Hey family...
love you all!  write me!
love, Mb

Hey family,
   How´s it going?  Another transfer is coming to a close.  Wow!  I canñt believe how fast time passes. 
Kyle, thanks a lot for your email.  I liked it a lot.  I feel lonely sometimes, but I do enjoy a lot of what we do.  I feel really inadequate and like a failure a lot because we aren´t cumpliendo con las metas de la mision.  But people are changing and we don´t see all the fruits of what we do.  Y vamos a mejorar.  I have a list of people that I want to look up when I get back home.  on facebook.  Haha in Sociedad de Socorro this sunday we learned that facebook is of the devil.  I felt the spirit really strongly (that´s sarcasm by the way.  I`m going to refrain from talking more about relief society in Nicaragua...)
Mom, thanks for the emails always.  I got the first two packages.  Thanks for being so awesome.  I tore off the label thing you had to write out so I don´t know what´s inside.
Thanks for writing Hna Silva.  I know she appreciates it.
Dad, thanks for the letters.  Good job on completing your goal of going to the temple every month.
Doug congratulations on graduating.  I realized last week that I said congrats to Kevin for his progress in school but I never said anything to you!  Que barbaridad! 
Dani, congratulations because you have lots of faith!  And good luck.  Give my mom a hug for me! 
Kevin, good job passing your written exams!!!!! That´s awesome.
Tanner and Nani and Scotty and Adam and David, start practicing being missionaries. 
Yesterday was kind of a bad day.
Um... Enrique feels pressured to get baptized but doesn't feel ready. The lesson this Sunday in Principles of the Gospel was on agency and afterwards he had his interview.  hahaha.  But he missed sacrament meeting when someone quoted Mosiah 18 Que os impide?  Anyway, he has changed a ton.  His family has changed a ton and he´s going to get baptized at some point. 
    A less active came to church yesterday that hadnñt come in 6 weeks.
   Also, the husband of one of our pilas investigators wants to change.  He had to do something yesterday morning and was going to church at 11, for the last hour.  But, he met his wife who was going home from church, and didn't want to be in church by himself so he went home.  He´s going to be in Costa Rica for the next two weeks.  We are working with about 5 people with really strong addictions to alcohol.  President Monestel sent us an addiction recovery book and we are starting to read it.  IT´s awesome.  Also, you all should be proud to find out that you daughter slash sister and her companion won 2nd place in the zone for cleanest apartment.  More importantly, we won chocolate!  
  WE are also working with another part member family, Marlon and Rosa Aura.  He isn´t a member.  He has gone to church twice.  He is reading the ldm and believes that it is true.  They are praying together at night.  I have a way stronger testimony of family prayer.  People feel a HUGE DIFFERENCE when they start praying as a family.
Love to all.  Congrats to Mallory and Daniel for graduating!  Say hi to Charlotte.  I wrote her a letter the other day. Just have to send it...
Love love love
