Fun but chaotic week

holy fetch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone is getting old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahah. oh my goodness. everything is going to be all changed when i get home. haha.

So...my week was suuuuper bomb. super good. We have planned to baptize this family that has like 28 future baptisms :) yeah talk about ensign photo with elder ROSS!!!!!!!!! hahah but the family is progressing ALOT!!!!!!!!!! its suuuuuuper amazing.

The other investigators are progressing. kinda......they just dont have that incentive to learn alot about the gospel. so we will have to talk with them. but we did have a suuuuper good lesson with the family Nahuelpan, which is the big family. One of the best lessons i have had in all my mission.

The mom asked us if we could give her son a blessing and we did and he was almost imeddiatly better. AMAZING. it was so cool. we gave three blessings and taught a super spiritual lesson. and then, we put a baptismal date with one of the kids. super cool. then on sunday they came to church!!!!!!!!!!!! it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY MISSION IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! the one thing i ask of the lord is that i can baptize this family. They are amazing and they have so much future in the church. its a GOLDEN FAMILY!!!!!!! haha. but my week was super good. we didnt have a whole lot of sucess but the success we did have was that family

so yeah. thats my mission. right now i am fighting for this family. we are just having alot of success. NOT ALOT. but enough of where i have been at the rest of my misison haha. so yeah. haha.

Thanksgiving was ok.... haha it was funny. we just ate chicken haha and noodles.

No training....Why? Fractured foot!

k........nate has some SICK MUSIC ON YOUTUBE hahaha i checked it out what a capo haha.
So.......turns out i am not training. ha.........yeah so i guess i will just tell ya why mom.
So like three weeks ago. I fractured my foot.......haha. yup. so i have crutches and what not. president thinks i am ready ^to train but my physical problem kinda kept me from it. but dont worry about me mom. it was between me and another elder more south from here that were going to train the elder. so probably next transfer when i am all better. christmas time. i am fine. everything is going great. we have the nurse of the mission talking with me alot to make doctor visits.

so yeah. haha. but with that. We have a SICK investigator. Vanessa. She is going to be baptised on the 18th. She is one of the more ready people i have met on my mission. She is soooooooo golden. and then on saturday we went to visit a little pueblo here in the mountians and we found a family. So with the 14 brothers and sisters in the family and they are all grown up..so lets just say that they each have 2 kids. how many baptisms is that. 28. yeah baby. we found a family hahaha so we will be working with them this next time here.

The mish is kinda a bummer with my foot problem but the lord is blessing me. i always wanted a broken bone when i was younger but it came and bit me in the toosh on the mish. hahaha. who woulda thunk hah. but here i am. truckin along in the mish. haha love it. its the lords work.

Love ya kids. Love ya lots.
