It was great to talk to you yesterday aswell. we will just have to talk Spanish on Christmas i guess.

today was transfer call day. we found out we are losing Elder Young and getting another Elder. So i will have spent 4 transfers in a Tri-companionship by the end of next transfer. I kinda want to go back to just 2, but what can i do? Its good you have that 3 people experience for a while. they are great but i feel like it the "tradition" to be in with just 2 people. so i kinda want it back. 

This past week has been a good one. we were able to see allot of cool things. We are really being able to find more people to teach and get more sincere return appointments. We found one guy this week named Gustavo. he is also from the Dominican Republic. He meet with missionary's 2 or 3 times there but never really had time. We talked with him when we were knocking doors and left a prayer with him. We then went back two days later and taught the first lesson to him. He was kinda hung up on why we talked about Joseph Smith. because he did not care who wrote the book or Mormon and who restored the stuff. He just said "if its true, its true. it does not matter who did what." So he took the book of Mormon and said he would read it. Then his wife showed up and said she was baptized a "Mormon" along time ago. So less active work two :)

Then sunday we meet new people at church. They were brought by members and we had never meet them before. so we were able to set up lessons and they said they liked church. We also had several members tell us they have friends they are talking to about the church and want to set up appointments for us. So the branch is really getting into missionary work. its awesome to see. Friday we had a party for all the mothers in the branch, we were the waiters for all of them. It was crazy!! I was running like a mad man. It also did not help that i dont know foods in Spanish so that made kinda a problem. but by the end i was so dead i keep falling asleep in my chair. a bunch of the kids in the branch kept coming over and shaking me awake. It was cute but man was i tired.
