Hey family,
   here´s my letter to President Monestel.  The pouch finally came so I got a ton of letters and dear elders.  Thanks.!  I got one from Charlotte, Doug and Dani, a ton from Grandma Campbell, and from Mom.  Thanks! 
I need the addresses of Grandma and Grandpa Tew, Sarah Cotton, Regan Baker, and Mary Katherine.  Mary Katherine can help me out with Regan´s address I think.
Hope everything is good with you all.   Pray that Enrique gets baptized this weekend!
Love, Hna Tew

Hey Family,
Thanks for the letter Cheryl, Doug, Dani, and Dad. I liked the comic too.  I think mom sent it?
Sounds like everyone is busy.  Good luck with moving, Doug and Dani.  I hope the job interviews go well, Doug.  and that you move to Gillette :) 
I hope everything goes well with the fam, work, and relief society, Cheryl.  Good job, Kevin! Sounds like you are working really hard in your school work.
Dad.  thanks for your letter.  I think your sense of humor is getting dry er.  Go run that marathon!  and write your book.  I like your thoughts.  This morning Hna Silva shared her thoughts about the paralytic man.  She said that sometimes we´re like the man when we don´t actually answer the questions we recieve, we just start making excuses.   I liked your thoughts about Jesus washing the disciples´ feet. 
Grandma Campbell, thanks for the letters.  I like recieving the written bits that you add on.  I am not near the ocean (I don´t think so, anyway) but I am a little bit near the big lake.   The cousin reunion sounds like it went really well. I really liked the picture I got of everyone by the temple. Cool!  Congratulations on your bowling successes! :) 
  Last monday we went on a walk slash hike to a nature reserve.  It´s about 7 km to get the the reserve and then you walk around the reserve.  It was all really beautiful.  There was a waterfall there and a ton of chocoyos live there but we didn´t see any.  We didn´t see any monkeys either, but we heard them!  We saw some really beautiful butterflies. It was fun to go, but it was kind of long.  We took a moto for most of the ride home.
  Well, the rainy season has started her. 
I wrote a little bit about Enrique in the letter to President Monestel.  He´s happy and his family is happy.  They have four boys and one girl too.  The girl is the youngest!  He hasn´t received an answer if the book of mormon is true or not, but he´s been really happy living the gospel, having family prayers, reading the scriptures, and going to church.  The Elders in Ticuantepe are teaching a cool family that is hopefully getting baptized this weekend too.  The branch is going to grow!!!! it is growing!!!
Oh yeah, I got the letter with Scotty´s drawings and the picture of the family.  I really liked the picture.  It is on the wall.  David is cute!
We´re teaching another part member family.  Marlon and Rosa Aura.  Marlon isn´t a member.  He´s gone to church at least twice before.  He´s really cool.  He didn´t want to join us the first lesson, but we invited him the second lesson and he came!  Last night he was going to leave and we asked him to join us and he did.  He must want to change a little bit because he´s getting a little softer.  He told us that there is more peace when they pray as a family.  Family prayer is magical, folks.  Actually, it´s a commandment, so we receive blessings of peace when we obey it.  He is going to get baptized soon too.
   Carmen is reading her book of mormon and she says that she feels peace when she reads it.  COOL!!!  Her husband is a really nice guy, but he works a lot and hasn´t been reading.  But at least he tells us the truth. I like that. 
   the husband of one of our awesome investigators told us that he wants to change too.  but this sunday he didn´t go to church and he wasn´t home for the appoinment.  I think he´s probably just scared.  He´s going to getbaptized too.  :) 
Well, I love you all.  Pray for me!  and my investigators.  we want to start addiction recovery program here becuase there are a ton of problems here. Love, love, love, Hna Tew
