I’m doing good today we just got back from a big service project down by the ocean for a mental hospital today. It was an interesting experience to say the least. We're lucky to have the health care we have back home, none of the rooms had windows and no medical equipment and the nurses white slippers were all stained with blood. We were hacking away some vines with machetes when the nurses started asking about us and next thing we know we we´re teaching the 1st lesson to them and placed 3 books of mormon. I didn´t really do much because the elders from guatemala took care of business but it was awesome to see real work being done. We got to go the ocean afterwards and get some mexi-cokes. Last saturday we went out street contacting and giving lessons to less active members. I had a good experience when the very first time when i testified of the book of mormon and was able to feel the spirit but the next one i wasn´t really paying good attention and was put on the spot to testify so I testified of the b.o.m. again and was freaking embarrassed to find out they were talking about tithing. Then to finish off the day I placed a book of mormon at a bus stop and helped teach the 1st lesson. It was really good for me to go out and talk with real people. Which helped put my head in the right place, which is here not home and the importance of sharing the gospel and bulking up and learning spanish.

Thanks so much for talking to me the other night. You really helped me the through one of the lowest lows in my life, the past couple of days were hard, but things are starting to look up its not so bad anymore and I'm starting to find some small good things in my day and the foods not so bad anymore but sleeping is still hard at night. I'm sorry I couldn't email you yesterday they wanted us to do it today on thanksgiving but we should be back the usual schedule next week. Thanks for the updates on Tim, email him and ask if he's gotten any of my letters or if he can email me please haha. Thanks again for the support. Have a great thanksgiving!
