Big Al's Big Mish: Hola!!

The Entire District

Hola!!

Well it was really nice to hear from you guys, and all your cool stories! Wish I could hear more, but I´m glad everything is good back home! I hear the football team won 20-0 against Ben Lomond?? That´s awesome! That´s almost 20 points better this year than when we played them last year.

So this week has flew! It has been 2 weeks and it feels like yesterday I was just getting set apart. I really like it here, and everyday only gets a little bit better. The language is coming along really well. Yesterday my companion and I got with a new progressing investigator and spoke to him in spanish mostly without our notes, we were pretty proud of ourselves. We invited him to pray and read the BOM. Except for we forgot to invite him to be baptized haha, that´s something we could work on in spanish. We have seen alot of improvement since day 1 and our 1st lesson. The first one was a bomb cause we didn´t know a whole lot of spanish. Now it is alot better though But the gift of tongues is so amazing. It´s amazing knowing how much spanish I have learned down here. Some kids down here are in their 6th week and can speak full conversations, and are really fluent. I´m working on hopefully being fluent before I leave the MTC

I´m glad you guys care about me enough to want to send me american food :) but I was just kidding about that haha. The food can sometimes be scary but I´m starting to get used to it. I´ve only had diarrhea once the whole time i have been here. But everybody in our district got really sick so I wasn´t the only one haha.

That´s sick that Weston scored like 3 touchdowns in the varsity black and gold game! I loved reading from his letter and how un excited he is for school haha. And I think drama fits Marleigh perfectly because... well I don´t know I can just see her being in drama. You´ll have to let me know how it goes for her.

I´m happy little J.T. is starting to finally get along with Charleigh. I love hearing his cute stories, and it makes me sad he still is looking out the window for me in my little white Blazer car. I miss him so much. It´s good to know he still acknowelegdes me .

My companion says there are lots of Colemans in Wasatch. But he can´t recall a Guy Coleman but i guess they are all over wasatch. My companion did play sports, he played football and track. He does know about the 2 Coleman boys that passed away in an avalanche. I think Guy would know them too. You´ll have to ask him about that and let me know.

About the Earthquakes... yeah there has been some pretty sketchy earthquakes down here. But not enough to do damage where we are. I think it was 200 miles away from us and it was a little higher than a 6.0 earthquake i think. We´ve actually been evacuated out of our buildings 3 times down here because of earthquakes. They were scared buldings would colapse on us but the earthquakes weren´t strong enough to do anything.

Well Family i love you all! I hope to hear from you some more. Tell everyone hi for me and that i love them. And if anybody wants to drop a short little message to me that´d be cool, usually I have lot´s of time to write.

P.S.+ get me Gary Nelsons number Carmen. I know he shares missionary letters with his class and i want to be able to send him letters.

Love Elder Horrocks
