Hellooooo. It doesn´t look like you are going to be getting my emails while I am on today. How are you all doing? Things are going well here and don´t worry about the sickness, it completely passed; it wont come back. The lord promised these blessings to all people. He wont take them away if you keep having faith.

I´ve had some difficulties with my new companion, but we resolved some things, and we are going to work really well together. We have found a good family that wants to prepare to be baptized in the church and we are really excited about it.

We had a Christmas conference with president yesterday which was nice because it was just our zone and the president and his wife. He taught us some things and his wife talked to us and then we heard some stories about things. It was different being with the president with fewer missionaries around and having a conversation with him. He took us out to a nice Churrascaria and I sat across from him. He really likes pineapple with his meat just like you do dad! I love the Churrascarias here, they bring around chunks of meat on metal skewers and then they slice off pieces of what you want right onto your plate. I think I already told you about this a while ago though. It was really nice to talk with them though, it always makes me happy to be around the president. It´s refreshing, pulls you back into prospective.

Sooo I really hope you get this, but if not I won't talk to you until next week.

I was wondering if you heard from him this week...well, I guess not "if", but "what"...so thanks for posting! That was nice of the mission President. I'm glad he's feeling better because it would be hard to fast this month. haha I'm just kidding. Let me know, though, so I can tag it onto this coming Sunday! haha I'm glad he's getting a chance to work out things with his companion. Always useful for the future. haha Okay, I better get off now before I say something REALLY silly! Thanks again for posting and for raising such a nice young man!
