Hey all

Things here are going well. Its crazy thinking I have been here for 2 weeks and two days. Time is flying by and I cant wait to get out of here and teach the people in El Salvador. My spanish is improving and I now have the prayers, testifying and can talk in spanish decently! I understand it more than I can speak it but i guess that’s how it goes. Not much is really happening here, just lots of classes learning the language and teaching people.

The funny story for the week - We were teaching an investigator and we were takling about repentance. I was trying to say when we repent we are forgiven and our sins go away, but instead i said when we repent our fish go by. I didnt know how to say they go away so I said adios which is bye. And fish in spanish is pescados and sin is pecados..one of the two or the other way around, I got myself confused now but I said our fish go bye and the investigator looked at me funny and laughed. I sat there and stared at him not knowing what was going on and then he finally explained. I guess we learn by trial and error, huh?

And any pictures you can send me would be great, I can’t wait to get them. I have received several letters and I love getting them from all of you! Ive been getting them at perfect times when I start to get down on myself because of the language and they all lift me up its amazing.

Mom told me about the party and I laughed really hard. It seems like a lot is going on at home. That’s awesome that mom is going to visit Brent, will you have him write me? A letter letter would be good but an email is ok! How were the races, I know you were really happy to go to them hahahahaha. I will always remember the small things in life, especailly now. I miss Air conditioning a lot, our room is 80 degrees and no matter how many time i complain they wont fix it. Its annoying.

Sorry this isn’t very long but I have to reply to tace also. I love you all and miss you all! One of my new favorite scriptures is 2 Nephi 33:6.. I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.

Stay classy all!

Love, Elder Herman
