All right, so the first thing I need to do is straighten out what I said last week, at least clarify. We´re not suppose to say anything bad about the people here, and I said they are bad singers - which is true, but I didn´t explain why. They rarely have piano players here and most (if not all) of the ward members are converts. Needless to say - They didn´t grow up singing and knowing the songs.
And about the music...
We are getting to teach people, and I am contributing slowly to the lessons.
I have 2 problems.
1- I am not very confident with my Spanish.

2- I don´t speak very loud, because I am not very confident about my Spanish.
Hence...I am hard to understand.
Still, I am working out a decent goal chart. I have a section for Spanish, a sections for the Gospel, and a section for Boldness - where I put things things like, number of people I contact and conversations I had with members.
So, progress is measurable, and I know that I am progressing.

Yesterday, we went to the edges of our sector.

| A Park in our Sector |
It is farm land, cows, horses, fruit trees, etc. We hiked a mile or so up these mountains (hills). We sang to people, prayed, and shared a message. We also received free grapes and continued.

At the top of the mountain, we met an agnostic 30 year old man that lived alone with his 5 dogs. He built his own house- at the edge of a cliff out of wood. He wasn´t really interested in the Gospel but he wanted a pamphlet.

We have one person with a baptism date roughly.
It's the man who talks of war a lot. I sent you a sketch of him last week.
