I am a missionary -- a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ and his church. What an important calling. What a humbling calling. I have been doing very well. Elder Kilgrow went home Saturday morning, so Elder Steel, Elder Thornton, and I are a threesome. I am growing to know and love my companions and my district. Mis maestros son Hermanos Price, Jarvis y Gee. La Idioma is coming along muy rapido. En a few semañas, I may begin escribir en Español. Elder Thornton, however, seems to be having a hard time with the language and Elder Steel is coming about normal. The others in my district are Elders Jones and Jensen, Stoddard and Bateman, Holman y Broaddhurst, y Hermanas Ferguson y Mowry. On Sunday I had ocho reunióniones. Todos son muy bueno. I'm learning a lot more about the gospel and how to present it, and I think I'm also learning how to express my feelings. I have met nearly all of the people that I knew were here. We, as a district, will be going to the temple on Wednesday--our Preparation-Day. Yo sé que JesuCristo es mi Salvador. Él Muerte y vive para mi y todos el mundo. Yo sé que José Smith es una profeta de Dios y yo sé también que El Libro de Mormon es la verdad. Yo amo la *pala* *trabaj* obra. Yo sé que Howard W. Hunter es el profeta de Dios hoy, y yo dice estas cosas en el nombre de JesuCristo, Amén.
