Hello family how are you doing?  I have good news, I´m starting to feel better, because I was sick for awhile, but now I feel a lot better.  I couldn´t even talk for like 4 days it was really hard to make contacts but now I can finally speak again YAY!  Also I caught my first fish today!  We went fishing with a member today and we caught some fish and put them back out in the water.  I had been fishing before, but I never actually pulled a fish out of the water until today.  We also cut open a soda bottle and caught some little fish inside of that, it was pretty cool.  Then I started skipping some rocks and it was pretty cool.

We found a really cool investigator named Dani, actually I had known him since Elder Castañeda was here, but recently we have been teaching him and he is really receptive.  It looks like he wants to get baptized but we are going to have to wait a few weeks, because he got a new job and works on Sundays.  He still needs to go to church and get to know the members before he can be baptized.  

I am almost done reading the New Testament in English. I think I am going to start reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish again after I finish.  I want to invite all of you to start reading the Book of Mormon again, because it really grows your testimony of the Church.  I have felt the spirit very strongly since I´ve been on my mission, and I have a firm testimony that I know that this is the true church restored on the Earth.  

I love you guys tons! 

Love,

       Elder Hirschi
