"Yesterday we had our baptisms of Rafael and Melissa!!" December 23, 2014
This week was so fast and fun.
We had our Christmas party as a mission, it was really fun. We had a zone skit that we put together, it was really good. Great food, played basketball, and they showed us some new videos of the Piano Guys and David Archuleta that are pretty great!
I had a dream of Blaine and that we were in conference and he got called to be an Apostle haha, it was so funny cause he had like his little beard growing.
Yesterday we had our baptisms of Rafael and Melissa!! It was great... I was pleased to help them do the ordinance. I'll post photos.
Pablo, who I told you guys about last week that was falling away, but was gonna go to SOY. Yeah he went and had an amazing time. Yesterday he bore his testimony and said "I had fallin away from the church a little, I already didn't want to come. But after this week of SOY, I got a testimony. And I know this church is true, and I promised God that I won't miss another Sunday again." It was so awesome to see that... I'm glad he came back, cause he's a great kid.
Yesterday we talked to like 20 members and set up that we're gonna go caroling. They were really pumped and last night we went out with them and sung Christmas Hymns. We sang to the less actives and the recent converts. They all felt so good and so did we.
love you guys. see you in 4 days!!

" We just sung her some Christmas hymns and told her God loves her" December 15, 2014
Wow the house looks crazy with all that snow!!!
This week was super great, we brought lots of people to church and this Sunday we're gonna baptize Rafael and Melissa.
One of my recent converts, Pablo has been falling away from the church. He was super amazing when we baptized him two months ago, but in the last couple weeks hes been falling away. All the youth in El Salvador are going to soy today. Soy is like efy. He was already signed up for it and all but recently he's fallen away but President Sanchez' son, saved him. Last night he called him and talked with him for an hour, and talked him in to going. So now he's going today to soy, and I know that will change him completely. I'm so excited for him.
It was a members birthday last Monday and he invited us over for a family night and dinner it was really good. He's so funny, I need a pic of him, his name is Toñito and he's like 60, really big and short with a moustache and glasses. But they gave us the best sandwiches, but they cooked the broth that they put on it with like a full chicken inside. So there was chicken feet and I took one to try it. haha it tasted weird, and it still has like nails so you gotta be careful when you eat it.
Yesterday we reactivated the Patriarch's daughter, she hasn't gone in lots of time. We always saw her in his house but never talked to her, this last week we decided to start talking to her, we just sung her some Christmas hymns and told her God loves her. She came to church yesterday and brought her boyfriend who isn't member. It was super awesome.
Also yesterday was the Primary program. hahaha you guys would of loved it. We also sang one of the children's hymns with the little kids, but it was so funny... the kids were adorable.
Love you guys,
ps. send me after Christmas all the Christmas cards that you get at the house!!

"so about that baptism thing... I say YES!!" December 8, 2014
This week was great!!
Yesterday we took a family to church and after church we visited them and the husband accepted the baptismal date and the wife said, "I'll tell you tomorrow". In the morning she texted us and signaled us to call her. I called her and she was like, "so about that baptism thing... I say YES!!" I was screaming in the phone! haha it was the second time Someone has accepted a date over the phone!
So the 21st we are gonna baptize Rafael and Melisa... They are super cool they are a younger family. They have two little kids. One is 7 and he's awesome, he sings the hymns and we gave him the painting book of doctrine and covenants. He is really smart.
One of my investigators found the coolest keychain. Its got a T-REX and it says TANNER on it. hahaha they said they went to an american goods yard sale and found it. I'll send a pic of it later.
The people that have a baptismal date like a week ago, They gave us sugar cane. Mom you would kill me for eating it, but its pure sugar and you just suck on it. And sugar juice comes out. But after a couple sucks its really sweet!!
Love you all excited to skype!!
