Letter #8

 We didn't go to the beach because it was raining, but we went to his house for a good meal still. (He and his companion were invited to go to the beach for some steaks for New Years.) 

The work has been a little tough with the holidays bringing people all over. They have lots of celebrations here, I don't always know what is what. 

I think we go to a font for baptisms, but I don't know. ( I asked if baptisms were done in the ocean or in a font in a church.) The building is super tiny for church, but that's life.

 Laundry is good enough, it all seems clean at least. ( He is hand washing everything and hanging it up to dry.) 

There are lots of stray dogs, but they're none too bothersome. 

The English classes are rough because some people have been to more classes than others so it's hard to know what to teach, but it's a mix between members and investigators.

 Elder Marquez was really excited about the stocking, (We sent a Christmas stocking full of presents to Elder Finlinson and his companion, Elder Marquez.) I don't think he has tried the warheads yet. I would say more, but I'm short on time...we couldn't find an open internet cafe.But I am safe and will write more next week. 

Love y'all,

Elder Finlinson
