dear familythis week was filled with tons of success. me and my companion have so many investigators we have to run from appointmant to appointmant. so its pretty fun, but way hard. yesterday we had to wake up at 5 30 in the morning to go to a meeting with president olsen and the stake, to talk about the zones progress. so we were way tired on sunday. we will have a baptism this saturday. its of a less active family. they were less active. so they were reactivated and now there son that is 12 and 8 are getting baptized. then we have some way cool investigators that will get baptized in 2 weeks. they went to church yesterday and loved it. but at the end one member told them to think about what they were doing and to take there time to get baptized. its a lifelong desicion. so the member was telling them to not get baptized in 2 weeks. so we went to the lesson that night prepared with what to say, and at first they wanted to take theire time, but we had a way spiritual lesson and they all said they will be getting baptized the 19th haha. and after we had to talk to that member and the bishop too. because the member said it before to another investigator and the investigator got scared and never came back. so luckily we were able to save this one. we have seen so many miracles in this area. we were looking for a member and knocked the members house, and it turns out the member doesnt live there anymore but the person who does almost got baptized 17 years ago but the day before the baptism her dad wouldnt let her. so now she wants to get baptized the 26th. and there isnt any problems with her dad because now he is in the spirit world. then also some members helped us out and brought an investigator thats incredible. so we will see when he wants to get baptized. so we are basically running everywhere. but we are loving it. i cant believe the time is going by so fast. in a week i will have 22 months. honestly, i am not ready to go home. it doesnt feel like 2 years. i feel like i need to be out here for the rest of my life. i know it will be a hard day when i take off my plack. i hope you have a good anniversery and 29 years is amazing!! almost 30! the people here are lucky to be married for 5. some of them just dont get married and live together. i met someone who had been living together for thirty years and we asked them why they arent married and they said because they dont need a paper to say that they love each other. haha. i got the 12 days of christmas so i will open them one at a time dont worry. and the kite things that you were talking about mom are called globos. you light them and they float in the air. its pretty cool to see at night, all these lights floating in the air. and of course i will buy everyone a souvineer. but give me ideas of what type of things that you would like. dad i already know what i am going to give you, and i think you will like it. its way way cool. i am buying it for myself also. but i love everyone so much and have a good week.meganyou have to write me megan. i know you husband is home so you dont have all the time in the world but you need to write me!!! haha i love you so much. to an argentine what i just said to you would be dropping the cane haha. love you chau!!Nikkithat was a nasty picture of hailee. she cant go in the toilette thats way sick! haha, but it was a way funny picture. my comp laughed too. and i am sorry to say but i think that kelsey habla mejor español que vos. haha vos means you, they dont use tu here. i love the spanish here. but when i get home i am going to have to speak like a mexican or they wont understand my spanish. i am way excited to talk on christmas too. and dont make me to trunky when i call. i still will have a good month and a half to serve haha.chaukelseywhat!!!!!!!! you watched elf!!!!!! i forgot about that movie haha, that movie is a classic. that will have to be the first movie i see when i get back haha. good job on makin it to the executive embassador thing. that will be good for me when i go to suu. cuz then i can get all the ins haha. you will have to help me out. and if you think you have changed over the last 2 years you will be surprised when you see me haha. i weighed myself and i weigh 15 more pounds and i have lost hair haha. so when i get home i will have to go to the gym a bunch. and i look older haha. but i love ya and have a good day chau!!!
