Once again, I find myself not quite sure what to talk about. It has still been a wonderful experience and every day is filled with some new thing to learn. At the same time, they all blur together. This past week flew by incredibly fast, I can hardly believe it's time for me to write home again! I do wish I had the time to write to each and every one of you. Either in an email or in a letter. But it is SO difficult. My time is just too short.

We continue to teach fake ínvestigators´(people who are learning about the church). It's difficult because it's in Spanish, but it is getting easier. As our knowledge of the language grows, we get a lot better with learning. Hermana Raymond and I sign up every week for a language tutor at least twice every week. It is very beneficial for both of us. Also, the day before yesterday, we did an English fast. For a full day, we did our best to speak only in Spanish. There were a few instances when we broke out into English, but I still consider it a success. It's amazing how draining it is though! Talking and thinking in a language for an entire day. It almost felt weird the next day to be free to speak in English. That was after one day! I can't imagine what it's going to be like after 18 months! I probably won't know how to speak English. Not to mention, its going to be an exhausting first few months as I strive EVERY DAY, to speak completely spanish.

We have lots of brand new missionaries here at the CCM. And I mean lots! I can´t believe how many North Americans (Nortes) there are! By far, we now far outnumber the latinos. Makes me miss being able and somewhat forced to talk to the latinos every day.

I should mention letters. There is nothing a missionary loves more than receiving letters. Last week, when they came in the mail, it was literally like a running of the bulls when we realized our teacher had letters! We raced up the stairs after her to get to the classroom. Thank you to all that sent me something! It was so wonderful to receive the letters and they are considered very dear to me. To those whom I have sent letters to and have not yet received them...I do hope they arrive soon. I have no idea how long mail takes. Just rest assured that someday it will come. :)

One more quick thing before I have to head off. My district thinks I have the most beautiful voice when singing. One of the Elders made a comment after singing our opening hymn that was just so sweet. This is what he said, "I have a new teaching method for Hermana Schultz and Hermana Raymond. Hermana Schultz just sings them a hymn." Aww! What a nice guy! And what a sweet comment!

I apologize that this letter is so short! Once again, I have such a short amount of time, and they bumped our email time up abruptly, so I was not able to prepare bullet points of interest. Perhaps I'll try to keep a list throught the week this next time.

I love you all!

Dios se bendice a todos!
