First of all i think that maybe a 1000 pesos would do fine haha i dont need 1800! The problem is that i dont know that you have access to my account since i changed it to a checking account before i left and i dont have your names on it i think but not sure. My spanish is improving still have i know that i havent received the gift of tongues yet. It probably has to do with me worrying about it soo much and what i dont know instead of that of which i know. The hardest by far is when conversations go to things that arent gospel related since there is a myraid of things that i dont know outside gospel topics! I want to make this companionship all i can and just start serving. I notice that our work has slowed down and it has to do with us not working together how we should. Entonces, this is a buen de focus this week. For pdays i feel like there is alot of time wasting cause we dont do what we should and that is why im doing laundry and internet today which is not my pday. My companion is always worried about the other companship and being with them but not doing the tasks we should so we talked about stuff like that today. Yesterday i went to a dinosaur museum with a member and her daughter with the other elders in our ward and it was quite hilarious in all hahaha! To get in you had to bring 8 empty pop bottles for each person. We were literally in and out in 5 mins! I managed to get one picture inside of it and this was before i realized that you had to pay 50 pesos for pictures so i got away with that haha. I have honestly thought about that at times because as i learn about the Gospel and everything i see how big everything we do is. This time is appointed to decide our eternity after. Everything counts! This determines how happy we will be. We only need to trust the Lord knows us waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then ourselves and allow him to show us what he desires to have for us. As it says in Mosiah.. God only wants from us that we obey His commandments. THis opens the door for absolutely everything. In D&C 130 it talks about that every good thing comes in our obedience so that is the reason why. God cant bless us against our desires and actions. Its IMpossible!
Thank you dad, i know that i need to look to the Lord with patience in my trials and also i need to take action and demonstrate faith without fear. As for baptisms they fell threw for this last week because of difficulties with her family. She does have a testimony and know its true the problem is her family are stout Catholics and have threatened to move out and leave her to herself to support herself if she joins. It is pretty messed up but a big problem. We are going to talk to her again sometime this week. Its tricky though since even if she is home. We go and her family says she is not cause they dont want us to talk to her. I honestly feel that she will be baptized.. That night that we were supposed to baptize her and her son and then broke the news.. I dont think i have cried like that in awhile. Everyone needs this and i have strong desires for her family to be touched by the spirit. IT would be a ton of baptisms in that family! With other investigators we have right now its overcoming the couples that need marriage or separation. We have 3 couples with this so that is something we will work on this week.
I got a few photos this week but i want to get more.. Im not sure how im going to get them there though. I was thinking that maybe in awhile send it home and have you copy them off then erase the whole memory card but i think there is a better way. haha yeah yall dont even know! Im not surprised he hasnt told you. The newspapers arent edited here and pretty much everyday they have dead people in all its graphicness on the front page! I definitely avoid looking when im conscience. But That quote is very true. THis isnt just the people we baptize. THis is also their lineage after that are born in the gospel along with everyone else that they affect afterwards. ANyways i do have the address for the offices to send a package but apparently they are changing how things work after the next transfer in 2 weeks so you would need to get it out soon. I only crave for some good sour candy and some chocolate as well like kisses with almonds. Your smart and now what i like haha. Along with some kraft mac and cheese but not too much. Dont send some huge package and if you cant get the money in my account and still want to send it. You really have to hide it well just in case. But you really dont have to send money! my card does work here so i would try to get in my account if you can. Then i will leave you to send whatever else if you think i would like it but dont send higiene since they have everything here and its super cheap and im still great with everything! I really appreciate it. I love getting letters and being able to talk and here what is going on. Oh and by the way find stickers to put on the package like the Virgin Mary and Jesus. THey pretty much worship Virgin Mary here which is really strange and shows the power of Satan. the Address...

Thank you all and i like the little quotes and that Tami, by the way, I appreciate the love and give it back! I hope that you are all able to enjoy the snow and the cool blessings that tend to come from living the Gospel and learning more about our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. I know this Gospel is true and its really cool some of the things i have been researching early in the morning about Abrahamic Covenant and Eternal Marriage and tons of other things and the connection with things. But Yeahhhhh. Hasta Semana que Viene!
