Elder Garcia says that he thinks its pretty warm there. So we had a pretty good week here in Ticuantepe, we're getting pretty close to the end of the transfer and my training with Elder Garcia. We have changes a week from Wednesday so this week is really important to baptize our investigators. Supposedly we're going to have a baptismal service as a zone with president monestel this Friday , I think there's like a dozen or so that we' re preparing for friday. Here's a picture of one of the ladies we' re teaching. Her name's Madely and she says that we' re her angles ... I believe her. She's really special and has been prepared for us to find and teach her at just the righ time in her life. Her father was the lead general for Nicaragua before the war here and so when...

Mom: you can stop worring now. I got yours and Jaycee and Teresha' s! They were just what I needed. My feet feel wonderful even after walking 8 miles every day , I look forward to growing my Christmas tree in September, I already ate all of the food, my companion likes the stickers and photos , I haven't made snow yet , but I do think that the T-shirt from Thomas is pretty cool.

But I am really grateful for the thought that was put into sending me so much cool stuff , I don't think anyone in the mission got better stuff for Christmas than me.

Sorry I wasn't able to send pictures last week of my Christmas Festivities, but I was able to rob my companion ' s camera where he has all of the good pictures. As you can see we did eat a ton. (I '11 send the other pictures in another email here in a minute). So it sounds like things are getting back to normal there at home and in Provo. Thanks for all of theemails! I did receive the letter you sent Sis. Monestel at the Zone Conference and it was perfect. It was funny, they handed the letters out all at once after we had a gift exchange and the whole room went silent as we were reading our letters from our families. Then you'd hear an occasional sniffle here and there and then it just got worse from there, so they said, "okay that's enough of that" and we moved on the the next activity. But it was really nice to get that from you all. ...
