept making fun of us, and eating in front of us. haha, funny. But then, it was a hot day yesterday so we were just sweating a lot, and while inviting, (not tracting, that isn't the correct term), everyone gave us water. I mean everyone too.

I'm getting a lot better at the language, everyday, I work at it. I can read pretty darn well, writing is okay, (the spelling part is hard), and speaking is just coming slowly. The members try to help everytime we see them, I appreciate it muchly.

Any letters that you may have sent three weeks ago should be arriving. If you send packages, and it is food, make sure it is not something that will go bad quickly. Send like Chex Mix and stuff like that.

Life is good, tell everyone that I am okay. 

Love everyone!
