Dear Family,

Well it sounds like you all had a pretty good week this week, looks like spring is coming to the valley and that grass plus is getting work done already. Well as it warms up there it continues to warm up here too. I am glad to hear that a couple of my letters made it home after all of this time. It also sounds like you guys had a good conference weekend, I had a pretty good one too. Well this conference I got to listen to it in english. Right now we are living with 4 american missionaries and so they set a room of enlgish up for us! We listened to conference in the bishop´s office, where is the only place in the whole chapel that has air conditioning. So we got to sit in the air conditioned room and listen to conference in english, lets just say we were blessed haha. Anyways, conference was awesome this year, they really hit on the family and the importance of the family. Especially, Elder Ballard´s talk when he pulled out all of those statitics and how they talked about how important the family really is in all realms of life. I also really liked all the talks inviting everybody everywhere no matter what part of life that they are in to come back to Christ and accept his as their savior and how he is always willing and ready to take us back into the fold. Conference was really cool, im excited to get the ensign on it. Also this week the other guys bought me a pizza and breadsticks from pizza hut for my 8 month mark completion. I sent the pictures home to mom. Pizza hut might not sound like much to you all back there in the US but here in the DR pizza hut is basically as good as pizza is going to get and only the rich people go to pizza hut. So it was really awesome and the pizza was the BOMB! 

Also, let me explain our water situation. So still every tuesday and saturday water comes and we have a pump that pumps water up to our house when there is power. and then we have 4 big buckets/ little tanks that we fill up and that is our water until water comes on tuesday or saturday. Well on saturday our pump broke so we spent about 3 hours satuday morning filling up little buckets from up the street and carrying them down to our house to fill up our 4 big buckets.. it was quite the process but we are getting someone to fix our pump now so don´t worry too much about us here haha. Anyways everything else is going really good here we are starting to find some new people to teach and Dayana and Chelo are still just progressing right along and are really excited about the gospel. Well I hope everything is going well with all of you and that you guys are getting the house all ready for spring and that it is warming up a little bit for you all. Everthing is going good here I love you all and i hope you have a good week!
