Decemberrrrr

Thanksgiving here was pretty good. We had dinner with a bishop in a different stake but we had fun so it was good. We went out with his son and were able to teach 4 or 5 lessons. and luckily for us we only had to eat 1 dinner. We didn't have a bunch of families forcing us to eat.

I'm sorry the weather is cold there. It's good for a little bit, but when it starts dropping into the 20's and teen's it's not so fun... But it could be worse. I could be in Wyoming. My MTC companion got sent there, and I wanted to see what the weather was like so I called Tell Me and it said it was 5 degrees. Toooo cold for me.

Well updates with what is going on with me. I'm no longer with Elder Gudino any more. Which is kind of bad. He was a good companion. My new companion is Elder Guillen. He's from Paraguay. He's been out for like 8 months or something like that. But he can't really speak english so I'm making sure he speaks it in the house. Because he doesn't want to work at it all his last companions just gave in and spoke Spanish. But I can do it. He's a little annoying.. I don't know it'll be an interesting 6 weeks. I'm still covering the same area, but they took away the Spanish branch so now I just cover 1 ward. The branch they took away is the one that didn't really have any work in it, so I won't really miss it too much. One of my friends from the MTC got transferred to the zone I've been in for the last two transfers. So when I heard I was staying in the area I was excited, but then I found out even though I'm staying I'm being moved to a new zone. This zone isn't as good as the one I was in.. But oh well. That's how the mission goes sometimes. Oh, and they're changing the e-mail system so My e-mail is going to be Kyle.Andrews@myldsmail.net. I think. OH and we were able to have our 4 baptisms this weekend so that was a good way to end the transfer. And for the first time I got in the water and baptized somebody. All 4 of them seem like pretty solid converts so that is good. Hopefully they'll stay active.

Here are some pictures from this last week. The first two are from the baptism of Ivet, her son Issack, and daughter Daniela. Her uncle (Hermano Sarmiento) used to be a bishop and she is living in the house with them, so she should stay strong. The third one is of the person I baptized. Alicia. She's been coming to church for 2 months or so on her own so hopefully she'll stay strong too. Then the last two pictures are of me and Elder Gudino messing around With the Sarmientos and Ivet. We had a pretty good time.
