Almost Christmas

So while my mind is still fresh.

This last week we invited a family to babtism that we are teaching. they kindly refused! they said that unless god came out and pinched them they wouldnt budge from their religion (calthlics). Its wierd because they ask a TON of questions and are really intrested.. they read the book of mormon. but just CANT come to church.

We have a few plans for christmas.. Memeber ALWAYS feed you tomales so i planned well.. we have a 5, 7, and 8 oclock appointments for christmas eve, and morning and lunch for christmas day! My comp is planning on calling about 12, (11 for you) lets say he talks 2 hours, 1 hour for lunch.. That puts us on a call of.... 4 oclock (3 utah time) what do you think?

I will call the bishop this week and let him know about out plans..

Hotels will be MORE expensive in antigua and atitlan.. he is planning with food but what do you think? i dont think it includes for 5 people though).

I will also be calling carlos to find an afirmative on SLASH if he will be comming with us.

Things are fine here. Love ya all .. christmas at 3...!!

Last Change

Its official.. I am in my last change here in the mission.. We had changes today and i Stayed with my companion and he is my matador...

I talked to him about how he felt being with me for one more change.. His response was a bit shocking.. He hasn´t seen any success in his mission and he is SUPER discouraged.. HE now has 6 months. I try to keep working hard but you know how it is.. Time slows. and you just want to go home. HE mentioned that its frustrating because i am going home and his light of the tunnel is so small.. Anyway, I will try to get some positive into him.

We are working with a girl named Lisany.. Age 14. She has been to church 3 times and wants to get babtized. We just have to talk to her mom and get permision.. We will be doing that this week.. However her friends are going on vacation for like a month and she might not come to church OR listen to us withouth them present..

Other than that things are fine.. I am just trying to stay focused and do what i can.

Tell grandma thanks for the letter and that i appreaciate it.
