In the basement of a members home.Dad,
Be careful in OC (Orange County, CA). From the tv show there is a lot of horrible things happening there, watch your back. Of course I never saw the show I'm just assuming. After all, Terminator is the governor, how safe can you be?
Next week we have five baptisms scheduled (we had three for this last week but we had to move them to this sunday.) It's going to be the best day of the mission thus far.
Mom,
The man named Hadi, from Iraq, is progressing slowly. He has all these crazy views, and before we teach him more we have to get clearance from the first presidency to teach him. For some reason that is a rule with Muslim people - need to have permission to teach them (because if they are planning to return to Iraq Christian, they'll end up dead - Hadi reiterated that fact to us as well). He believes in the Book of Mormon, and prophets, but he thinks Christ was merely a prophet. We were finally able to show him that prophets are called of God, not just inspired, spiritual people. he eventually understood and agreed after using some scriptures.

Spanish is still improving slowly. We ate at a peruvians house the other day when I was on exchanges in Othello. The food was AMAZING. But they started laughing at me when they were complimenting my spanish, and then asked me a simple question and I became confused. They thought I understood them perfectly so they were saying how good I was at spanish. Once they asked me a question and I didn't understand they started laughing. It was funny, however, I was understanding most of what they were saying, just the oddly worded question threw me off.
If basketball season starts soon let me know how my Jazz are doing.
Thanks for the package, it saved me. Thank you very much.
Que les vaya bien
