12/23 E-mail

Yeah... about that box.. No, I haven’t gotten it yet. But every one got tons of packages yesterday (we had a multizona hence as to why I’m using email today) so I know it’s safe to send them. It just takes time. Elder Fernandez said his family sent him the package he got over two months ago. But I did get Leah´s small package yesterday, and she sent it on the 10 of December, so it’s doable. Also in that Christmas package could you put tons of Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish? They don’t exist here...

OK. So for this last week we had a baptism of two girls who are 12 and 14. The rest of the family is progressing slower. Way slower, but the girls were the reference and the rest of the family was a reference from the girls (named Merly and Mayra (pronounced my-ra)). We found a bunch of people and I’m pretty confident that they will all be baptized, but at different paces.

This last week during divisions Elder Fernandez and I were just about attacked by a pack of dogs. We were walking to an appointment and all of a sudden we were surrounded by 6 or 7 dogs all nippng at us. So we walked coolly through them and then took off. When we got to the house no one was there so we prepared ourselves (with rocks and a sling...ok no sling, but rocks) and walked back through the dogs. One of them charged and the rest followed suit. I threw my rock (which missed) and the vile dog in front decided the moment the rock hit the ground next to it that it would attack the other dogs... so we ran the heck outta there! hahaha. Yesterday was out Christmas multizona where we had a huge tie trade and all sorts of fun stuff. But it went late so we missed the last bus to Santa Rosa. So we got a p-noche in the secretaries house with our whole zone! (p-night as opposed to p-day for those of you who don’t speak español...) and on the way here this morning our bus got a flat. So the normal 3 hour trim was closer to 5. But its all good!
Love ya!
