Hello again!  It has been another great pday and now it is almost over.  First of all I just wanted to say thank you.  Thank  you for the great letters that past few weeks.  It has really helped me out with adjusting to new circumstances.

Our investigators are doing well.  We are trying to get some new people but it´s getting harder to find more.  We do have 2 new people.  We met a less active woman right before Elder Woodbury left.  She has 2 boys that are not members.  Well the 2 boys have gone to church with their mom, and they love it.  Renzo and Jorge :)  They are the best ever.  We are going to set up a baptismal date with them today actually :)    Well also we have a less active father.  His family is great.  They are great members and come every Sunday,  but he doesn´t.  We found out that his wife wants to go to the temple, but the father has a drinking problem and just isn´t on the right track right now.  We will be making sure to fix that  :)   I love our investigators so much.  I love being on a mission so I can see how much a person can change in a matter of months.  It is so great to see!  

Well my Spanish is getting better.  Elder Raiano complements me a lot saying that it has been getting better.  When we were in a lesson he said I sounded different for a good 3-4 minutes.  Just perfect Spanish, nothing was wrong.  The accent, the grammer, everything was perfect.  That night I thanked the Lord for that.  That wasn´t me, I know that for sure.  That was the gift of tongues all the way :)  It was good for me to finally hear, wow that was perfect.  That was the first time.  

Well as Jana has been saying, a new President is different.  President Jackson, is a street President, as he says.  He wants to be with us in our lessons, contacts, everything.  He told us he doesn´t want to be in the office, he wants to be with us.  He has a kid quality to him, which is really nice.  He is one of the missionaries :)  He told us, no more numbers.  I don´t like them, I want it from the heart, I want the lessons from the heart, not a book.  I am going to love President!  That´s what I like to hear! :)

Thank you so much for everything! I love you all so much!  You are all the best and I love you.  Thank you for the letters and the support over the week.  I needed it.  Nothing on the food end, which is good I guess :)  

Thank you again for everything!  I love you!

Love, 

Elder Alex Laubaugh!!
