Hey Mom!

I hope you get well soon! Eat a lot of pineapple to avoid more stones! 

I'm kinda glad to hear that there aren't many good movies coming out, but sad at the same time. Also, it's so super sad that you had to cancel your trip to Utah to see The Lower Lights :( But hey, they'll come around again.

This week a member gave me a book. It's called "Una Obra Maravillosa y prodigio". or "A marvelous work and a wonder" It is super good! I also want to read the miracle of forgiveness, history of the church, and the teachings of the prophet Joseph Smith. But I might have to wait until after the mission. For now, I think it's best to focus on the Book of Mormon and Bible. I still have a long way to go.

This week we kinda had a party in our house. We had the zone leaders and my comp's trainer(and his comp) over for breakfast. Personally, I thought it was a bit of a waste of good study time, but it was still fun. we ate sausage and eggs and of course, tortillas. It surprises the mexicans when i tell them we don't eat with tortillas. They always ask "Then what do you eat with?" "Well, nothing really. A fork? sometimes bread, but not often." and they still don't understand. They imagine that we eat everything with bread instead of tortillas. they're kinda strange and can't imagine eating without tortillas of bread.

So we have transfers! My companion is leaving, and I'll stay here as Companero Mayor (for my first time!) and I'll be training a new missionary! Super crazy! The mission goes by so fast! Can you believe that I already have 7 months in the mission? I can't!

So saturday we had a baptism, super awesome, and tomorrow the other missionaries in our ward are going to have a baptism too! So next week I'll send you the photos from that one! 

Tell Anna I love her Christmas list!

I Love You! I hope you get better!

Holy Guacamole! Mom should know better by now that kidney stones are not a good idea. But hey, at least you don't have to raise another kid! What movie did you guys go see? Star wars? Some other awesome movie that just came out? I hear a lot from the investigators and members about movies that are coming out. They say that there's even a new tarzan movie coming out! I'll have quite the list of movies to see after two years!

So news time! 

My companion is getting transferes! I'll be recieving a new elder, Elder Procopio. I don't know if he's american or mexican, but his name is wierd, so Ï think he's mexican. Honestly, I don't feel ready to train anybody. I hardly know the area and feel like I just barely finished my training! I've never even been companion mayor!

But hey, what can I do. I'm going to try my best to help this newby out! So wish me luck!

Tell Mom to stop hurting herself!
