Answer to DAD:

Well I'm doing really well here in the new area. Since the area basically had nothing going when I got here we have been really working on getting things going here. More than anything that involves getting the ward excited, because if I do 140 contacts (which is our weekly goal) I usually find 2 people that actually let us teach them and normally they don't progress. Referrals are really the way to go. So we are planning all sorts of activities and such with the ward. Last Saturday we had everybody go out with us and give out pass along cards. I think that really helped everyone get the missionary spirit.
 
But we are teaching a few families, the only issue is how far they live from the chapel. It's difficult to get people to church here. As far as what we are teaching, it's just the normal stuff in Preach My Gospel.
 
Wow Kasen is going to get baptized already? Yeesh. He doesn't want to wait 10 months?
 
I can't think of anything for my Christmas list. Another calendar would be cool. Peanut butter is always nice too. But nothing special.
 
I'm going to go read Mom's email now. Tchau tchau.

Answer to MOM:

More Spanish speakers........... boo. Just kidding, Spanish is alright. I just hope they know that when they pray in Spanish the answer will come in Portuguese. But that is super cool that they are both going to places so far away.
 
I haven't heard anything about more missionaries, but I can only hope. I want to train an American so bad. It would be so much fun. I want to see how I was when I got to the mission.
 
I'm really glad to hear that Grandma Bruce is doing better. And that your mom is handling things well. They are both always in my prayers.
 
Nothing really happened for Halloween here. Some members had a family night but we didn't go because we had another family night marked already. I was a little bummed but not to big a deal. They saved some cake for us.
 
I'm still waiting for a puppy. I will get one for Christmas someday. I know it.
 
Well I saw a tiny bit about Sandy at a members house. Looks like it was pretty bad.
 
How's the election? Is it this week? I'm sure everyone will talk to me about it.
 
Well that's all I got for this week. Thanks for everything.
 
Com amor,
