December 3, 2012 - 12 Investigators and Enjoying the Work in Paita


Dear Mom,

Thanks mom, so yeah I got the package that you sent in October. Thanks a lot, I was able to share them with the pension and another family. then they just told me that in the US they only eat packaged foods......I paused for a second, then laughed, cause its true!   We topped the investigator high with 12 this past Sunday. We are the only people that are in the ward, talking about missionaries. Also we found an investigator that I think will want to be baptised this month. Her daughters are members, but were inactive for over 8 years, then we got them to come to church again. That was good and whatnot. Anyways, that's the good news of this week, were lookin at what's gonna happen here this month and I think that its gonna fly by (like a G6) yeah, I'll hit ya back with more info in Dad's letter.

Dear Dad,
So I don't remember really what ribs taste like*, but ya know that I'm doin alright. That's pretty chill about Lake Powell**, I'm pretty stoked to go next year!  But don't worry, I'm not losing focus here in the mish. Anyway, I'm gonna have to say sorry cause I'm not sending any pics this week, I forgot my memory reader. But I got some pretty legit pics don't worry! 

So the big news of the last week.....hmmmm not much, but I believe that we're going to be seeing some baptisms this month....I hope! My comp is good and we're getting along well, we´ve had some great experiences together, and we´ve had the chance to find new investigators. I think that a few of them were even inspired ;) I'm still glad to hear about Geoff, he's definitely going to have quite the 2 years!!  The people that we are teaching are mainly women, why? I have no idea, but it could have something to do with the fact that I talk alot......haha but you already knew that! I feel like I'm at home in the pensión, They sure do treat me great, call my pension if ya want! She's called Maria, her husband is Santos. I think it's a 2 hour time difference, not sure though. 

As for how much Ive grown, I'm not sure.  I'm hoping that I haven't grown at all, haha but I don't know, seeing that I haven't measured myself in a lonnng time. We're gettin work done around here and making the work move forward. The assitiance  has jumped from steady 80´s to a 100 solid....I hope we can keep it like that. I'm enjoying the work and making sure that my investigators enjoy it too!!! I know God's got my back, and I'm not counting on him to let me down any time soon!! Love you guys with all my heart and I'm sure that we'll be talking in a short 7 again. I'll hit ya up on the dealio for the Christmas call. Lemme know when Nick's gonna call and I'll work around that. As for the fam, just let them know that I love them!!!!

keep it real, keep it chill smooth and always fresh to death!!! haha

chow!!!
