Wow, Dad thanks for all of the work you did for my school next semester.  It makes me feel a lot less stress to not have to register for all of my classes.  The classes that you went over with Paula Alger really look great.  I think you just chose perfect in every one.  The english class sounds great, and I'm actually really excited to have that engineering class too.  Wow, I just feel way excited about everything, just thinking about studying again.  It is going to be awesome.  Oh and without a doubt I'm going to be running.  I think I might just die if I wasn't, so whatever I need to do for that let me know.  I'm going to come home a week early too, just so I'm not starting out the year way behind in all of my classes.  I need to tell Presidente, but do you think it would be possible to come home the 23rd, or do you think I should come a couple of days earlier.  I have made the decision cut it a little short though, just to get home for classes.  I'm just way excited, and a little nervous too, but its going to be great.  I can't believe Cam broke 4 min in the mile!!!  Tell him he is my hero!!  I can't wait to get back running again too.  So I guess Shay already got married or is getting married soon?  How crazy is that!  Is Shay running right now too, or what is going on there.  I really enjoyed all of your letters, and I'm just really excited with everything that is going on. 
            Here the work is going great.  This week has been pretty crazy with the changes and everything, and practically everyday going to the hospital to visit ELder Sanchez.  He left the hospital Wednesday though, so he is with us in the office.  He is going to be the new secretary of registros.  Why am I always stuck with the sick Elders?  Thats ok, I'm going to start training a new financiero next week, and I'm really excited for it.  Its been a great experience here in the office, but I'm ready to get out in the field again.  I would really like to train again because it is so awesome when you have a new missionary that is willing to give his all in the work.  I went proselyting with Elder Guzman, a new Elder that entered the field Thursday, and it was great.  We took of walking way hard, you just got to love being with Elders fresh out of the MTC.  We'll see what happens though.  We have a new investigator that is different than any other investigator that I've had.  He came up to us in the temple, and said he had been looking for the Elders, and wanted to be taught.  He has already read up to Mosiah in the Book of Mormon, and before we had even started the lesson he was already sharing his testimony about the truth of the Book of Mormon and how much it had changed his life.  I really couldn't believe it.  The crazy thing is he has never even attended the church.  So we challenged him to be there with us on Sunday, and he wants to be baptized the 5th of April, so we are going to do all we can to help him achieve his goal.  We also have a new investigator named Rosendo that we have gone a few times, and this week he read his chapter in the Book of Mormon, and he said as he was reading alone in his cuarto he saw the corners of the book glowing, he feels that it could be an answer from God, and we explained that God answers our prayers in different ways.  He completely changed his actitud and now is really excited to turn his life around in the ways of the Lord.  It was really an awesome lesson yesterday.  We have an investigator Christian who is awesome too,  he didn't make it to church last week, but his mom and sister came, and he even invited his girlfriend to go.  He didn't go because he came down with quite a fever, and asked if we could give him a blessing.  it was awesome because the next day when we called him the first thing he said was "thanks elderes for healing me."  It was awesome, and it is really amazing how we have the power to actually heal people through our faith and their faith too.  It was another awesome experience, and has helped strengthen my testimony of the priesthood even more. 
            Things are just going awesome, and couldn't be happier to be here in the Lords work.  I'm coming down to only 5 months, I just don't know how to feel about that.  Thanks for everything you guys do for me, and I always love hearing from you.  Keep going strong, and I'll talk to you soon.
