Dear family,
Thank you for all the food you sent! I really loved the lemon cake. And also the balloon. We took a video of me blowing out the cake. The video we took is pretty funny, it was one of 3. The Richens and Robertson's both gave me a cake. Elder Scoggin is really happy to see all of the packages.
I'm sending some boxes home, one with my winter clothes, and the other is with things I don't need. A lot of people sent me letters and gifts. If I don't get a letter out quick enough let them know that I am grateful.
Eddy Medrano is back on date for the 2nd of May. I hope this goes through, he needs the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. Today we are going to help him burn some weeds.
All of our investigators are doing good. My spanish is alright but I still have a long ways to go. I hope my next area is all spanish. I can't remember what I wrote last week, but Britney's spanish letter was fun to read. I could understand it. We are basicly done with our suits. I'm wearing short sleeve again. Which I have been looking foward to.
A couple of days ago we helped Bro. Whitaker take out his fence. One of the stakes had a tree root grow around it, and it was big. We had to get an ax and cut it out. Then yesterday we went by this guy's house and helped level dirt. It was alot of fun to work with the dirt again.
This next week will be hot, but alot of fun. Thanks again for all the food and gifts!
Love Elder Garrett
