Hola Familia,

I will be sure to tell Elder SanJuan a happy birthday. Today is his birthday and we have a few plans. I made sure to tell a lot of members that today is his birthday so that he wouldn't feel bad. He only has a few weeks in the mission and it is already his birthday. I don't want him to get depressed.

I guess I should feel honored to be able to train again, but I do hope that this is the last time I train. It is a lot of responsibility and the last few months of my mission I want to be focused on teaching. SanJuan also loves to talk a ton but not always about the Gospel. Lots of times he starts talking about politics. The thing is though is that he doesn't know anything about Peruvian Politics. I know more about Peruvian Politics. We get along alright though. We were talking about music the other day and I found out he likes country music. He is the first latino that I have met that likes country music. It is kind of cool.

I am glad that Mom did well on her talk. I have some more ''Don't worry Mom'' stories but I will share them some other time.

This week was rough on getting investigators to church. We did not have one investigator in church. We had a ton of people promise us that they would come to church. I called them or went to pick them up on Sunday. One family that I called told me they were going to come but then they never showed up. Another had just shown up drunk at his house. Another one got sick and just things like that kept people from coming. I am kind of getting frustrated with this area because I have never had so much trouble getting people to come to church. I don't know what to do but I will figure something out.

I would love to see snow again. It is starting to get hotter here but my house is staying cold which is perfect. I can't believe that Christmas is almost here and that Thanksgiving has already come and gone. Before I know it I will be at home. President told us that is when changes are. I will be at home on June 21.

Oh, also this week in my ward we had a talent show. It was pretty fun. There were a lot of cultural dances and other fun talents. I did have five investigators show up to that activity. It was fun and all my investigators got to know a lot of members.

Sorry that this weeks email was kind of boring.

Love you lots,
Elder Isaacson

PS. I get all of Harrison's emails. I have heard about all of his crazy experiences.
