Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone!!
Its another pday!! Time seems to be going by faster and faster. One week from now is transfers. Im counting down the days till Jordan enters the MTC!! Im so excited for him. But all is well here, same stuff as usual. I didnt hear about anyone dieing on Halloween so thats good. We have been doing a lot of service the past week and its a lot of fun. Yesterday we cut down a pana tree and we started a coconut tree but we didnt have enough time. We also destroyed a wall at the Mendozas house (the family we baptised) They have been redoing their house and so we have been helping them a lot. But Thanksgiving should be fun, ( it is an american holiday mom, but Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.) Im pretty sure they do the traditional thanksgiving dinner, but probably puertorican style. So there will be a side of arroz y habichuelas and tostones and some other creations. ha ha. And it seems like the whole ward wants us to come to their houses and eat so it should be great. No, i havnt gotten food poisoning yet, but i have gotten used to having diareha, ha ha. So, we have been teaching a few people but they keep falling, so we dont have anything secure right now. Its been really interesting hearing about all the different religions lately. Its pretty funny too. Ive heard a lot about the Jehova's Witnesses, and have talked to a few. Its a really depressing religion. ha ha. We talked to a guy recently that read about the church and wanted to know more so he contacted us and we taught him and gave him a Book of Mormon and then he dissapeared. So that was a drag, we thought he was golden. Oh and a few days ago our house got flooded from the rain one day and our living room and kitchen were full of water, so we spent like an hour sweeping it all out. Its fine now though. But thats pretty much it in my world. Keep the emails and letters and stuff coming, by the way i havent gotten the package yet. Heres some pictures. I love you all so much!!

Short and Sweet

Hello Everyone!!
Thanks for the emails. This week was good. Im going to be short because i wrote this all once but i deleted it on accident. The baptism was good the spirit was really strong and i did the ordinance. The computer im on wont let me download the pictures so ill do it next week. I wasnt able to email on wednesday because it was veterans day and the library was closed, so pres. gave us permission to email today. Money is best if pres. Dewsnup says so. Wow, thats sweet for Aubrey, hope it works out well for her. Ill keep an eye out for Elder Martel the next transfer meeting, maybe ill be his trainer?! Tell the ward missionaries need referals, every member a missionary. Members need to find the people, missionaries teach them to baptism. Well thats all i hope all is well, keep the emails coming and I love you all so much!!!

Trick or Trunk



Hey Everyone!!!
Thanks for the emails. This past week was good. For Halloween we had to be in at 6 because the mafia was going to start killing people. So just normal stuff around here, ha ha. So, we have a baptism this weekend!! Im stoked, im doing the ordinance too. Hopefully we get some more baptismal dates here. Thats crazy how Brooklyn is growing up so fast! She is getting so big. And the rest of the kids too. I have been writing Trevor, im so happy with how well hes doing, hopefully he will serve a mission now. Oh my comp is from Argentina but he has a Brazilian last name because his dad is from Brazil. Elder Pereira Do Carmo. Sounds like Thanksgiving should be a blast. Our ward here is having a Luau for our thanksgiving party. Well, love u all a bunch, thanks for your prayers and your letters! Here are some pictures from Trunk or treat, the puerto ricans call it like trick and trunk and pretty much everything else except the correct way, haha. Oh and when they trick or treat they have like a song they sing at every door, i thought that was interesting.
