December 19th

We are working like crazy here. We are having trouble finding investigators, but we will get them. I'm really glad for the opportunity that I have to work with and serve such great missionaries as are in my district. We are teaching more than before but we still need a little more to reach the goal, but we will get there.

The office has a new method of doing things. When a package comes they send us a notice and then we have to pay them so that they can send it to us. So last week I got 1 notice which asked for 20,000 guaraniis which is a ton for a package. It usually tops 10,000 so I guess it must be either really big or really heavy one of the two. I think its gonna be heavy, so I'm guessing the books I asked for. But when it gets here I'm gonna open it. Don't worry I'll film it as is Christmas tradition. I am going to get it today because I have to go out to Encarnacion 3rd branch to do a baptismal interview. So I'm going to pick it up from the Sister Missionaries in the 1st branch and then head out to the 3rd branch do the interview, and then hang out with the elders.

We will be doing the calls at noon our time. (8 I think your time.) So I will still do email first. So 11-12 email 12 til who knows when calls.

Yeah everything is going super well. One of our investigators, Geronimo is going to be baptized Wednesday. Then I give a talk in church Sunday about Christmas. We are still having trouble finding investigators, but last week we saw a miracle. We were walking down the street when an old pair drove up along side us in their moto and the woman said "hey where are you guys going?" and I said "we are heading for the Vivienda" so she answered "hey I live close to the Vivienda, come over to my house right now I want to hear your message." She then gave us her direction and we went by and shared with her and she wants to be baptized. Problem, her boyfriend isn't sure, and they aren't married and he is separated but not divorced to another woman. So those are the problems but they just take time to solve. But yeah that's the crazy experience of the week.

I'm glad that everything is going well in the classroom. I'm glad that the kids are still loving it as always. I look forward to being able to study stuff with you and help you prepare your class. I always loved Moroni 10:5 and by the power of the Holy Ghost you may know the truth of all things. Many times as members of the church we think that revelation is only for religious stuff, but anything that is important to us is important to God and he will guide us in all that we do. All of our labors can be consecrated to God. A sports game, a music performance, even teaching a class, or cooking food. Every single one of these things we can be guided by God. I love revelation. It's so awesome.

But yeah I got to go, but i love ya tons, and I look forward to talking to you next week. Miss you and love you. Ciao.

Love,
