> Hola familia!
> Things are going great here in Uruguay. It is completely different then what I expected, but I love it. I was going to send a few pictures that I thought were especially cute, but this computer is not the best and is refusing to do it. Ah well... later I guess.
> My companion is great... she has made sure we stay busy and I love it.
> The people in this area where Im serving are really friendly. Most people live in tiny little cement homes with tin roofs and have very little furniture (if any) that is really tattered. But, the people are wonderful and we have found some great investigators. I am coming to know the people and I already love them. My companion does most of the teaching, but I do a lot of testifying and a little bit of teaching. I try to talk as much as I can with the people here and they are all very patient with me. In fact, they really seem to like it when I attempt to talk to them and Ive had some great complements from the members. I still dont understand everything, but its okay because I have a companion who does and she helps me out a lot.
> The branch is kind of small here, but very friendly. On Sunday I played the piano for them and had to bear my testimony (and ask for refferels) in sacrament meeting to introduce myself. It was a good experience and it made me feel very supported when I saw the members smiling at me. They know its not easy to learn a language and are doing their best to help me feel comfortable trying.
> The food here is pretty good also and members give us soooo much food its unbelievable. Our fridge is full of leftovers. Yesterday I ate at a part member families home and the woman who made the food kept plopping more food on my plate. I kept eating it because I didn´t want to be rude, but geesh. It was a lot. I have some funny stories about the food here and members, but I don´t have time to write anymore. I will write it in my letter home.
> Love you all!
