The Testimony Grows!

This picture was taken when we took Josh to the MTC. Logan is pointing to Josh's nametag and "dork dot" (the dot indicating a new arrival).

The second letter received from Josh is shorter than the first! BUT, it has good news. He is doing very well in Spanish (THANK YOU ALLEN TUCKER!), and he reports that he is now thinking in Spanish. (He also is chatting up the Mandarin speaking missionaries every chance he gets.) He feels short on TIES and requests more ties be sent to him (they are almost as good as money). He reports that he was recently trading ties with an Elder from Hungary who spoke no English (Josh, ever the trader, probably got the better end of that deal too!).

Josh reports that it is strange "cus I have no cell, no phones, no way of staying so connected with mi familia and friends."

Josh is working hard, learning (and evidently loving) the language, and seems to love those in his district (though we know little about any of them ... no names or anything ... just that they are all "a big group of studs and studetts").

His letter is best summed up by this quote:

Jesu Cristo es el salvador!
Jesus is the Christ!
