August 24th

Well, new comp and new area and everything is going great. We got to go to the temple today so that was a blessing to be in the house of the Lord for a while. The temple grounds in this temple are beautifull. I am still getting used to the area, it is a lot different then my others. It is more poor and there are a lot of alleyways so it is hard to learn the area. It is right on the river. My comp, Elder Moreno from Mexico is awesome. He is a great missionary and works hard. I am learning a lot from him. We only speak English cause he has a test coming up for his english certification so I am helping him a lot with his english. It is nice to hear actual spanish being spoken it has helped my accent a lot having more clear spanish reguarly. We are teaching a lot of families right now which is great. All of them need to get married before baptism so we are working on that right now.

It is my first branch and the branch is kind of a mess. The leaders dont really want to do anything. E. Moreno and I do a lot and it will be hard to handle all of it after E. Moreno leaves. After the Temple we went to El Conde where all the tourists go to buy things. there is a lot of cool things and a lot of old colonial things too and old catholic churches that were way cool. I have some good pictures but I will have to upload them next week.

I am learning how to teach very simply right now as we have some investigators that are slower. It is amazing how simple the gospel can be and the little knowledge we need to be able to follow the path. Well I hope everything is going well for everyone and that everyone is happy. Count your many blessings and you will truly see how many blessings that we receive for nothing. Love you all so much.

con amor,

Elder Holmes
