Hey Mom and Family!!!

How's everything going? This week has been a pretty great one! We have found and are starting to receive some success again finally! Yesterday MarĂ­ came to church and said she loved it and will definitely be back and she saw the primary and said she is bringing her granddaughter next week as well so that was awesome to hear! She also is reading in the Book of Mormon and is loving it.  We set a fecha (Appointment) for her on the 25th of February!  Also we have a young man that is 18 named Felix that is super smart and progressing  so we shall see with him. Then we just found out that Elizabeth, who is Mirian's daughter, is not leaving so we will shortly have her baptized as well.  She is already attending seminary and church every week and all!  But then some not so good news... that less active family is actually moving to another part of the country... but we definitely planted some seeds and they have been attending church and things are going great there.  We have interviews this week on Wednesday and so I'm excited about that.  Also transfers are coming up in a couple of weeks as well.  Things overall have been truly amazing - the Lord has definitely been blessing us that's for sure!  Things are a little bit rough at times right now with the comp.  I officially now know what the "me and I" attitude is.  My comp is all about himself and it gets hard at times.  He doesn't like any of our zone so we don't go to the activities on P-days - he doesn't like anyone because no one talks to him but it's like dad and you always said, you have to be a friend to have a friend!  I have definitely learned patience with him. I just keep my cool because if we don't get along then it stops our progress and the progress of our investigators so we will just keep working hard!  I don't want you to think he is the worst comp. ever or anything its just things get annoying and its hard at times but again, it's all part of the mission so I cant complain too much!!!!  Really though, no worries I'm healthy and happy!  This week we had an intercambio with las palmas - the zone leaders and I got to go with Elder  Natera - a Dominican and man he is soo cool!  I want a Dominican companion next! We went to this ladies house that I know from here and I hadn't seen her in some time and right when she saw me she was like Elder Reidhead what happened to you!? You are so fat!? hahahahha she is like telling me how like you guys as my family won't recognize me, haha!  It was messed up but I was just laughing!!!  It's probably true though!  I thought my appetite would go away but definitely not true!  I mean I'm working out and trying to stay in shape but the food is getting the best of me - it's sooooooo good hahahaha!  Sorry not a whole lot to write this week but that's about whats going on in Elder Reidheads life right now!  Know things are going great! I'm loving the mission and it seems that I learn something new every single day!!!  The spirit is so powerful out here - that is if you let it be!  I love you all so much!   Everything is going great!!!!   Have a fabulous week!!!

Elder Ridjed!!!! 

P.S.  I don't know if i told you but that's how my name is here because they can't say Reidhead.
