Hey
Check my bank account out. I am transferring some cash, because I am going to order the leather scripture covers (as his prices go up every month or 3 weeks) and it takes some time for them to get done. I also really am trying to save money. Here in Ayacucho we have 2 days that we cook for ourselves and its not cheap.

Anyways the zone now knows about your warning to never ever ever offend or disappoint President Salas. We actually got to see a picture of the family at Zone Conference. His daughters it appears are married to the sons of Elder Zivic the 70. Yeah. So I am excited for him to come so I can meet him and ruin his hopes and expectations of who I am (cuz Im definitely not as good as Dad, Sarah, Alyson, and Mom)

"WHOA! Alyson, how'd you DO that?" very Tate and Porter... Congrats kiddo. "Oh remember my son and learn wisdom in thy youth, ye learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God."(for a translation from Spanish I hope thats right) I actually this week went through my old scriptures and marked the scripture masteries in my Spanish set along with other good ones, and stories and stuff. I love the Book of Mormon. I love Ether 12, Alma 37, 42, 32, 2nd Nefi 2, 9, 31-33 Mosiah 2-5... yeah. It was really interesting the things that I had marked in my old scriptures that I had never even remembered marking. It was a very revelating experience. Right now I am working on finishing reading in Spanish, and then I am going to go through and really study deep the book of mormon. I think that this is what is meant by the secret treasures that we can gain by reading the words of the prophets. Its not just to read its to scan and think and feel what they meant when they wrote those words for me.

Wow these past two have been kind of preachy. but Its what I am feeling... I dont know. Could be one of those great changes

Well family this week was kind of low, because I was sick for two days, and had the crud afterwards. Its not swine flu, it was just a cough but you get the idea. Its gonna be great to baptize this Saturday, cuz thats about all that we did this week was work with Facundo. Yeah. but this week we have to work a lot more because we have to make up for this last week. Well gotta go work
Love you all
Elder Ludlow
PS Alyson dont forget to take lots of pictures in Hawaii
