HELLO There!!!!!

Well, it was the best day ever to get to talk to you face to face...well computer to computer, it made my day!!!!!!! I am so glad that it worked out:D

Well lets see. Christmas was fantastic...we had fried tamales for breakfast (yep, they tasted as fattening as they sound....SO GOOD!) with some members in our spanish ward, then had christmas dinner with the H family and the zone leaders tagged along with us. It was such a fun day!

So do you remember me telling you about A and her family? Well she was a referral from the christmas lights and she has a bunch of crazy sweet stories. Well right after I sent you the e-mail about her (2 weeks ago I think) she sent us a text saying that she didn't want us to come over anymore and teach her and her family. Well we were SO bummed!!!!!!!!! Well we stopped by her house again 2 days ago. We told her that we will respect whatever decision she makes, we just know that she needs to come to church once before she makes her decision. She has an 8 year old daughter named v......and all of her friends at school are LDS and she wants to be baptized so much! Well A came to church yesterday with all 4 of her cute daughters. V was loving every minute of it! Her kids ages are 1, 3, 5, and 8.....Hermana L sat with the 8 year old the whole sacrament meeting, A had the 1 year old and I was in charge of trying to keep the 3 and 5 year old entertained. Haha, F and Va are my knew favorite kids, haha. It was the best sacrament meeting! They loved it and we are going to teach them this week and they said that they would come next sunday too. Happy day!!!

The other story for the week.....remember a girl named M that I told you about how I asked her to be baptized? Well, we haven't been able to find her for 2 months, her phone didn't work and she was out of town. BUT, she came to the spanish ward christmas party....and guess what?! She said she was ready to be baptized! She had already had her interview and had been taught all the lessons, so she was baptized on saturday:D Hermana L and I spoke at it and it was such a great day! Lots of exciting things are happening down here!

Well I love you all. SO much! Feliz Ano nuevo! Can you believe that it is already 2013? Well we all lived through the end of the world, happy day! At the S's baptism she said that she thought that it was kind of funny that heavenly father wanted her to be baptized the day after the end of the world. Bwhaha. It was pretty funny:) And mom, your e-mail made me realize how busy 2012 really was! Teaching, Graduating, finishing work at Costco, going on a mission....crazy!!! That was a really good year, and it ended PERFECTLY! You know what I am looking forward too? Next year at this time the S's will be going to the Temple....That will be the BEST christmas present ever. Hope President will let me go :)

Any way. I love you all so very much. I absolutely love and miss you all so much. The pictures you sent are SO cute! I love you and hope you have a great first week of 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and random side note.....today because it is new years we are having p-day all day long instead of just until 6:00. We are going to watch despicable me!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited, espcially to watch it with Elder Yarmak and his accent, it is going to be such a fun night!
