Hello once again,

That's sweet that Elder Parkin and LeBlanc both lived in the same building... that probably means that I've seen LeBlanc, though the building is big and I see people I've never seen before in there everyday. And wow, it is a small world. What's the name of that guy, Elder Bullcreek wants to know. Chances are he'll know who he is, but I don't remember much about them.

I'm sorry to hear Grandpap is doing so bad, but at least someone is taking care and looking at his feet. I hope all goes well, and I'll be sure to remember him in my prayers. And I'm sorry to hear about the death in the family, I've been praying for everyone. Also let Grandma and Grandpa Dennis know that I am getting their letters, as well as Grandma Karen´s, and muchas gracias! I love you all, thanks for the support.

I'm glad Haley liked it out at BYU-I, I'm sure she's going to love it. Just remember Haley, no getting married until I get home! haha And as for Cole, I hope he starts feeling better! Oh my goodness, that star name is Awesome! I was laughing so hard when I read that. I wanna know where he came up with that craziness haha! And Robyn, I'm so glad to learn that some old habits just never die...

Thanks for the shaving tips, they've helped out alot. I used the electric before I got you letter and could already see improvement, so I used the electric razor for 2 days and my skin was back to normal, and I started shaving normal again, but after 3 days it was starting to creep back again, so today I used to electric and hopefully it'll go away again... I just have really sensitive skin I guess. Now as for the packages...

You got gyped big time on the 2 day package last week, I got it on Wednesday. I dunno whats up with that. But the Easter package got to me on Saturday. Oh, and thanks for the letter... which I got 2 days after getting the package. Um, don't bother doing that again, I would just get the package slip at the same time as the letter anyways. Its our districts mailbox, not just mine, which the district leader has to get, and its not like he can stop in at all hours of the day.

But something scary happened this week, we officially became the oldest district in our zone. The last district took off for Argentina Monday morning, and we're the big dogs now. Thats just a scary thought right there, to know that the next "Hasta Ver" will be ours. Thats basically the going away thing the zone holds when a district leaves, its title is taken from the spanish lyrics to the hymn "Til We Meet"... I think thats what it is in spanish. By the way, its so much better in spanish. By next Friday we'll have our flight plans! Craziness!

I saw the Jessees last tuesday evening, and was able to get a picture with them Sunday night before they left. I gave Sis. Jessee your email address, and she said she was gonna send you the pictures. So hopefully you'll hear from her soon, once they're all settled in in Romania.

Also another tidbit of information: I can roll my R's!! That was super exciting yesterday, when after 6 weeks of pure try I was actually able to do it. That is definitely the hardest part of all this spanish business, without a doubt. They rest is coming just fine, I know that the Lord is blessing me. Its super hard right now though, because my companion absolutely stinks at spanish. It stems from the fact that his mind is more scrambled than yours, and can't remember anything. For example, when he got here, he couldn't remember the address he's been living at his whole life to write a letter home. So thats a very trying experience, to try and teach with someone in spanish who can barely introduce himself after 6 weeks. But I'm stronger at spanish because of it, and trying as hard as I can to get him to get it.

I hope all is going well at home, I love you all!

Elder Dennis
