Family,

Well its been a great first week here in Aritao and I'm loving the work, the area, the branch and the people. The sun is getting more and more intense because the summer is on the rise, its getting way too hot haha .  Good thing I'm down here in the coldest part of the mission and not up in the hottest part of the whole country in the northern part of the mission. This week we ran into a guy that speaks way good English and worked in America for like 15 years or something.   His name is Ezequiel like the prophet and he is really interested in the gospel.  We have taught him twice now and he says he knows its true he just isn't ready to go to church.  So well go back to him on Tuesday to teach him a little bit more.  I have realized one thing this week in the fact of being obedient, 100% obedient and how important it really is.  Even the little rules that we have as missionaries, and sad to say I have been breaking one rule that I think is effecting the way my language learning is going and that's the emailing rule.  We are only supposed to reply to emails to our family and I have been replying to whoever emails me.  Well president really stressed this in our zone conference last week so I decided that I need to start following the rules with exactness.  So from now on the only people that I'll reply to will be you from the family (mom, dad, and the sisters).  This is something that I have realized that I need to follow and I'm going to start doing it today.  Your more that welcome to email me and let me know how you are doing but I cant reply.  I know that I shouldn't have been doing it in the past but its the little rules that are important so I know I'll be blessed in this decision.  It may be hard but I can do it.  Me and my comp. are doing great and loving the work.  We are working hard everyday!  We get up early and, come home tired.  The life of a missionary is wonderful and I'm loving it so much.  So I'm way out of time and i'll get back to you next week.  I love you all and I cant wait to talk to you next week.
Mahal ko po kayo! (I love you all!)
