Hola familia,

First off, I have completed one year in my mission. How crazy is that? It has gone so fast. Before you know it I will be on an airplane home. I have learned and grown so much in just one year. I can't even imagine how much more I will learn in one more year. I can't wait to learn it all. For my one year mark I didn't do anything special. I was going to burn my shirt but did not have any time. I will just burn it this week. I also am going to buy Trix cereal to celebrate. I saw it in the store the other day and told myself I was going to buy it to celebrate one year.

Sorry Kenzie, but it looks like you will be doing the dishes for 2 weeks. I didn't see hardly any of that game. I saw about half of a few of the games, but not the one against Columbia. I didn't even see one minute of the semi-final or the third place games where Peru played. I knew the score though from everyone screaming and setting off fireworks. Peru ended up taking third place. That is really cool that the US women won the world cup. You don't hear anything about women's soccer here. They don't care at all about women's soccer.

I can't believe that they legalized gay marriage in the whole country. How dumb is that? It is good though that the church has sent out the statement on the standard of marriage.

My week was pretty normal. My comp has gotten a lot better at teaching and can almost teach on his own. I put him to the test last night when I got sick for the last 3 lessons that we taught. He had to teach all three of them on his own basically. I felt so awful that I couldn't even focus. I had a bad headache and an upset stomach. On our way home, I ended up puking in someones flower bed. They will have a suprise for them in the morning. But, don't worry Mom, I am feeling a lot better now. It has pretty much all passed.

We had a couple new investigators in church today. I can keep getting new people to come to church but I can't seem to get investigators to come back. I don't know what the problem is. I have at least 8 investigators with at least one attendence but only one with more than that. I am going to focus in these 8 people this week to get them to come back to church. I just don't know why they won't come back. It makes me kind of frustrated. Hopefully we can get them all to come to church this week.

It is starting to get colder here. I am using a sweater almost everyday. This week, the ''rain'' started. It just made everything really muddy. My shoes and bottem part of my pants get so dirty walking through the street. It should be like this until about mid September.

I still haven't got my package but assume that it is just waiting there in the offices. I should get it soon.

I hope you have another great week,
Elder Isaacson
