Dear family, I read the subject heading as ¨our son is dead!¨ You can
imagine that I took that as a shocker. haha Well things are just great

me ;) haha This has been a great experience for me. I'm learing so
much about responsibility and being chill :) haha so wait....ALLI

Missionera :) I'm so excited for her!! She will do big things!! Maybe

Well everyone :) time for the weekly update on the week!! As many of
you know I started training a couple of weeks ago, its been a real
growing experience, and I am learning ALOT. my companion is amazing,
we get along really well and he loves working and working hard. He is
already helping me in so many ways...and I thought I was supposed to
be helping him :) hahaha We are trying to get a groove on how we want
to work, where we need to put our focus and what we need to do do have
a ¨white Christmas¨ with baptisms here in Batan :) The truth is, I
don’t know who reads these emails, I don’t know who gets them, but I am
thankful that you take time to read them and are thinking about us. We
could use all the help that we can get. We are trying really hard to
have a baptism here in Batan. We thank you for your prayers, we would
ask...if you would have any ideas how we can have more unity between
the members, fun activities or even little things, also how to fortify
the less active members, we would love an appreciate any ideas or
things that you have seen work. We are so blessed and happy to serve
here. We want to help this branch grow to become a ward and to leave this
branch better then when we found it. We have a deep love for the
people here and are concerned for its growth. We have some good ideas
planned :) but we could always use more.  I thank you all for
everything you already do for me for my family, for my companion. for
the growth of this church and the wide spread of this gospel. Thanks
for all your prayers, I assure you they don’t go unnoticed. They are
very prevalent and I thank you sincerely. If you have any good ideas
for us please send them to my mom and she can send them my way :) I
know this church is true. I know that we can see miracles and that God
loves us all. I know that even though it doesn’t snow here during
Christmas, it can still be a ¨white¨ one eh ;) 

Thanks, Elder
