Familia Mia

Well that went fast. We have a goal as a mission for 100 baptisms in January. We are desperately searching to find people so that we can do our part. We had Juan (Leti's Brother) committed for baptism but he didn't want to do it now, because he didn't want his dad to feel like he was betraying him. So he'll just join the marines next Monday and probably get baptized there. But that was all we had.

We got a referral from church HQ for a lady that lives across the street from us. So we went looking fore the apartment and the address was wrong, so I called the phone number...it was wrong too...so we're driving away and I'm looking at it (on the text message) and it says 4314 and I suggest to Sis. Howarth 43H. So we go knock on the door expecting to have someone say no...wrong house...but she answered and said YES! Crazy huh...So now we have her appt. to go teach her. We're excited for that!

Oh! Another story...We were driving home one night to grab a bite to eat before we were to head to correlation. We saw this lady pushing her car and felt like we should stop. So we did. Really long story short, less-active family of 9 re-activated and 3 baptisms. Cool eh?...

Umm...Yesterday we were fasting and the Busby's invited us over for dinner to break the fast and well, we had the choice of really gross HAM sandwiches or Menudo. I had a big bowl of Menudo. Don't know what it is? Well it's not very good -ask someone that served a Spanish Speaking mission. ha ha ha.

I guess that is all we have for this week.

For New Years we had to be in by 6:30. So sis. Howarth and I counted down till 9:00 and celebrated. The she trimmed my nasty split ends.
