Tell everyone Thank you for the letters and cards I didn't realize how important mail was to missionaries! The language is coming to me I can pray give a talk teach most of the lessons and bear my testimony! I don't know how to have a common conversation but I have the important stuff!  We have a tradition in our branch that the district that is leaving preforms a musical number in sacrament but since its just me and my two companions and none of us are very good singers I am playing the flute tomorrow! I am so nervous I forgot how to finger some of the low low notes so I am just bringing them up and octave and all that. I thought you would be proud.  
Ya'll are the best parents in the world! thanks for being amazing!
love Hemana Stoddard
