I actually have to teach the Gospel Principles class in Spanish this week. It is about prophets. Oh yeah, and I forgot to tell you, I had to give a 15 minute talk in Sacrament meeting last week. The Bishop called us on Saturday, so I had about 15 minutes before bed that night to work on it. But it actually went really well, because the topic was missionary work, so I used a bunch of stuff from my farewell talk. The people here all celebrate New Year`s, and they do it by getting drunk and staying up until like 4 in the morning. So these last two weeks haven`t been too good about teaching lessons because of the holidays. And my companion tells me that a lot of people go on vacation for like two or three weeks in January, so this month could be tough too. But it has been good. The other day we found a lady and taught her a little bit on Saturday, and she came to church with us on Sunday. I was really surprised because people will let us teach them but they rarely will come to church. So that was really cool. Hopefully things go well with her in the next couple of weeks. My companion is the district leader so he has to go on splits with all the missionaries in our district. He went to another area and another missionary came to my area and was my companion for the day. I was a little nervous because I kind of follow my companion around all day, so I don`t really know the area. But that day was really good. I surprised myself with how well I actually knew the area. I just barely got around to opening all the presents earlier this week because you sent so much stuff. Thanks for the ties, they are perfect. When I got down here I realized that I don`t want to wear my nice ties very much, so they were perfect. Thanks for everything else too, although you overdid yourself, like always. Thanks again for everything.
Love,
Matt
