December 20,2010





Hello My family!! Well I guess you all found out I bought a ping pong table this week!! haha Im taking it back soon though because no one can beat me at home and its pretty lame but It makes one good mission story uh.! This week was super sweet I really liked it.. We are still in finding mode but Nick is making some amazing progress! He actually read alittle of the book of mormon and we set a baptismal date with him for Jan 8th and this is actually looking really good!! He came to all of church yesterday and met alot of members, He really enjoyed it so that was really cool! Also we found some new investigators. A couple weeks ago we were tracting with one of our young men for like 15 min. And at the end of the 15 min we had to go to our dinner apointment so we decided to do one last house! And she asked what we wanted and I just said were here to talk about God and Jesus Chirst. Then she told us to come back next saturday and we could talk! So We did but she didnt have time last saturday so I thought man she doesn't want us but we went back 2 days ago and her and her husband?? possible husband, Invited us In! So we talked to them alot about the plan of salvation because they didn't wanna hear anything about that joe smith guy haha so we taught a 2nd lesson and it was great! We have a return appointment Next week and they might come to church!! This week was really good I liked it alot! The area is finally looking alittle better which is so nice for me to look at! Yesterday in church I saw that lady again who called mom to talk about me and how her daughter is in my ward!! I think mom remembers but It's weird to see her again because Im still in my area hahah so that was pretty funny talkin to her a bit!! Well christmas should be pretty exciting. we'll be spending the whole day with the Austins and Im excited because I love them alot! On a bad note my foot isn't getting any better and neither is my ring worm :S booo haha kinda sucks because tracting kinda hurts when I walk but I'll be find! And the ring worm, freak, is just spreading all over my body even if i use the cream that they told me to use haha figures! But i'll stick with the hurt foot and ring worm if we continue to have success haha no lie!! Portugues is hard haha and annoying that I can't speak what I want or understand everything I want, but It is a continued process so it'll be alright! The Lord called me to Mass to learn portugues and spanish and he'll help me so I WILL learn these languages! I hope everything is going well at home! From the letters and package I recieved sounds pretty good! Thanks again I figure the package is from one of you haha didn't say who but I've waited to open it so no worrries But that is all I have from this week just tracting in a winter wonderland (without the snow just freezing) I love you all until saturday!
