Wow President Fraatz really said that about me? hmmmm I'll have to believe it cause it makes me feel good about my self and my improvements in the work and the spanish. To answer your question about the heat, yes, it is always hot like that. ALWAYS. but sometimes there is a pretty good breeze off the coast or sometimes some nice clouds but still its hot haha..

Thats good jordan is leaning towards BYU. hmm I still haven't gotten that package with cds and cookies in it. I hope they still taste good when it gets here haha or when I go to managua to pick it up. No worries theres not much more that I need. Im still enjoying the last package that you sent me witm mnms and smarites and all.

anyways the last week my comp and I did splits 3 days straight. Everytime we go to do spilts I'm a little bit scared to go because I feel like im not good enough to teach or speak with out my compa. we do the splits anyways and I end up having a lot of success and i really feel good about my abilities to teach the gospel. The Lord really does work side by side with us and really sends his spirit to guide us every day in his work. he truly ¨goes before our face¨ and his angels are ¨round about us to bear us up¨ This weekend we baptized the daughter of the person that washes our clothes. On the way to the baptism we found her cousin and she went to see the baptism. After seeing the service and the baptismal ordinance and feeling the spirit that was so strongly present, she decided that she wantd to be baptized. We now are teaching and preparing her to be baptized too. There truly are many people prepared here and in the whole world. All it takes is a touch of the Spirit to change the heart of the person.

Well thank you mucho for everything mom dad and family. Thanks much for your love and support for me and for other missionaries too. Keep working hard in the missionary work up there!

Love elder Thorpe :)
