Feliz Ano Nuevo

Fam.
what up. it was good to talk to you all last saturday but sue you are right it does feel like it has been forever i dont know why but it has haha. so yeah im gonna be straight honest with ya this week was pretty tough. we dont really have any investigators progressing right now so this past week we decided to to really focus on finding new people to teach and see if we can find some more sheep and herd em in. so this week work wise was tough a lot of walking a lot of taking doors and a lot a lot a lot of rejection haha. seems like 90 percent of the time we got doors slammed in our faces. evangelicos are pretty big down here and i guess they tell their congregations that were from the devil and the devil sent us here to decieve them. so naturally their are not very open to us. but we still found 3 or 4 people that have some potential i guess we will find out. guayians arent to big on commitment, kinda like JD on scrubs. they just dont like to be held accountable for anything. so they dont make promises haha. so yeah work wise it was tough. but i learned how to make arroz con leche like a pro and it is quite delicous when i get home i will have to dish some up and see what you all think. its pretty delicous. but im glad to hear the break went well and especially megans surgery thats totally awesome. about 90 percent of the population of the mandubi could use some serious mouth surgery haha. but yeah we spent the ano nuevo with the same member family that we spent christmas with. had a nice asado and it was really good i took some pictures so you guys can check it out sometime. it was super good to hear from tom and austy even though austin promised to write me and i didnt get an email haha. im glad they both decided to go on missions it really is fun. its freakin tough but it will be worth it when i get that first baptism. yea i dont really know what else. its gettin hotter and hotter by the day here. but its all good in my part of the world. dont worry about me im doing good just tryin to be as christlike as possible. whenever it gets hard i always think about elder hollands talk about the atonement and missionary work. he says why is missionary work so hard? because eternal salvation never was easy. and dont you think to be a disciple of christ you have to go through a little of what he had to go through? me and elder tippets always say that to each other whenever one of us gets down or complains haha we always just turn to each other and be like our own garden of eden. hahaha awesome well i love you all. the church is true. dont worry about me. keep it gangster
