Well christmas went buy stupendously, i couldnt have asked for anything more. We christmas eve day we worked as normal, found some decent new investigators. THen in the afternoonwe went and had the baptismal service of Gustavo. Everything went perfectly for that. It took two aattempts to get him all the way done, but on the second one we gotterdon! he was freaking heavy! almost all of the water splashed out of the font! my mouth got filled, and it looked like we got baptized Alma style! then for the night we ate with a nearby member family. We ate a version of ham, it was really good, with spaguetti and basically funeral potatos. It was allr eally good. THen in the night me and elder Peña played Monopoly untill about 2 in the morning. THen we woke up at 630 as usual and went to church. It was just sactament meeting. We even had an investigator there, not bad for bing on CHRISTMAS day! so that was really sweet. the after we came back and continued playing monopoly untill it was time for elder peña to call. I fell asleep during the call. ANd then he finished and thats when i called you guys ad you hung up on the first attempt! MAn but i cant beleive how hard it was to speak english at first. Thats basically how all of us speak english to echother here. haha TOday we cleaned the house good and got clothes washed, then in the night im gonna get everything packed up nicely. My next comp is gonna be Elder Offer-hall. Like i said yesterda i will be his second companion, so that means my load just got ALOT heavyier, well relly soon it will be. But im exited for the challenge of the area and everything it will be funand it will be good hard work! I lvoe you all. I hope everyone had a great christmas and i hope you all have fantastic new years. Take care and please keep praying for me i surly do need them! ANd Family, have problems?

Ok so this week a good missionary week. I got te the are at about midnight Tuesday. Its actually farly big. ANythings bigger than ciudad Aleman anyways. But its really cold here when its cold, i can see my breath right now. ITs been raining for the last 24 hours and that makes it really cold. THis week has been alot of working really hard. We hvae been contacting alot and knocking alot. Im still working on getting a hang of the new area. Its alot bigger than ciudad aleman. THere are actually people ahere and there ae even traffic lights. THe people so far have been pretty nice. It has been the holidays. BUt its beeen fun. Here we wil be able to work alot faster the in ciuadad aleman. Meaning we sould be able to more easily find more investigators and process them adn decide who are the ones that are reasy and who need a litle more time to ripen. Elder Hoffer-Hall is from Las Vegas. He is a really smart kid. He was studing Spanish at byu before the mission. He got a million grants to study there i guess they even paid him a little. SO maybe a little of that can rub off on me seems that im gonna need it way to soon jajaja. THe branch is really small. There are a million inactive peopl here and only about 30 go to church regularly. SO that could be a little bit of an impedament. SO lots of working to do. Im not really sure how im goin gto do everything that needs to be done. I really hope to be able to raise branch strength and attendance. It all just starts one bite at a time. I really hope we can be blessed to baptized lts of good strong converts here so that they will stay and be good strength to the branch. I really hope everything goes good here. Seems that its goin to be my last area. The members that i hvae met so far are pretty sweet. I just keep praying that we will see the progress that i hope to see. So please keep praying for me and supporting me, i cant do any of this without you help! THanks for everything i love you guys! Take care!
