Lauren:
I hope you received my last letter that I sent you last Friday evening. You haven't responded to it yet and its Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. in Wyoming. I need you to send me your phone number over in Spain. Mom must have taken the copy of the information on your host family. I plan to call Isaiah today to find out if he has heard from you yet and maybe he has your phone number. Also I need to get him the birthday gift from you.

I tried calling on Saturday but no one was home. I assume he is out hunting in earnest since you are not here. Please call the home phone again and at least leave me your phone number. You could also try calling my cell phone at 1_307_870_5444.

Kayli went to Laramie this weekend to the Wyoming/ Air Force game. Wyoming lost 31 to 24.

Are you interacting with your host family. I'm sure you will probably meet more American kids over there when you go to school which is ok but remember you need to spend most of your time with the Spanish people to get the most out of your trip plus and to become fluent in their culture and language.

I'm spending lots of time at the horse corral doing some of the construction work I never had time for when I originally built the barn. I think about you all the time hoping you will call again or answer my E_Mail. I have to come to my office to E_Mail. I suppose you have to be at school to answer my E_Mail therefore I shouldn't expect you to respond on the weekend when I hope you are out having a great time.

I'm anxious for mom to return next Sunday in the mean time all I can do is stay busy. Adar came home late last night so at least I'm not totally alone. Can't wait to hear back from you!!!!

I'll love and miss you always!

Dad

Hi dad,

It is so nice to hear from you! I was getting discouraged about not hearing from you guys when I kept calling but it happens. I did talk to Isaiah and yes I am ok ask him about my airport experience and that because this computer is hard to write on ( the keys are really different and it is hard to understand how to do it). I had to wait for the first day of school, today, to write you and find your response.

Ok as for my phone number I am going to have to go to my host family´s house for it so I will try to get back on later today. Man there is just so much I want to tell you especially about the cities we visited, the people, my host family, the problems I have had, the classes, and of course the soccer over here but right now I am famished as it is lunch time over here (2:00 pm) and siesta time.

I will come back later today and write. Thank you so much for writing such a complete and long letter it is so nice to hear from you! Write me as much as you can as it is nice to hear from you.

Tell everyone that I love them and can´t wait to hear from them.

I love you guys!
