Sister X is Actually Sister Pullan

Dear Dad,

The bus salesman are still hard at it here in Argentina. They do exactly what you described. I guess some things haven´t changed in the last 25 years. They sell stuff in the trains too. My announcement in the bus was thrilling, but not terribly effective in proselyting terms. I handed out the new mini pass a long cards about eternal families, but no one wanted an appointment. I want to try again this week though, if Sister X is up to it.

I´ll share more in the family email, but Sister X is actually Sister Hannah Pullan from Payson, Utah. She is the second oldest in a family of five kids-- three girls and two boys just like us. She studied art at BYU before her mission. She described her artwork as glorified paper snowflakes--- apparently she draws pictures and then cuts out the shapes. I wish she had a picture to show me. I haven´t yet asked her if we have any mutual acquaintances from BYU. She speaks very little Spanish, but she has that fresh out of the MTC spirit of wanting to work hard and share the gospel. We practiced contacting this morning-- she impressed me because she kept trying despite several rejections and struggling to speak. I noticed though that she seems to soften people´s hearts. When people realize she doesn´t speak Spanish well, they listen harder and are more polite. It´s kind of cool. I think we will work well together.

[Ellis said she would write more in another family letter, but we didn't get one!?]

Love,
Ellis
