THANKS SOO MUCH FOR THE PACKAGE MY FAMILY!! OH MY GOODNESS THANKS SOO MUCH!! I may or may not have teared up a little bit just to have support from my family! Over and over again here its so hard we work and work and don't have much support from anybody but I have my wonderful and amazing family thanks soo much!!

This week!

Gosh so many things happened this week that I want to talk about but I can never remember!

1. We had crab for the first time here and it was good! But really different! I made it a goal for me to always bear my testimony in fast and testimony meeting! The 3rd time in a row I bore my testimony! I hope it was good! But I don't know!

2. This week we had the opportunity to give blessings to 2 people. Blessings are hard not only the names but just the Spanish and what to say in Spanish you know! I love love love giving blessings! It just always reminds me how true this gospel is and how lucky we are to have it! One was in a car wreck! There is a picture! The other was Fernanda Nath!

3. This week we didn't get attacked by too many dogs thank goodness! But that's okay! I am just so scared of them! haha

4. We have 3 investigators right now and I am going to tell you about one of them...

His name is Alex and he has a good heart. He wants to change and it's just awesome! When the people read El Libro De Mormon and everything I love it ! We were talking and he was talking about weird things with the devil and stuff and it was freaking me out.. and then he said that he feels really weird in the house of his aunt which lives next door and so we ended our leccion which was about la ley de Castidad and went over to the house of the aunt.. okay.. this isn't funny anymore! When we went to her house I seriously thought she was Bathidla Bagshot from Harry Potter! Like exactly.. not very old but was exactly... she didn't talk.. and she gave us this creepy look, it was really weird. It was total Harry Potter. But, yes I didn't have a wand! But yes it was very scary! I said can we come in and she didn't say anything and, we went in and we sat down. She just looked at me she still hasn't said anything! I was like freak... haha but then she started crying! and I said are you okay.. and she was in a car wreck, that's why she is the way she was. Gosh it was soo scary! We are teaching her later this week!

5. I had the great opportunity to finish the book of Mormon! It was soo cool to finish it 2 times here in my mission!

FAMILY THANKS soo much for the package it meant the world!!

Love
Elder Hammond
I gave a blessing here! Alejandro
