*Elise sent her letter in Spanish today, she explains why in her letter. I first posted the Spanish version, and then I translated it with Google. The Spanish to English translation is not the best. I tried to clean things up a little but, I am still not sure what she was trying to say in certain parts. We are very proud of her though, and very impressed at how well she is able to speak and write in Spanish.

So, this week will be big for me! It will be six months on my mission!!! To celebrate i'm going to write in Spanish!
My area is very good! It is a small village but chiquito, very nice. I am very excited to be here! My companion is very good, she is full of charity and love, an attribute of Christ that I am working on. It is very funny when we have a goal and our Heavenly Father provides a way to fulfill it. She is a good example for me.

Pues, este semana será grande para mi! Cumpliré seis meses en la misión!!! Para celebrar voy a escribir en español!
Mi área es muy buena! es un pueblecito muy chiquito pero, muy lindo. Estoy muy animado aquí! Mi compañera es muy buena, ella es llena de caridad y amor, un atributo de Cristo que estoy trabajando. Es muy chistoso cuando tenemos una meta y Nuestro Padre Celestial provee una manera a cumplir. Ella es una buen ejemplo para mi.Tenemos pocos investigadores pero, son muy buenos. Hermano Mario es oro, el quiere cambiar su vida muchísimo. Ahorita el es trabajando en la palabra de sabiduría. Yo nunca vio alguien como el en mi misión. El siempre asistir la iglesia y es muy feliz, quiere bautismo, solamente necesita quitar sus adiciones. Su fecha es por 24 de mayo. Estamos orando mucho por el.Los miembros en el barrio son buenos. me siento como tengo mucho tiempo aquí. Estoy muy feliz! Sé que nuestro Padre Celestial tiene un plan para todos las personas en la tierra. Yo recibió un más fuerte testimonio de eso todos los días.Chistosas cosas: En miércoles estábamos caminando cuando yo sentí algo en mi zapato, chicle. y luego yo casi cayo y mire mi zapato y poo poo de un perro...fue horrrrrible. fuimos a una casa de una hermana y limpia mi zapato, guacala! tengo fotos!y en Domingo fuimos a la capilla y mi compañera dijo Mire su mochila! Fue poo poo de una pájaro. no sé pero, creo que los animales le gustan a usar el baño en migo.Estábamos comiendo con el obispo y un montón de papa se cayo de mi boca. que vergüenza! todos se rieron de mi!Y durante una comida nosotros rompimos una termo de agua! El agua no se podía parar! hahaha Fue muy chistoso. Mi compañera tomaba bastante agua este día! Ah las cosas en la misión!¡Amo a todos ustedes!Hermana Riedelbach

We have few investigators but, they are very good. Brother Mario is gold, he wants to change his life forever. Right now he is working on the word of wisdom. I never saw someone like him in my mission. He always attends the church and is very happy, and wants to be baptized, only he needs to remove his addictions. His baptism date is May 24. We are praying a lot for him.
The members in the neighborhood are good. I feel like I have a lot of time here. I am very happy! I know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for all people on earth. I receive a more powerful witness of this every day.
Funny things: On Wednesday we were walking when I felt something on my shoe, like chewing gum, and then I almost fell, I looked at my shoe and it was poo poo from a dog ... it was horrrrrible. We went to a home of a sister and I cleaned my shoe, Gualaca! I have photos!
On Sunday we were going in the church and my companion said look at your backpack! I looked at it and it was poo poo of a bird on my back pack. :( I think that animals like to use the bathroom, on me.
We were eating with the Bishop and a heap of potatoes fell out of my mouth. How embarrassing! Everybody laughed at me!
And during a meal we also broke a thermos of water! The water could not be stopped! Hahaha it was very funny. My companion was soaked in water this day! Ahhh! the things that happen on the mission!
I love you all!

Hurray, Elise! And good work, Candace! Glad to hear about Mario -- we're praying for him too. And "Guacala!" Quizas Ud puede orar que los animales no sienten tan comodos para con Ud...
