hey family! this week was really good! it was busy and good stuff happened.

 

this past Friday we had a mission conference with Elder Teh from the 70, its really cool that he is young than president riggs, and president riggs is younger than dad! so he's pretty young to be in there! it was really great. he taught a lot of great stuff! it was very spiritual. he talked a lot of "getting out of the 'current' in the mission field" and compared it to the current in finding nemo and how its easier to be there, a lot of friends are there but you don't go too far. that's one thing I've thought a lot about. I see that all the time. just how that's the easy path to take and it will always be the easy path to take, but we need to walk the path Jesucristo set for us. its not always easy, but it is the most rewarding and as we walk the path He walked we can grow and become the person we need to be!

 

I went on 2 exchanges this week. I felt a little bad for Elder ruiz-leon who had to go, I was always way nervous to go on them when I was new! but he did well! I really enjoy them now!

 

we have this investigator from argentina who is so great! we've been seeing him for the past 3 weeks now and this past Wednesday we go over there and he had bought me gluten free chips and gluten free cookies. I was blown away that he would do that for me!

 

we have been working really hard with this less-active who reminds me a lot of charley! and the other day we had such a powerful lesson with him and his mom! and on sunday he came to church! I was honestly so happy! and also we had 2 other investigators come to church!! so we were pumped! haha! we  were jumping around reverently haha! church was really exciting because we got a new bishopric! I think it will be really good and very focused on mission work! so we are excited about that!

 

I did get that package! I was really happy!!! I thought it was funny how you gave me lots of sweets and a toothbrush! I don't know if that was intentional haha!! I love you all so much! i'm excited for Amanda!!! the baby laira (I don't know how to pronounce that how its spelled? haha) is it like "l + air + a"? or "la + ee + a"? i can't read English super well now ... ha.

 

it has been getting pretty cold here! yesterday was really cold plus wind chill! elder ruiz-leon thought he was going to die! haha. but no snow! i really hope it doesn't snow this winter!

 

love you all!!!!
