Happy New Year!!!!!!! My day has been great! We played some basketball and went shopping for groceries and just relaxed today. It's been a good P-Day! My week was pretty good - we had some success but to be honest things are really slow right now around Christmas and New Years and now this month we have the huge day called Día de Reyes and it's like Christmas here - they give gifts out and things like that! We are hoping things start to pick up but i can't complain i'm here working and doing my best and relying on the lord because he knows whats going on! Yes it was great to talk to you guys last week! It was great to see you guys even though you couldn't see me but just to see how much everyone has already changed, especially Beck! He is huge and looks way different!
For new years we just hung out and made empandadas and ate a ton of food and hung out and chilled. We burned a shirt and all that stuff and just chilled out. We actually had to be in early because the streets are crazy! People start getting drunk at 10 in the morning then they go home and sleep during the afternoon then at around 5 or 6 they get back up and get ready and hit the street and don't go back home until the next day! It was super loud music playing all night and all day, haha, it was a crazy day and no one wanted to talk to us! So yes they celebrate it big here! Sounds like you guys had a great time and enjoyed yourselves for the holidays and all and Beck doesn't like the fireworks huh? hahah thats funny. Tanner Lebaron - thats way cool - tell him congrats when you see him!
Yesterday we had Church early at 8;30 as well and it was a good meeting. They talked on your new year resolutions and writing them down and improving from last year and all that stuff it was really good! I love sister Petramalo! She is definitely a pioneer woman that's for sure - she is strong! Tell that family i love them so much! Especially Bishop Petramalo! That sounds no fun that everyone is getting sick and all!!! As for me i'm still healthy as ever and haven't had to deal with anything like that as of yet! And yes it has cooled off - i mean when it rains afterwards its super hot and super humid and that's always not a good thing but overall yes it has cooled down! Wow - Dad got eye surgery!!!!!! How did you talk him into that? That's way awesome! I got an email from sister Beafeaux saying she saw you guys and told me about dad and eye surgery it was good to hear! And the good old Denham boys - that's awesome that they are getting ready like we did with the good old 4-H days haha tell i'm love them as well!
Things are going great we are teaching a less active member family and this past week we got them to come to church and also taught them alot about the temple and families and all that and now we are working on getting them prepared for the temple - its awesome! There is always something to do here that's for sure - if you cant find investigators to teach then there are plenty of less actives that we can help out in this Ward. Overall everything is amazing! I'm enjoying the mission as if I just started! It's an amazing time that's for sure! 'Not just a 2 year stretch - its preparation for life´ - Pres. Kimball! I love that quote!! But family know i love you sooo much!!!! Miss you as well and i'm glad to hear overall everything is going great with everyone! Keep up the good work and know that everything is good here and i'm praying for you everyday! Hope everything continues to go well! Again, love you all so dearly! Hear from ya all soon!
