***Spanish Translation (per Scott):
I don’t know why you want me to speak in Spanish because you won’t understand it, but I will speak a little bit for you guys… Also, I’ve decided that English is more intelligent than Spanish and that Spanish is for the savages. But I’m speaking better each day, I don’t like to practice it much. We always talk in English unless I’m with a missionary that speaks Spanish or when we are talking with someone from another country.
