Brett-September 15, 2008

Hey y'all. Well things are going good over here in Roswell. When I first got here we had no investigators but we've been doing a lot of finding and we're teaching a few families. Nobody has come to church yet but we're gonna keep working with them. We've been teaching quite a bit in Spanish as well. My comp doesn't speak a whole lot of Spanish so I kinda have to take over in the Spanish lessons and my Spanish has been improving immensely. Its nice also to have Sacrament meeting in Spanish. I'm still playing the piano during Sacrament as well. I've been trying to practice as much as possible but we just don't have enough free time for me to practice. I'm not gonna lie I'm not a very good piano player but I guess its better than no piano. Well, we also got to attend a funeral this weekend so I had some time to think about Garrett this week. It was at the church but it wasn't your typical LDS funeral. The majority of the people there were Catholic. Elder Roper (one of the ZLs) gave a really good talk on the Plan of Salvation. Well other than that, I've recovered from the hike last week and my legs are finally feeling normal again. I think I forgot to tell y'all before but I'm finally driving!! My comp doesn't have driving privileges so I get to drive the Corolla. I keep trying to get him to ride bike with me but he refuses to put his bike together. Oh well, he's not the easiest companion to get along with but I'm trying to make it work and stay positive and happy. I love the area and the members and I love serving the Lord. There's nowhere else I'd rather be right now. I love y'all and hope all is well back home.
Elder Brett Harber
