Okay, Christmas totally rocked!!! I was a little sick but what’s new!? Haha  just kidded . Mom was sick too. So we weren’t alone! 

I had to force feed myself and then throw up in order to eat more.... I didn’t eat for the last three days because I had no hambre! But we have to do it all again because of Ano Nuevo... FOOD! That’s it! After this year I am totally going to eat less.... HA joke!

I cant believe how fast this cambio has gone.... the next time we write we will know if we have changes or no. I hope I don’t go! I love this area! I love the people and my converts and life and everything!!!!

I only have 30 minutes to email today because we have a cita with a doctor!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! 

Don’t be like an Elder (who I am not going to name) who burnt his neck for being disobedient and lighting off fireworks!!! Be safe and I will talk to you guys next year!!!! LOVE YOU!!!!

Wowowowwo! What a week! I completed 9 months; we had our Christmas conference, and a whole lot more that I cant think of.

Okay life is awesome! I am so happy that I get to spend Christmas here in the mission. We spend the Christmas Conference talking about the gifts we have received here and what we would be giving this year. (and we watched Iron Will... I cried... whoops) Wow I have received so much here. First of all: The gift of tongues. I learned Spanish! I thought that would be impossible to do. I have more courage. I have more faith and more knowledge of my Savior Jesus Christ. I am meeting the great people and I am loving every moment. I feel true blessed. AT first I thought... I am already giving a year and a half of my life... what more can I give? But thinking about it, there is so much more I can do. I want to be the best missionary I can be. I love this gospel and the hope it brings to my life. Christ was born in a manger, Joseph Smith was only 14 years old and missionaries everywhere are teaching the greatest thing this world has to offer. By small and simple things, great things are brought to pass.

I will be calling in two day!! No worries, I am not baggy ;) Mom has the info! I love you all!! I hope you all have a great Navidad!! I also sent a ton of pictures to mom... hunt her down haha I LOVE YOU!!!

Hey family! Soooo I don’t know what happened.... put I am out of time. 

But things that happened this week: We exceeded the goal of 18 new investigators in every area in my zona (12 areas) and this weeks goal was to put five fechas bautismal... we didn’t hit five in every area but we put more then 30 fechas! Wooo! Presidente Crapo gave us permiso to go to Merto Norte....... AKA WALMART!! It is out of our Zona but we get to go today!! Yayayayay!

The nino in the picture put himself under the Christmas tree and said, Ï am my parents gift for Christmas this year!* Hahah so cute, right?

We also took pictures with corte... I will send them in a different email.

But life is great!! Oh! Shout out to Elder Vincent*s mom who found my blog... He is an awesome Líder de Distrito. You’d be proud of him. And also, thanks for the package you sent him, he shared the candy! Hahah

Mom! I hope you are keeping up the date my letters!

Okay! I love you guys! Keep on keeping on! The church is true!!

Where did this year go?! First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTIN!!! I can believe you will be turning 25! What? It feels like just last year we were playing in the back yard!..... hashah joke! We are always playing! I love you! I hope tomorrow is magical!

This week...... I just talked to you guys Wednesday! Okay, last week we had the goal (as a Zona) to find 18 new personas to teach in every area. Out side the cap that is super easy... but in the cap it is more of a challenge. But we did it! So our ZL is going to be making us lunch today! We hit 18 people 20 minutes before the Christmas devotional started... haha but we did it!

Last week was crazy: Monday we went to the doctor, Wednesday we went to the temple, Thursday we had zone meeting, Friday we had interviews with Pres. Crapo y Hna Crapo y Los Olsen´s (like we do every three months), Saturday we had weeking planning AND a baptisms. Last week was so fast! And now we are in week 3/6 of the cambio. Time is flying! Shane Conger emailed me and said that he is going home in three weeks!? What!? It has already been two years! That is it, I am never going home!!! Jk mom.... love you. 

I am going to be sending a memory card home. If you could send my other one back, that would be great... long story short, I lost my card... found my card but when I got it back, it got stepped on and is stuck on *lock* so I cant take more pictures..... sorry! But I have my memory card from chiquimula that I will be using. Okay! I love yuo guys so much!! Have a great week! Until next week, keep on keeping on!

Yes, it is miércoles and I am writing! We went to the temple!! I would have told you last week but we didn’t find out until Sunday. Sorry mom!!

Ummmmm BEST WEEK EVER!! I saw HNA ROLL!!! You all know how much I love her. My comp had changes (to my last area... Chiquimula!) and so I had to go to change conf sola... I felt strange. I was talking to my fav lider de distrito ever (ya esta en su casa) and he told me that hna roll was inside. I about knocked down half of the elders. You should have seen that reunion! We saw each other and ran and the biggest hug ever and we cried out of joy for like 5 minutes. Holy cow I love that girl!! She is now the hermana lider in the capital and my other comp hna morales is the hna lider in puerto barrios... um my comps rock! Change conf was so great to see everyone. I saw elder Conger! He looks great! I have a picture that I will send. I also said goodbye to my first companion, hna perez! Yaaaa she is home now! I was with her when she completed one year!!

My companion is hna Jaime from Mexico! I love he so much! We share hna morlaes as a companion. I haven’t laughed so hard since I was in Chiquimula. She is awesome!!!

A family fed us thanksgiving! We don’t celebrate that here but they made a turkey de todas modas! We call them Famila Gringa becauase the dad speaks English.

Everything is going so great!! I love my comp and time is flying!!

I hope you guys all have a great week!!
