Thanks for the letter. This past week has been a rough one. I think on Monday it hit me for the first time that I wont be coming home for the next two years, I miss you guys a lot. Spanish has gotten a lot harder, we are learning things that I barely know about in English. Each lesson I teach more and more which is good but it is still hard. I am excited that you guys are moving in soon. It is hard to believe I have already been out over a month. It is funny it is fall there because all the trees here are just starting to bud. I am learning so much here I love the teachers. I got my first letter today I don´t know who it is from yet I just know it is sitting there. Prosolotismo this week was interesting. We switched areas and on Friday we learned where we were going. When are roommate from here found out where we were going he got this scared look on his face and made a gun with his figure. It was some where south. When Saturday came we were delayed an hour because the manager of the mtc had bad feelings about the area. So we got sent back to the same rich area as last time. It was a little slow because we got there late. I will just share one quick story. We stopped an old lady on the street. We talked to her about how God loves her then asked her if she had a family. Everyone always says yea, but this lady looked at us for a second and then said no they are all dead. We were a little surprised but thankfully Elder Crawford is a quick thinker and began to share the plan of salvation then we gave her a folleto about it and committed her to read it. It was a really cool experience. I just met with a senator from Idaho and he said he might give you guys a call.  I have really missed home this week. It is hard having to be with someone 24/7. This past week I have really wanted to go backpacking. A friend here climbed mount Kilimanjaro a couple years ago he said it wasn´t that bad. He said climbing Mount Whitney in California was harder. Well that's about all the time I have, talk to you guys next Thursday.  I believe I leave here on the 8 of November. It is crazy how fast the time flies. Any way love you, miss you. Que tenga un buen semana.     Love, Elder Wray
