...and a Happy New Year! (Week 8)

Dear Family,

Happy New Year!
How was Christmas? I can't believe the lights and tree are already down, what is this?? You need to celebrate! I'm glad you guys all got to spend a lot of time together and see Nathan, Andrea, and Bailey. And one again, thank you for the pictures :) Are you excited for the new year? or will you guys even be staying up?... Remember that one year we didn't do anything hahaha.  It was so great to see and talk to all of you! I really enjoyed it.  And now back to work! 

Thank you so much for the package! It was perfect! And I even got a stocking to boot :) Really thank you.  I'm going to use everything up!! And thank you everyone for the letters!

We have 2 companionships living in the same house.  Hermana Rodriquez and I and Hermana Gines and Hermana Cardona.  It is great! And I actually like living with all of them, it's fun.  A lot of the time I have no idea what to eat so it's always a fruit and either cereal or toast.  And when we go to someones house to eat, well whatever they feed us! Infact I had cow stomach yesterday! And it was pretty good.... I can't tell if I'm gaining weight or not. I thought I was but the past couple of days my skirts feel really loose which isn't good. Oh well! I'll eat more! I drink a lot of water, and if they have coke or whatever I always choose the other drink that doesn't have caffine, unless it is the only choice.

Progressive Investigators: We don't have any. We had one sweet girl come to church, Lourdes, but she doesn't have a date so she doesn't cound.  To be a Progressive Investigator you have to have a date and go to church.

Lourdes: She is a 10 year old girl, and always loves our visits, she sings, she prays, and she has come to a couple of the activities. (I think she really likes me because she always sits near me and when we were walking to the church she grabbed my hand, she is so sweet) We are really hoping to get her parents and family invloved.

Carlos: Carlos talks so fast! And is great! But... he won't come to church and he wants to finish ´celebrating' aka drinking before he gets baptized.

Susana. We found her just yesterday and she is great too! Ah we showed her a 20 minute video of the Restauración that she wanted to see the whole one, so we found it for her on lds.org.  But.... She doesn't want to be baptized.

Mariela, Mauricio, German. We are trying to work with. It seems like none of our investigators want to come to church!

Carlos, German, and Mariela all have dates for baptism, and we are working on the rest.

Mama: and I finally found my shoe polish ha so I can polish my shoes now too! ( But I am grateful for you and dad because you packed it all and I would never have been able to do it without you.)

Dad: Ah thank you for sharing your spiritual thoughts. And continue to update me with Orem and BYU :)

Love you all so much!!! 

Love,
Hermana Louder

I was going to send pictures, but it is not working, so next time!
