Business as usual...

Halo papi
que tal?

WEll it certainly sounds like you had an interesting week. A big scary drive to ellensburg... bet that was exciting. So i guess that officially ups the number of spanish speakers in the family to 4 now, correct? Gav, Val, Me and Craig's new wife. I am all for that.

Anyways, life here is going good. We have some awesome investigators that we are teaching right now. Specifically Nora and her family, as well as william. Hopefully we can have a white christmas (with some baptismal dates) and so we will work hard for that. My comp is doign good. We get along just fine, im just trying to help his spanish improve, etc.

But yeah, that is life for now. I hope all is well for you and that you have a wonderful week, just think, a few more days and youll be free of those monsters! lol

love you

am so confused. The whole no snow, no cold, thing is totally in my head... even with the christmas lights, decorations etc, i think snow is an absolute requirement for me to feel like it is that time of year.

Well as for me, things in Mobile are good. We are working hard, this week was a little bit tougher, just finding people, etc. WE make a lot of contacts, but we didnt find as many new investigators as normal. THere arent too many hispanics here in mobile, so the fact of having 4 spanish missionaries here is amazing. The only problem is we are running out of places to go, and honestly i dont think there will be 4 missionaries here for long. Who knows though, right?

Anyways, besides that, everyone is doing good. Ivonne and Georgia are doing great, Ivonne is reading the BoM like crazy, and Georgia, well we are working on getting her to read, but she is 13. Their mom is incredible, honestly one of my favorite people, and amazingly this week we actually stopped by their house and sat down and talked with the husband, Enrique, who up to this point has been a GIANT jerk. It was good, we defiantely didnt talk anything gospel, in fact, i almost started into to something gospel related and the spirit literally told me to shut up. Funny experience. But we just joked around and chated for a while, and hopefully we sparked a friendship.

We are focusing a lot of our efforts on Nora. She is awesome! I think i have already told you about her, but she is a former investigator of Elders Anderson and Jonesy. And she was amazing then, but i think she is even more prepared now. She came to church yesterday, and i think she really liked it. What added more to our joy is that her husband, who up to this point has been very nice to us, but seemingly non-interested in anything gospel related, came to church. I think we will either try to set a baptismal date with her this week, or next week for sure. She is awesome.

Besides that all is well here. Good things are happening in the ward. And the english members are very suportive of the spanish work.

So the area here... lots of trees, cool trees as well, the trees are probably my favorite part of the south, because when the sun starts going down it lights up the trees, and it is a really cool effect. Besides that, im not a big fan of anything else. lol i dont mean to sound negative, but the south is DEFINATLY not what i expected, and not in a good way either. BUt thankfully, we get to focus our time and effort on the hispanic people, which are amazing.

But i am doing good. Working hard and tryign to do better everyday, which is the most important of all.

WEll i hope you have a wonderful week. ENjoy your last little bit of school, and i look forward not only to emailing you next week, but talking to you in 10 days!

Love you
