🎃 ¡¡HALLOWEEN!! 🎃 ~ November 5, 2016

Hola everyone! Well yes this week was my birthday and yes it was great! A little different in the mission, but still great. The Gallego family gave me TONS of treats and candies to eat this week and wow have I enjoyed them haha. I think that's the best part about having your birthday on Halloween because you get double! Presents and candy! ;) President's son took a photo of me and some companions here in the office and put it on the facebook page for all you at home to see haha. Every once in a while President's family tells us about what our families or parents are commenting or putting on the facebook page haha. It's fun.

Well this week we had Leadership Council again! And the last one of the year because in December we don't have meetings. Other than when the new missionaries arrive and when we have all the fun Christmas games and such. It was really good. We did lots of practices, one of them about prayer and how to help investigators get in the sacred habit of praying and asking God, and another about teaching an investigador going through a big challenge (like a death or loss of a job) and in teaching them by the Spirit to comfort them. It was really cool. Something that made the practices so cool was that we mixed up the companionships with others of the zone leaders and such and got to teach another missionary. It was cool to see how even in the practices the Spirit was very strong and in having unity with another missionary that isn't your companion. It was cool.

So yeah I think that's about all that has happened this week! It was great. Fast. And well the beginning of a new month, and a very special month at that... the month of the Turkey!.... Oh I mean of Thanksgiving! haha. I love you all! Take care! Don't dream too much about Richard Parker! ;)

¡​Ciao ciao​ !

Love,

Wow sounds like an awesome day! Tell Brie congratulations on her baptism! That is sooooooo awesome! Such a big step on to a long path of joy and happiness!
My birthday was great! Didn't feel like my birthday... again... but oh well! That's life! It was good. the Gallego family gave me TONS of candy and treats to eat. I still have quite a few. They gave me an oreo pie and sang to me in Spanish and English, with all the missionaries here in the office, and yeah! Haha actually it's President's son, Sebastian, who has been doing that. Maybe his daughter too, but I think it's more his son. He took the foto.
Say hi to everyone there too! I love them all!

Happy Halloween and a happy new week too to everyone there haha.

Today we found some Tide detergent for our washer in Price Smart, the store like Costco! I'm excited because it will be really good to get a really good wash with my clothes. The detergent we have always been using has been like the cheap kind that doesn't do a super clean.... Oh and just so you know I was able to get some new garments here in the office. They only had size M of the round neck shirts so they are a little big, but oh well! haha.
