November 25th Letter

Wow I loved your letter thank you. Alright well to start out I bought you all Christmas presents!! I’ll send um sometime in December or alter. Anyway and then I bought me a small Christmas tree and nativity. :) I couldn’t help it. To answer your questions: yeah maintaining my weight. I’m pretty healthy beside the food. To be honest mom this week was really really hard. I kind of yeah forgetting yourself isn’t hard, but the family and home is. Christmas is looming and that’s rough but the people here are really nice. My companion well he’s so racists it’s actually border line funny. :) the food hard I’m hungry a lot and not used to that, I went of 7 dollars on my breakfast budget for this month , I have to take that out today but I’ll be more careful this next month, and I’m working on someone in the take and feed me dinner miracles pancakes, so my own little thanksgiving.  So here’s the letter

Esau in the bible sold his birthright for a bowl of porridge... at this point I’d sell anything for a bowl of anything BUT rice :)

This week has been a really rough one, started out good bought for Christmas and President Archibald, who I love, chastised my companion for his racisms in his letters... which didn’t help things. But anyway so Monday was great. Tuesday we had splits and a lady taught a lesson you don’t need priesthood power to give blessings she raised her dog from the dead when she laid her hands on him... Yeah we deal with lot of that stuff here. But anyway our zone for this month is 46 baptisms the most in any zone ever... our previous record was 17 ha-ha were crazy, but I love it. Anyway Wednesday I ate crap... and when I say that it was literally crap :) I had a cows colon in soup and well the stuff that oozed out when I asked my pinchanisita what it was well a gladly returned it to the right full place it belongs in my toilet after dinner. ha-ha but yeah than we taught English classes that night when the Hermanas didn’t show up, my companion hated it so much stood up and walked out bishop called after him, and by than he’d left the church I had the class couldn’t leave so bishop dragged him back in. ha-ha people here are either really nice or they hate me. I’ve surprisingly dealt with a lot of racism but people are really nice here too. We had a 1hr long companionship inventory the next day and well it didn’t help much. But we made the best companionship in the zone! And the 2nd in the mission! We’re holding out for number 1 but didn’t get a baptism this week so I don’t know. I played the piano Sunday two beautiful songs out of the hymn book, than oh come all ye faithful for closing out of my simplified and well a small sheep heard it on the other side of the Andes had a hemorrhage it was so bad. Ha-ha but this people don’t know how to read music so sacrament hymns are always interesting anyway I love it. Anyway it’s been really hard with no baptisms this week or success and my companion and Christmas and a lot of stuff. But I read a lot about the pioneers and their tails and I feel really blessed and grateful. We visited a cow farm the other day, no one’s gone to before cause of the smell, but I love it! It was just like the farm we taught the family and gave all 5 a date for baptism, only problem they just aren’t married, so I called the mariachi band and we have a date scheduled (that isn’t a joke ha-ha we literally plan weddings) anyway keep on trucking I guess. :) had a really good friend in the CCM come to our area and ask what’s wrong, he said you were so happy in the CCM what happened... First hated that but second I thought I was happy now, but made a new goal to make a special effort to be happier despite my circumstances. :) Oh and were going caroling with the consjejo de barrio this December! :) can’t wait.... I’m the only bass singer in the entire stake choir ha-ha anyway fantastico and cheerio Elder Grow
