How many cucarachas live under YOUR bed?

Dear Family,

Yeah, cleaning the apartment this morning involved the slaughter of some unwanted monsters under the bed. Luckily it was my companion's bed - mine was clean.

Again, I only have a little time left, but at least I got those pictures off first.

This week was a lot of work. We're teaching a 9-year-old named Andy. His grandma is Marina, who was baptized about 4 weeks ago. Andy's parents haven't been the best example for him, so his behavior is unacceptable. Unfortunately, because of that, his parents barely accept him. For the last two weeks, he has come to church (on foot) by himself, carrying his own copy of the Book of Mormon and his grandmother's hymnbook. He's making changes. He isn't perfect by any means, but his mother was so impressed that she is starting to change her behavior as well. Sometimes it's hard to see progress - especially in the lessons - but when the same people who talked about all his mistakes and problems begin to talk about the virtues he's showing, it makes my heart sing. His mom and grandmother used to talk to us about psychiatric help that he needs. But the changes have come naturally as Andy has just tried to be better. He's trying to be something that nobody every told him he was before. There is hope. Change is possible. The Atonement of Christ has the power to solve anything if we just come to Him with full purpose of heart. Amazing. Don't you love it?

Love,
Elder Withers
