Welcome to my email. First off, happy birthday Marissa! I hope you will be exitoso y have divertido during your birthday. Yesterday was a sad day because our Latinos left to go to their missions. However, I do like the peacefulness of about 20 people here. Also, I am now what they call an advanced north american, even though I don´t feel like my Spanish has improved that much. We´ll be getting new missionaries toady and tomorrow. There´ll be only 80 people in this MTC, which is quite small compared to 2500 in Provo. Last Saturday, we went tracting in the city. Wow! What a wake up call and a great experience. Overall, my companion and I made 8 contacts who were interested(?) and wanted to know more. However, only one of those actually let us in the door to teach. We taught part of the first lesson and she wanted us to come back. I guess I should say that my companion really taught her. Most of the time I tried to understand what was going on. Occasionally, she would ask me a question and in my broken Spanish, I would answer. Then I bore my testimony of course. After that house, we met a member and went into his house. We gave a blessing to his dying wife and his son who looked like he got beat up. If I had to describe the overall experience, I would have to say humbling. It was humbling to see all the poverty of the people. However, they were content and happy with what they had. It was also humbling to realize how little I teach and how much the spirit is involved with everything! It is necessary to always obtain the spirit. Maybe that is why pray everywhere we go with everything we do. I think I have bruises on my knees from kneeling and it is awesome! Well, my time is up again, sorry for being so slow, good luck with everything, and good luck to Mitt Romney jaja. - Elder Walker
