THE HANDSOME (PIANO MAN!!!) BOY'S LETTER

I´m so tired and so very happy because the dad of a family that we´ve been teaching for 3 months finally prayed for the first time and it was beautiful. And the joy that was borne in my heart of quite immense. when we left the lesson, I left doing jumping jacks, in the middle of the street at nine o´clock at night. I want to you all know that I´m happy.

This week we... went to the mountains a lot. And it looks just like Utah, but with banana trees and lots of corn. I felt really at home. I really want to have lots of land and goats and cherry trees and goji berry bushes... .sigh.

I also drank a root beer for the first time in over a year, which tasted fantastic... ALMOST a kombucha. Haha.

Also, my companion is doing fine. He´s handling the death of his father well.

So, I have a secret that I´ve been keeping from you all. I´m learning how to play the piano! And this week I´m going to play in sacrament meeting. I recorded the first line of divina luz (divine light?), this morning. It´s not perfect, but I´ve only been practicing for 2 or 3 weeks. Also,I´ve lost a lot of weight. I weigh 190 pounds right now. :)

This week I´m super tired from traveling and I spent A LOT of money traveling to the mountain. I want to visit all of the members so that they feel our support. It´s really important to me.

This week, I want to invite you to read Doctrine and Convenants 88. It´s something that I´ll be studying this week. Oh! Are you guys doing family home evening?!!! You HAVE to. I would walk bearfoot across the hot, scorching desert to have family home evening with you and watch movies of the church and learn about the mysteries of God. I invite you to receive more light this week. And if you haven´t read Doctrine and Covenants, that you can begin reading it with me today. I´ll begin Section 1 today. Okay? Okay. Deal. And every day we have family home evening over seas... er... over "country." How does that sound? And I invite everyone in our family that we can all begin reading Doctrine and Covenants as a family. And we´ll finish in 142 days. One section a day.

I want you to all know that I love you a lot. You mean so much to me. I have a feeling that I´m going to have to move soon. The winds are changing in my heart. I feel a disconnection with the ground of Siguatepeque.

Oh! also, I would like a bunch of ties from the DI. Pretty ones. But if you could send me lots of cheap, pretty ties. That´s all.

I love you all.
