"Everything is great here.... just trying to finish off strong my last few months!!" January 19, 2015
Yeah Exciting week for PHS! Tell Ben to congratulate them!
Yes I got the package thanks so much! I love pics... I never get sick of them!
So with Joel, the one who has a drinking problem, things are going great. He accepted a date to be baptized!! So hopefully for the 1 of Feb. he will be baptized if he doesn't drink again! But he's super awesome and he was telling us he wants to bring all of his friends to church and that's always a sign of conversion! We want to help him go on a mission in a year!!
Yesterday we had our monthly meeting with the stake presidency and the bishops and the mission president and it was really good. After our president surprised us and was like lets go visit. So he went to our appointments with us. That was really cool cause I had never gone to work with him... Sadly all the appointments fell through. But we got to visit some of the recent converts and President teaches with such a spirit. It was really cool to teach with him and learn from him.
The joint multi zone was sweet.
Everything is great here.... just trying to finish off strong my last few months!!

"the Lord wants that I learn and I have, so that's good." January 12, 2015
So this week is gonna be cool!
We are gonna have a joint zone meeting with Modelo. We are two of the biggest zones, There will be 60 missionaries there.... so I'm a little nervous, because you guys know me and I hate talking in front of people. But the Lord wants that I learn and I have, so that's good.
Ha a funny story I got on the bus to go on interchanges and there was an old guy playing the guitar on the bus, he was like 60 and a little drunk. I went to the back and sat down in a seat and he came up behind me and just started punching me in the back, yelling : "fuera, fuera" it's kinda like saying, "get out", and so I got up and sat in another seat and the guy just sat down. hahaha, everyone was just laughing, but it was kinda funny!
Sadly one of our dates fell because he's gone crazy. He's like schizophrenic, he started like stacking up bricks in front of his door and the neighbors said he will just be like screaming at night and the other night he left the house nude. So we have just backed off... its really sad cause he was good. But he lives alone and I think that's killing him.
We met a guy this week who was a little drunk... but he was listening good to us. He wants to change. He's 23 and hes been drinking since hes 10 so he looks like he's 35. But poor guy never knew his parents cause they are both dead and he just grew up with his grandma. But anyways we brought him to church and we hope that he can keep progressing and leave his habits. I know he can cause I've seen it lots in the mission.

"I'm not gonna share my goals but just know that they're good." January 5, 2015
Well I dont have changes.... Im staying!
That's cool cause I really love my ward!
But I've made some goals for this next year.... and your email reminded me when as a family we would write down our goals for family night. I'm not gonna share my goals but just know that they're good.
One sweet thing happened this week, we knocked on a door and the guy walked out and when he walked out his door slammed behind him and the keys were locked inside. So his keys were like 15 feet away from the door but his window was open, so he built like this huge stick thing and then gave it to me cause they were too short to see in the window and the keys, you couldn't even really see them cause his lights were off so I was just stabbing into blind darkness and some how the first time it just hooked on to the tiny loop and slid down the stick and we got the keys... he was super grateful and he really wants to go to church. We went looking for him the other day and we couldn't find him... but he will be a great investigator.
sorry cause I didn't write alot but love you guys. I'm doing great!
