Time is going by quickly

ok this week was actually pretty good. yeah the questions y'all sent were kind of hard to answer but yeah.

but time is going by really quick now, it's kind of weird... but we found this awesome new family, and so it will be cool to see them progress a little. also we had some investigator in church so that was good. with some blessing, we will have a couple of baptisms, right before i go home...jejeje.... but yeah. aside with that, the investigators are good and we are finding a good amount of people.

but yeah, i guess the funny experience of the week was we were teaching this guy, his name is mario, and his drunk friend came and kick us out... it was funny cause he got mad and broke like his own plants and stuff. but yeah. so we will just have to teach him in a better place... the good thing is that he lives by a lot of members and so that's good... but yeah, aside from that, it was a normal week. not really anything out of the ordinary. but yeah, so that's that.

but about my travel info..... don't know so, like i said, y'all will probably know before me... but they stole an encomienda and so it could have been in there. i will have to try to find out. but yeah. so that that.

in newbery, we have had a lot of success with menos activos, and they are most like part families. but it's cool to see how the ward is progressing, just when everyone is on the same page, and has a good to reach... for our mission is to have at least 6 stakes in the mission, and with that comes the temple...but it's good just to see everyone go hard with that.

but yeah that's about all i got, so thanks for the love and the support i love y'all and will see y'all latter. peace out

Christmas - Ponder on the reason for it all

well, the good news and the bad news for you all is that this Saturday i will be calling you all so i will keep the letter short so that we have lots to talk about when i call.

but actually the funny thing is, right now, I'm writing from mar del plata caisamar. we had a super p-day and i had to come here. it's way cool to walk an old area. the bad thing is that i don't have a chance to pass by some of my friends before i go back to loberia. but, oh well, it is what it is.

so this week has been interesting, church the assistance dropped a ton, and there were only 10 in sacrament meeting, to be honest, don't know why it dropped, normally more people come during Christmas but oh well....

we have been working with 2 of our investigators, trying to get them to get baptized but we just need to be patient, they are willing, just don't really understand why.... but they will get there....

so yeah, aside from that it was a normal week, we worked and did what we had to do but it's harder this time a year cause everyone gets way into Christmas gifts and shopping, but forget the reasoning to it all. happens everywhere i think. but yeah...

so i am way excited for Christmas and new years to be over so everyone will kind of simmer down and so we can teach, and find people a little bit easier. but I'm also way happy to call you all and talk to the fam... so i will try to call at 11 but i will call first, one of this days, to work out the little details.....sorry that's mainly for my mom.... whoops.. but oh well......

so yeah, um i have a couple of funny things that happened but i will tell in the phone call...... but yeah, so mainly i just want to wish everybody a merry Christmas... and celebrate it good, and have fun.... but also try to take a step back and really ponder on the reason for it all... i promise it will be a little more joyus.....(i think i made up a new word but oh well) so yeah, know that I'm way grateful to be here, and i love the mission... so thanks for the support, and for the love, i miss you all and am with you in spirit... so don't forget to send me gifts.... lol... nah just playing... it's all about Christ. but alright see y'all later and peace out

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
