So sorry again for not writing a long email....tell jace and and aaron and jackie sorry for not writing emails to them. but i will next week. Im glad you got my letter. i havnt recieved anything you sent yet. hopefully it will be here today. I havent been at home all day, so i'll check when i get home later today.

Elder Auna

ps. oh yeah.....sister sanchez and couple other sister missionaries caught me singing in the primary room the other day when i was on the piano. I was singing oh my soul hunger.....you should have seen their faces.... they were in shock with a smile on their faces.... it was funny.

Well, sis. snachez and the sisters told pres. and my zone leaders....and are making me sing for zone conf. Thats what i get for not making sure nobody is around. Plus my comp....always tells the members how good i sing. Even though i tell him not to say that. dont worry im embracing the oppurtunity to sing...with a grin. you know my nomral grinning face.

To make you a little happy i put an attachment on here with two pictures. One is when i first got here and the other two weeks ago. You can see the weight change in both pictures. In a couple of weeks i'll send more. Ive lost almost 20lbs so far. Its been slow and steady. Although the members feed us alot...im still losing weight, its cool. mainly because of all the walking weve been doing. Elder nash bike is still in the bike shop... so weve been walking or catching ride . everything is good.

Dont worry about the weight ok. i know you say you dont worry. but im jus reminding you not to get worried.

I'll tell more in my next letter home.

loveyahs
