hi familia!

Yes i got your package! Thank you, the cookies were a hit in the apartment!

I dont think i will need anything else until christmas! And the one thing i want most for christmas is a cookbook. FOr now at least!

I will definately have to take some pictures of Elder Kent for yall, (i swear i said that on purpose) and i am taking a bunch of pictures to make up for the lack of pcitures on my other card.

Well this week... was crazy! ONce again. For the first time i got sick! It wasnt very fun, i was basically in my bed, thinnking that i was having appendicitis problems all over again. But it went away, and i feel fine now. No worries, please. This week was kind of a shot week because of that, and we had some suprise meeting (zone conference) come up. Zone conference was amazing! President summerhays is so incredable, and i felt like what he was teaching is was specifically for me. Also, i had a great interview with him later, and he gave me good advice on recieving revelation and listening to the spirit. That is what i am working on right now. I desire to be in tune with the spirit always, and be able to be guided if needed.

Saturday was good. The two youngest kids in the Cruz family were baptized on saturday (Jorge and Keishlian). It was good, also they are planning on moving to Tampa Bay florida for brother Cruz's work, so basically Simplicio and Silvia are the members we have to work with!!! lol But our ward is so helpful. Saturday night we teach english classes to spanish speakers, but last saturday we also started teaching spanish classes for people in the ward. That will be awesome!!

Sunday was really good. I felt like fasting, so i got a good fast in. But church was great, we had an investigator named Jrge there, and we might set a date for baptism with him this week. I was really excited, because i am really starting to be able to understand spanish. I cant speak it, but i am finally starting to understand natives. Hopefully with time i will get it. This week, starting tonight i am maing the rule that i can only speak spanish in the apartment. NO English! SO that should help.

I am doing really well though. How are you all doing?>??

Love you more than anything!
