Wel lthis will be a quick little letter because i got LOTS O LOTS of things to do.
sometimes i feel like i have NO NO NO time at all. hhahahahahah.
Well great week this week. So it has bee npretty stinkin cold here. Well i just want to
tell you about a kind deed that a family did for mi that ment soooo much to mi. It wasnt
somethinhg tooooooo crazy but it helped mi in so many ways. So there is a family in the
Ward called the Dominguez family. They are pretty well off. And i love this family. We
get along vary vary well. And so i talked to a doctor about a week ago cause im still
sick and he told mi i have Broncitus and it is causing mi to have Asthma too. hahahha
Crazyness huh. So he gave mi a list fo medicines i needed to buy but i had not gotten
them yet and this family always is worried about mi. So on sunday i wsa talking to them
and the mom asked if i was better and i explained my situation and she asked for the list
of medicine and ya. then later on that night we got a phone call and it was her and she
had gone to the farmacia and bought ALL my medicines for mi by surprise. and they costed
alot.
Sometimes as missionaries we dont realize how much people care about us and
love us. WE spend alot fo time thinking, ah i dont have my family with mi, my life is
hard right now, i dont feel much love. But i dont think i have ever felt so much love by
people i so little know. It really showed mi the true meaning of service and love.
WEll this week was great. WE had the mission Christmas Conference. Funny thing happened.
So They were doing a little contests and 2 elderes won ties that have our mission name on
it. And everyone else was bummed that we didnt get them then all the sudden the
asistantes and office elders ran through the doors with santa hats on and gave us all
ties and a CD…………Right when it happened i felt like i was on the OPERA SHOW when
she does HER FAVORITE THINGS show and everyone in the audience gets everything.
hahahahhahahaha. i yelled, ¨this is just like the opera show, ya¨ …….side
note………..this stays as a secret that i watched opera before the mission, dont want
my cradability to go down as a man. hahahahhaha.
But the rest of the conference was SWEEEEEEEET. WE all learned to much. one thing tha
struck mi was a phycologist came and talked about when we get disanimated or un excited
or down in the mission. Its because we choose to. We go through a process and choose to
do it. I have learned its always way eaisier to ave a ¨pity party¨for mi and get down
then to attack the problems and overcome them. But God will only help us if we attack our
problems and put all our power into it and then he will help us.
WEll this work is true and we are workng hard to baptize alot in this month to have a
¨white christmas¨. THanks for everything and please pray for my investigators more
then anything…..im fine….good health and all. but if you could shoot an prayer for my
investigators so that they all can get baptized, i and they would appriceite it. THanks
for all. Love you guys lots.
Claire……..i have not got that packege you sent a while ago. But i sent you a packege
like 2 weeks ago. email mi when you get it.
mom and dad. sent a packege home like 2 weeks ago. let mi know when you get it.
Love you all long time

Well this week was great. We had fun
So the weeks are flying by and im learning and the Spirit is teaching mmi alot. Well well well. To start. I hate this because i get here to the computer and i forget everything.
So this week we had the zone leader counsol in veracruz on Friday. It was fun. We had to go up 1 day before to be able to be there on time on Friday. So we stayed over night there in the offices with all the other zone leaders and played soccer that night with everyone…..the mexicans are born with the ability to play…..so its not fair…..i just fun around like a tall crazy white kid knocking people over. Hahahahaha. Thats why i dont play this sport. Haqhahaha. Anyway then had consejo from 8am to 2pm. It was great. I LOVE these . wE learn sooooo much. There are miricles happinning in the mission. For the month of november we reached 262 baptisims……….wow………that is because we are all beliveing in ourselves and having faith that we can. Its great. The principle FAITH itself is changing my life and the mission. JUST BELIVING.
