HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Dear Mommy

THIS week was a little better than the last. but the lessons were not there.. and our companionship is doing alot better, it just took a while to understand each others personalities, but oh well, we got over it all... how is everybody doing? thats so awesome with Nathan.!! Dang i am like 20 years old! weird... anyway... Ithaisa is a 27 woman, has 3 absolutely adorable kids, boyfriend (baby daddy) and we are trying to get her divorced from the guy she married to get citizenship so she can get married to her boyfriend Isreal and then get baptised!!! her kids are Anthony, 4yrs old, Liliani 3 and Juli 1.5, she is struggling alot right now with a few of the commandments but is progressing really well. Elliot just basically denied the Gods help and blessings by refusing to be baptized until he is in a better situation.  he accepts tithing and refuses to pay it, and just a whole slew of things that dont matter! it is very frustrating.. anyway.

Eduardo and Gigi are doing great!!! they are so awesome, they want us to stay with them when we come back down.! so i said SURE!!! everybody in this branch says that i will probably be in this area for like half my mission, half my mission is approaching pretty fast. lol... i am like 2 mmonths away from my year mark! Ryan enters the MTC in 2months!!! crazy.. i hope teiler is doing alright, i have been really worried about him.  thanks for the camera, i need the new one, i will keep the card, and i am going to see if it will work in the newcamera.  with the garments, i want 3 of the boxer and three of the more supportive hopefully you caught that, i have been wearing my contacts alot more lately and they fit and feel well.. i had to buy sunglasses tho. but ya.  this week i was studdying about the expiation of Jesus Christ, sorry atonement of Christ, (the word for atonement in spanish is expiacion haha, ha english sucks lol)_ i dont have any pics to send this week. we have been too busy to take pics, so next week...keep praying for the work. we are struggling as of now but it will get better.. please keep praying for the investigators also.
