Hey sorry, I guess I forgot to actually send the letter last week... whoops.
Happy Birthday Dad, I didn´t remember until Wednesday or Thursday that your birthday was this week. Sounds like it was a good one
Write me!
love, mb

Hey Family
How is everyone? I hope everyone is happy! :)
  Happy Birthday Dad!  I hope it was great!  It sounds like you got spoiled a little.  I bet the missionaries enjoyed decorating.  And that´s great that Doug and Dani came over to cook.  Cool!   Oh man, I´m a little jealous that you all get to be together a lot.  And Kevin and Paul and Kyle are together a lot too I imagine.  Not that I´m trunky or anything...
   Well, we are still working.  Good news... we have one family progressing.  Bad news... the family is in Costa Rica for the moment.  haha. Something I really like to see is how the spirit can guide us.  In 3 Nephi it says that the thing that the nephites wanted more than anything else was the spirit, and I understand why.  The spirit is everything.  It´s happiness, direction, comfort, warning, testimony. 
  Training is kind of fun.  I hope that I´m a good mom and that Hna Martinez isn´t counting the days until we part ways.  She´s really funny.  I really like her.  She´s trying to learn English and is doing really well.  It´s fun.  Yesterday she gave a talk in church and I taught Principles of the Gospel.  The last time I taught it was a disaster but this time I didn´t prepare as much (Elder, who´s giving the class today?  ¿Yo?  Déle pues...) and it went better.  haha.  I really like the class because we feel like family.  No one ever wants to go the class.  they all want to to the big kid class but once they are in there they like it, I think.  The converts and investigators are all pretty with it so they have good questions and good comments.  My district leader is training a North American so that´s fun.  The district is all really new.  
   The Borgoña is great.  I think we need to start exploring a little bit more.   We´re finding new investigators but we don´t have enough families.
   Noel accepted a baptism date.  Enrique is ridiculously happy.  Everybody is doing good.
   We are always looking for new investigators.
   Important information....my credit card got stolen...last week.  Can you cancel my card or whatever? 
Thanks for the letters and the emails.  
Kyle, I hope you are enjoying your classes and being at BYU again.
Doug, I hope you´re getting used to work and that you like it.  I hope the people you work with are nice folks.
Dani, I hope you´re feeling comfortable with life.  Do you and Doug have callings yet? 
Dad, thanks for always writing me.  I love reading your letters.
Mom, thanks for always writing me too.  I really enjoy everything you write.  It´s very newsy.
Kevin, good luck with school love you!
Paul, tell me what´s going on in your life! 
Cheryl, hope you´re feeling good and doing good!  Good luck with everything

Alrighty folkys, hasta luego.
I´m going to quote a group of drunks in Masatepe... Oren por nosotros!   o  Pray for us!
The gospel is true.  God is our loving heavenly father and the gospel blesses families.  I´m glad to know that you all are doing good.  And I pray for you all too!  I love you all!
Love, love, love,
