Dear Family,

Tomorrow we are moving out of the Swiharts. We are an added stress to them and the missionaries have been their far too long. We are moving into the Weddles. Then a couple weeks after that we will move into the Mcvayas. Elder Lively and I are doing good. A lot of funny things are happening to keep us entertained. We don't have anybody close to baptism. Blanca turns 18 in November. So we have to wait till then.

We are teaching English and Spanish classes. Elder Lively teaches English and I teach Spanish. We have about 10 non-members Hispanics coming. And we have 2 members coming to learn Spanish. It's a lot of fun. This will help me remember the grammar.

The other day Elder Lively and I attended another church service. We were tr acting and knocked on a house. A lady opened up and said Mormons. Then she said, your just in time for bible study. So we went in and sat down. It was just a regular house. Then she and her husband told us that it was their church building. Then I asked how many attended. She said 3. Her, her husband, and their cat. So the meeting started. The 4 of us and the cat. We prayed, sang, and read a little of Romans. Then we closed by praying. It was really funny because she kept screaming "Praise the Lord". I never thought I would attend another church service.

This up coming week is going to be a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying my mission. I love the work and all that I have.

Love, Elder Garrett
