hola a todos!

well i can't believe christmas is this sunday! i sent home a package and you should be getting it on the 24th by the raymondville elders so make sure to open the door for them haha. well i hope everyone is doing well. this last week i was pretty sick with the cold. i felt like my head was about to burst and whatnot. i got better a few days later but i was feeling pretty miserable. anyway this past week was rough because we were struggling to find new people to teach. it seems as if the mission is made up of ups and downs. as well i was noticing some tension between my companion and i so i finally decided to talk it out with him. our 2nd transfer should be as successful as our first. i am grateful to the Lord for being part of this great work. i really feel as if i dont have enough time. i will be hitting 8 months in two weeks and well it is just flying by.

well i hope to call you this sunday. i'm not sure when i will call but more than likely around 3pm. i hope mom's phone is still working because that is the only number i remember.

have a great week! feliz navidad!!

with love,
