Dear Family,
Elder Amado came and spoke to us last Tuesday.  It was cool.  We left at 10 in the morning and got back at 8:40.  So… we didn`t get much done that day.  Hna and President Monestel gave awesome talks.   President Monestel talked about spiritual anemia.  But first he asked how many people have had anemia.  A lot of people raised their hands.  Then he talked about what is anemia and the symptoms and how it can be cured ( with an injection of iron)  He asked us what the symbol for Iron is.  Fe.  Aaaahhhh…..  He told us that a lot of the times people who have anemia don`t realize they have it.  He said all you that didn`t raise your hand,  are you sure you don`t have anemia.  He told us that even if we work hard all day and come home with big smiles on our faces every day it`s possible that we still have spiritual anemia and would benefit from an injection of Fe.   It was a really cool talk.  Because the affects of anemia are really the effects of not having enough faith.  Tiredness… stuff like that.  President Monestel is awesome.  Sorry my spelling is getting worse and worse... Asi es.
     I wrote you a letter today. Dad send me your John 17 notes when you get a minute.  I hope you can feel like you`re making progress in your book. Paul, I haven`t eaten anything weird.  rice, beans, gallo pinto, vegetables, cucumbers (I am starting to like them... hope you`re proud mom. and I always think of you Dani.)  platanos!!!!!! queso frito, crema, lechuga, repollo, papas, yuca.  We had pupusas the other day.  There`s a restaurant here that makes them. 
  Mary Katherine!!!!!!!!! your DE made my day!!!!  I couldn`t stop smiling!  Spencer is awesome. Not that I actually know him, but I do know that he is awesome.  I hope James David is living it up in the MTC.  Tell your mom hi. for realzies.  Have fun in your clinicals with the babies!
   Dad I wrote something in my letter that I`m going to repeat here.  I`ve been thinking about some things you told me about how you used to come home from work kind of discouraged and you would play a game with me and it would make you feel better.  I`ve been trying to do that too.  It always makes me feel better to play with Yeri. 
   I have two strings of Christmas lights and Hna Castro has one string.  I have Christmas ribbon and I have been trying to make a Christmas tree out of wire hangers and ribbon.  I`ll keep you posted.  :)
  Grandma Tew!   Happy post Thanksgiving!  I hope you`re feeling better!  We`re teaching someone named Jamilet.  She is about 24 or 25.  She went to the church for Manuel and Yolanda`s wedding and she has gone to some FHEs with us.  She has gone to church the past two sundays.    I am starting to feel more useful on the mission.  I feel like people actually care about me.  It`s a good feeling.  I am really grateful to be in Masatepe.  I love love love it here.  We had four investigators in the church this past week.
I love you all a lot a lot a lot.  I hope all is well with everyone.  Good luck with your dissertation Kevin.  Make good choices Pablito.  Masters Program sounds awesome.  Dani have fun and a baby girl.  please.  Doug good luck in your classes.  Have fun Kyle!  Dad enjoy life!  Mom, invite the family to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!  This sunday an hermano came up to me and told me he had a family for me to teach and we figured out a time that we could go visit them together. It was awesome.  Mom  Don`t speak English for a day your confidence will go through the roof.  Cheryl have fun at work and with the munchkins!