Im getting over my sickness pretty good so that is good. But it just wont go away completally….its like a pesty youngest brother that wont leave you alone……oh wait…i was that brother…..hahahahahaha oops-. ïŠ
So this week Jorgey got confirmed. So that was good. The zone didnt to to good this last week but this week we are going to rip it up. This week a girl named Elisa is going to getr baptized. She is the sister of an investigator………her sister Denisse that gave us the referrence wantsto get baptizedbut cant because she is not married and so her sister is. She is GOLDEN. She just loves the gospel and everything it has to offer andis so excited about it. She is 23 and finshed her major and just hangs out with her friends but wants to find something more in life and how to have fun but holely(if thats how you saw it) hahahaha. Ingles is terrible. Hahahaha.
Will let you know how it goes. Honestally there have been lots of miricles happining and i cant tell you how much it is just having faith and beliving and then doing and the Lord does the rest. Well sorry its short but i gotta run. I love you all sooooo much and hope you all enjoy the holidays and just eat up this time to do some service for someone else. You wil find more happiness and wil have more succes if you forget yourself and help someone else have sucess. Thanks for that example mommy and daddy. Shake and bake yall
Love you all long time

i cant even believe it is going to be dicember again. i remember last one i eas still in my first area and couldnt speak a lick of spanish……well i still cant speak but its flowing. hahahahahah.
So i dont have much time quickly. So this week passed like crazyness. WE had changes and im staying and going to kill my comp. hahah he is going home at the end of this change and so i dont know if i will stay anothe after…..wooooo a long time in the celestial kingdom….or they will take out both missionaries….but who even knows. its far away. hahaha. So about it being the spirit of Christmas……it kinda actually feels like it for a little bit here. mmom and dad i gotta buy a sweater cause luego it gets wayyy cold. and at night i wear my thermals. thanks fo those little gifts of joy. hahaha. But im still not feeling th Christmas yet becuase ……we havent made our paper tree for our house we ae going to put on our wall….whats a anvidad wiithout a tree. hahahaha. 
So for Thanksgiving we did divisions and Elder Judd came here with mi and my convert Sonia made us the BEST(no offense mommy and daddy) thanksgiving dinner ever. since turkey casi doesnt exist alot here. We ahd the good ole pollo(chicken). We started off with canalope wrapped in ham(never had thought of that cobination) but it was good. Then on to the Speghetti Verde(Speghetti like the states, tamato sauce, doesnt existe here, its made with like a salse) sooooooo good. then to a little cassarole of patatoes then to the chicken and then topped off with Pay de Queso. And to drink………MARTINELLIS…oh ya i
said it….MARTINELLIES. haleluja. miricles do existe. hahahah but m y convert rocks and we are going to eat christmas dinner with her. She is the one that her husband is living in canada and got baptized there.
Well this week we baptized a niña of 9 years and she is great. her dad is not a membe YET. But she is so stinkin cute. And a abunch of her famliy came form veracruz to watch her baptisim. Great to see another one of Gods children enter into the waters of baptisim.
Right now we are teaching a boyfriend of a member and he loves music. he plays in a Jarocho band(veracruzen band) and plays and instrument called the JARANA. Right now on Preparation days he is teaching min how to play it. its like a ukulele but with 8 strings and…..cooler. ahahahahhaa. but its a way to his heart is though the music. On satruday night we had the choir presentation of ^Greater then us all^ and her went along with 36 new references we got from just that one night. It was great to see the members be soo happy and excited about inviting friends to come and learn more about the church. So we are going to see what the Lord does with these people.
The Lord has blessed this area and im excited about what is coming in Christmas time. I know that if we work diligentally that the Lord will bless us with a white christmas…..baptisims……true converts. I love this chruch and all the blessings and happiness it brings to us. sorry it ws short but no time. Love you all ans thanks for the love and support.
Mommy and daddy… the only thing i want is a little thing to hold oil for blessings. I lost mine. Preferible a silver one. Have mel go help pick out a cool one. I will def get the packege after christmas cuase conference is next week on like tues or wed. But other then that just ties. cool ones. But nothing . im good to go. Happy as can roll. Thanks for all that you have done for your pesty son thus far.
Love you all long time
