Hey Family!
  Things are going better for now. It definitely was a tough week. But i got the package and i think 6 letters from people! They were sent a while ago haha. Thanks for the package and everything in it. I am enjoying  the snacks! Ideas for the christmas package: krazy glue, toothbrush, pen( narrow with a click top), 1 thing of those zinc tabs (nice for when sick, but im healthy), 1 more thing of vitamins, 1 thing of melatonin, granola bars, uno, the same snacks as last time. mints/gum, and 2 blue refils for my marking pencil. I´ll let you guys decide what you want to send me. I really liked all the snacks you included in this last one! I would send the package 6 weeks before you want me to receive it. You can send it this week or wait a week and i´ll let you know if i think of anything else.
    We´re working hard and we may have some baptisms this week! We are teaching some kids in a less active family and also an 18 year old girl named Cristina. We´re going to work hard to help them get baptized this week.
   Glad to hear the trek went well. Sounds like it was a great experience for all who went. This week we had a random guy give us a ride to one of our appointments. Nice, right. When we got there he told us that the book of mormon wasnt true and that we should go home. I wanted to laugh in his face. I bore my testimony and we left. If anything it strengthened my testimony even more. Satan is working hard against and always will be. It will be hard at times, but this is the work of the Lord and the only true church on the earth in our day. The Church of Jesus Christ! Live it to the fullest and you will be blessed. Happiness lies in living the gospel. I am so blessed to have you guys as my family. I love you so much! Keep me updated. I will write more next week. I promise haha!
