good afternoon

well today was a great p-day!!! our mission president came to celebrate with the zone cause we led the mission in family baptisms in october so he came and gave us a presentation about the book of mormon then we went to an artificial soccer field and played for 2 hours and then he bought us all some za. it was actually pretty fun.

but hey speaking of p-days i wont be able to write you till next tuesday cause monday we have a meeting with an area 70 then after i have a ZL consejo so i have no pday ha but ill write on tuesday. ok.

whats the returned missionaries name? haha cause honestly up in till now its been the best 2 years of and for my life. cause its not like i did anything too awesome before hahaha. im sure when i get married that statement will change but for right now thats how it is.

haha well sometimes the hardest ones turn into the best baptisms. you always need to remember that the gospel is nothing new. EVERYONE knew about it before this life thats why they have bodies. were just here to remind people of what they have forgotten.

well i hope that all is well at home. i really do love you guys!!! i cant believe how much ive grown in the mission. im loving it right now.

OH haha almost forgot. we finally baptized the famiy this weekend ill send some pics with this email. it was a good baptism and i was super happy to see them do it. as for that, i got nothin mas haha. i love you mom. probably the hardest part about missionary work is trying to tell people that they arent truely happy. but we can always be the examples of how to be truely happy. que te vaya bien
