10 things I'm grateful for!

well, this week was kind of like last week. the good thing is these past weeks we have been teaching this family. i don't know if i told y'all but their names are luisina, jose, and abel. they are way good people. and they really need the gospel. to be honest, they are the only investigators were they are always there. the mom passed away in February and the jose and all his daughters. they are a great family, and they are learning and are way excited to hear the message. but with them we have been working a lot.....

also, every Wednesday, we go to an even smaller town outside of loberia called tamgueyu. there, we have had a lot of success surprisingly. and we want to try to go 2 times a week now. but just so y'all know how small it is, we already knock every door there. but if not all them answered and also we found some good families there. but it's about 4 or 5 kilometros or in other words it's kind of far. but at least, i will lose weigth... that's good. lol...

but yeah, aside from that it's been normal. we have been trying to find some new people who will be there when we put citas. but yeah. can't complain.

as far as the church went on Sunday. it was fun. we had none of our investigators go, and also none of the youth went that we have been working with . but yeah, it was raining a little so that's always kind of the excuse they throw out. but yeah. this sunday was the Sunday of dropping the cane. i gave the Sunday school class, it didn't turn out as well as i would have liked but oh well, it was from the old testament, called los pastores de israel (the shepherds of Israel). then in sacrament meeting there were 2 talks on diezmo (tithing), and 1 on orgullo (pride). so yeah, it was kind of funny. but yeah.

but like in all things hard there are miracles to be seen if we open our eyes to them. but yeah, this week we are planing for ways to get better success in the work here and so we will see what happens.

but yeah, i actually don't know when is turkey day or i don't know if it passed but happy turkey day..... i think i will list ten thing i am grateful for....

1. my family, the thing i that i truly miss the most of everything. Everything i am, the good and the bad, it's their fault. so thanks family of mine. i love y'all and y'all helped me get this far and taught me by your examples.

2. the scriptures.....because who doesn't want to hear the word of God. and who doesn't want to have the blessing and knowledge that comes with that...they have helped me a lot this past few months.

3. the church.... who doesn't want Gods only true church......( i write that as though He has churches that aren't true..lol)

4. the mission.... I'm learning a lot and am really getting directed in what i want to do when i get back and learning a whole bunch.

5. the branch and my old ward.... this are the people who put up with me in the church, and who guided me and taught me. so thank you all. i miss you all.

6. driving..... probably the thing i miss second most... it sucks not being able to drive and having to watch this people who don't know how to drive do it....

7. temples... i underestimated this one when i was at home, and could go. i always tell the members here when they say "if only the temple were closer we would go more often" that when it's closer it's harder cause you always wind up saying " i will go next week" or tomorrow.

8. my friends and family. this time i put friends before family cause i already talked about my family. but thanks for those of you who have supported me, and have written to me, and to one of my special bros... who just got a girlfriend named nikki.... or is working on that.... keep up the good work.... i miss just chilling with y'all. and i say family cause y'all are my friends... so yeah...

9. for computers that don't freeze and go slow... I'm sure this email will take about 5 minutes to send... cause it's long.... but yeah, I'm grateful for that.

10. I'm grateful to be grateful for so many things... and that God's blessed me, probably more than i deserve. but yeah...

so yeah, that's the list. if you want to see if there is a difference from this year and last year check it out.... but yeah thanks for everything for the love and for the support i love you all and miss you all. but i will see you all latter..

peace out
