How Blessed We Are

Family,
It's so good to hear from you all. This week went really good this past week on Saturday we had a baptism, and it was really exciting to see a member actually baptize him. His name is Hernan and he is 11 years old so it was quite nice. Everything is going extremely well in this new area of Pompeya in Santa Fe. This area is just full of youth that are willing to work with us and its a real nice help. Elder Craner is a true stud , my junior comp, him and I for the past 3 weeks have been able to get the standards of the mission , its quite a honor to be serving with Him in this area.

Its really sad to hear that Daryl got his car stolen, especially on Thanksgiving day of all the days. Its really sad to hear but Word of advice to Daryl is just keep your head up , and keep going strong in the ways of the Lord and the Lord will bless you in His way , maybe a better car or your same civic .. so just keep strong in the right path.
Also thanks mom for putting the Money in my account , cuz it turns out that I was just going to ask you to put some Money in for shoes, both pairs that I have left have started showing there time in the field and they are starting to get holes in them. So I am really going to use that Money on some good shoes. For the package that you would like to send to me the only thing I ask is a photos of my bike and fotos of all you all in the family , a good family foto with all the babies , and the last thing would be a good all around cook book, of foods to deserts etc… that's really all I think I would need for Christmas.. its quite different how the whole mind set changes in the mission and you come to realize how blessed we are in our very own lives in so many ways. I have come to realize how great of a family that I really have, and it truly is the thing I am most grateful for I really must say.. so really don't worry about sending me to much staff, maybe letters from the family would be another cool idea to put in the box as well , maybe even members from the ward, if there is any one who remembers me lol … the family is my top priority I must say. And photos I would love, cuz really that's what more people ask to see in the mission. So i really think that is all I am really going to need for the holidays this year..

But I must say family that everything is going quite well in the mission , in about two more weeks we have a baptism of a family of 4, its the family Vega. They have been listing to the missionaries for a while now and they just have been waiting on wedding papers to get baptised , so they CAME in and now they are getting baptised in the church , they are pretty much mormons with out the waters of baptism lol ….:)

I love you all , I have a question for you all for the call of Christmas , when would you all want me to call in the morning or afternoon , so we can know what time to call you all at home or you call us … so just so we can plan around it …

So i hope everything keeps going good for you all , there is no need to worry if i am getting food or not, cuz we eat with the members about 5 times of the week so its really nice. I just hope I don't gain weight in the mission. Its my only fear lol , but everyone is telling me i lost some weight cuz I look skinner … and with the heat coming its not going to help any lol.. it was very interesting this past week we had a lot of rain in Santa Fe, so we had a rainy week lol … there is one more thing i want to ask mom its about my debt card so do we know whats going to happen when it expires, in Feb… ¿ am i going to need to send you mine or anything weird like that… so if you can find out information on that it would be a good help..

Other then that I am sending you all some photos i hope you all enjoy them..Tell next week and thank you for everything family i love you all …
