So turkey here is pretty hard to come by so we´ll see if I´ll end up eating some or not this week, they say its more common to eat around Christmas here. This last week went by pretty fast and even though it was full of ups and downs, I learned a lot. We´re working with a really positive family right now and they were references from another young member family in the ward. The wife was going to get married and baptized on Saturday but after doing everything possible on our part we had to let them exercise their faith to take the last step and just do it. Its frusturating when sometimes people don´t choose what will really make them happy in the end, but we´re not going to be giving up anytime soon. We´re also working with another family that have similar circumstances as the first but there´s a funny story that goes with them. The wife´s name is Car...

Here´s some things that are going on right now for me: the rain is starting to calm down a little but until January it gets a little cooler so that´s nice, I realized that gas prices here are the most expensive in all of north and south america so its nice to not have to drive, transfers are Wednesday so we´ll see if I stay or go but I feel like I´ll be here for a little while longer (this next change is only 4 weeks long so that the missionaries that are leaving can go home before Christmas), and I got your package! Thanks for the shirts and candy. I listened to the CD the first chance I got (I even robbed a CD player from the sisters here so that I could listen to it). Elder Velásquez thinks I´m a dork every time I press the button on the stuffed animal thing, but I like it. Oh and thinking about Chris...
