April 16 letter

Hola everyone,
>
> Since everyone´s been asking... the english fast was hard (and I have another one tomorrow). They want us to speak as much of the language as we can, and I understand why, but geesh... a whole day of no english!?!
>
> Last Saturday I went proselyting in Buenos Aires for 7 hours. It was a very different experience, and a real eye opener. We (me and my comp.) were not as succesful as we would like to have been (obviously), but we did have one miracle while tracting. We had been ringing doorbells at the end of all the gates (people here all have gates and fences that you are not supposed to cross) and were not having much success, when we saw two young men on the corner (by their little wooden box that they work in. In nicer neighborhoods the corners all have watch boxes where gaurds watch the streets for theives and stuff). Since it was during siesta time, the gaurds were pretty bored and were really interested in what we were teaching. So, me and my companion taught them the 1st lesson and I even got to recite one of the scriptures that I memorized last week. (the 1st vision). It was not a perfect lesson, but the spirit was there. it was a great experience.
> most people here are really nice, so while we were out tracting we got to talk to a few people, but unfortunatly our conversations are not able to go very far because even when we do understand what they are saying, we don´t know how to respond. ugh.
> I had one breakdown this week (I cried in the middle of one of our spanish lessons that we weren´t allowed to use cards for)... so it´s been a good week. :) I feel like I´m learning really slowly sometimes, but the teachers tell me otherwise. I guess it´s normal not to learn the language overnight. ah, if only I could though.

> I look forward to receiving letters from you ALL. So far I´ve only received one letter from the family. I know you´ve sent one though and I´m excited to read it.
> I love mail!!!
