Well hello my beloved family. Sorry i am writing this so late i just got back from a district and zone leader meating with the pres. Yesterday i had to take 3 buses to go to Los Angeles and i slept there with my old comp Elder Glover and a bunch of way good friends and then today we had a meeting about numbers and all that really fun stuff and how we are going to help the younger missionaries be better. So i just barely got back. I smell delightful just so you know........we had to travel back another 5 hours. And another thing...............i left my camara in my appartment..................so i cant send any pics to you sorry. I had a ton of really good ones. But ill have to do it next week.


So this week was super good i liked it a lot. After 3 sundays of having 1 person and no one in the church we had 5 go this week. The sector is slower starting to look a lot better and we are going to be baptising some people really soon and hopefully getting some people married!!!!!!! So please keep that in your prayers because we really really want a white christmas just like you are having. But i am in "summer" supposably even though its super cold here with all the wind.

But Thanksgiving! We did end up eating in our appartment but our zone leaders came and ate with us. I was not feeling turkey at all so we made french fries, rice, this fruit salad, and juice! It was really good and totally made by missionaries. I liked it. hahaha I wouldnt let anyone eat until we all went in a circle and said what we are grateful for. It was really cool. But just like dad said in his letter..........next one I´ll be with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats gonna be so wierd.

So did you all like the pics i sent you? Remember my pet crab? Well i ate him. It was alright but i mainly just did it for the experience. We boiled it and then ate it! It was pretty cool i felt legit. Another really cool animal story is there was little puppy just walking around lost in the road and we went up and played with it for a little and petted it and stuff but it ended up following us to the house and we couldnt make it go away so we decided to let it stay the night untill we figured out what to do with it. We named it Jasmine. It was so cute I litterally fell in love with it immediately. But the next day someone stole her from us. Some crazy lady asked if she could have it while we were walking through down town (doing contacts, it was so cool because everyone actually stopped and started talking to us!) and i told her i didnt know because we didnt know who´s it was but the totally just took it and left. I was stunned and she totally just dissapeared into the croud. It broke my heart to see my puppy go.

So the best was on saturday we were watching the testaments as a branch activity in the church and i get a phone call on my cell and i leave and the person tells me "Elder2?" and i said "yes" and he said "this is the newest member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I just want to thank you so much for what you did for me and my family." It was the father of the little boy we baptised in Angol before i left. All of the 6 people i left in Angol got baptised. I was so happy and i just couldnt stop smiling for the rest of the day. His wife already was a member and now he wants to go to the temple way bad. Another family was completed. The Rodriguez fam that i told you about the wife and 3 kids and they want to go to the temple too and a 23 year old guy who wants to be a missionary. 14 people got baptized in Angol in the past 6 months. And they told me the place was dead when i got there. Now its time for Lebu!

Well i love you lots. Thanks for your love and support. Have a great week and i will be talking to you all soon!!!
