I hope you´re all doing well.  That the interviews went well kyle and doug.  Thanks for the letters.  I haven´t read them yet. but I will right now.  I love you all a lot!  I´m always happy to hear good news.
love, mb

Hey family,
   Cheryl, thank you for the pictures.  I really liked them.  Tanner and Nani look big. 
   Dad, sounds like you had a good trip to Utah.  That sounds like fun to go to New England. 
   Kyle, good luck with your interview.  I hope it goes well!
   Doug, good luck with your interview in Green River.  I hope you move to Gillette!
   Mom, Hna Silva would like a little hymnbook in English.  Thanks for the packages.  I haven´t received the other one, but I´m sure it will get here eventually.  I´ll probably break birthday tradition and open my presents in the morning.  I don´t think I´ve ever done that in my life.  Thanks.  Are you practicing your Spanish
   Pablito, I didn´t know you were taking a Spanish class.  I wrote you a letter a long time ago and sent it last week. I wrote a little bit in SPanish.  
  
This past week we had an FHEwith Enrique´s family.  We played a game.  Basically the point of every game is to make someone do something embarrassing in front of the group. Castigo preferido es bailar el pollito.  or in other words, dance like a chicken.  It seriously is the point of EVERY GAME.  So, that´s what we did.  I got punished twice so I had to dance and then I had to sing.  They liked my singing.  it was fun.  It´s so cool to see their family so happy! 
    We are working with members a lot more.  We got 4 references of families this week.  I was praying to be able to ask for references and put baptism dates better, and I´m improving. :)
   We are trying to have more faith and courage in putting baptism dates.  We hadn´t put any in a long time.  Like two weeks.  And that´s a sin.  We put 3 on Friday.  
   We are trying a new tactic with Enrique:  wait for him to put his own date, hha.  He´ll get baptized soon. 
He´s a nice guy.  I really like his family.  They are fun. 
   Happy father´s day, Dad.  I don´t remember when it is.  This week or next week.  But I hope it was or is a good day.
   This Friday Elder Maynes is coming to visit us.  We are going to be with the north mission again like when Elder Nelson came, so it should be great.  I have some letters that I´m going to have passed on to some people in Nagarote and Masatepe. 
    My Spanglish is steadily improving.  While doing the weekly numbers I asked hna silva how many investigators we have progresanding. And I didn´t even catch what I had said until she started laughing. 
    Rafael is still really happy.
    Rosa Aura has a lot of faith that Marlon can change.  We are going to start the addiction recovery group this week.  Hopefully Friday.  The teacher is going to invite people with us Wednesday night. 
    Yesterday we went with a partly inactive family. The dad has problems with alcohol. I loI love teaching people that have WoW problems.  They are like little kids and they just want to be change.  They are probably my favorite people to teach. 
I love you all. Good luck in everything you are doing
love, hna tew
   It´s really beautiful here
