Oh man well what a week! So to start the week off we had my last zone conference.... Wow saddest thing of my life having to say goodbye to some missionaries that i love so so much was just the hardest thing i have done sense i left you all. But also during that time i was asked to bare my departing testimony as well. Ha all i could do was crack jokes to make sure that i didnt just bawl my stinking eyes out! It was really interesting standing up there and giving my last testimony in front of all the missionaries that i have come to love so much. But as i was standing there i really feel like i had the chance to just reflect on my mission for a second, i honestly am not the same person i was 3 years ago. Through the atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ i have changed for the better. My interests are the same my hobbies are still the same, but me as a person has changed. And i love it. The past two years of my life has been the greatest two years of my life. Its crazy to think that it is even coming this close to closing... I will miss it a lot! 

Okay enough of that! We do have another baptism coming it was supposed to be this up coming saturday but we have to push it back a week which is cool, she is still solid just hasnt come to church enough :). I did get the camera, whos was it before? Ha there was an sd card in there already and i just had some random pic of someone sitting at the computer hahaha it was funny! We are at 1 o'clock church as well here we have three different wards that go to the same building as us. One of them is a YSA ward so that is always rough cause they always have food!! But at the end of the year we will switch to 9 as well! Man you all have so many christmas parties! Ha i am going to miss them so much this year i can already tell! Ha but Skyping home to yall on Christmas will be the greatest thing ever! Ha its gonna be awesome just cause i will see you this month and next month i will get to see yall again! But that last time will be a lot better than that first ;). Oh man ha next month... That is scary to say! But i will try not to open that present... It will be hard ;) Hey have you guys seen that He is the Gift video if not watch it and share it with people okay? And the camera it self didnt get stolen my sd card did... Ha its whateves :) Hey i love you all so much! I really hope that this Christmas we all will focus on what truly matters and that is the Birth of our Lord and Savior even Jesus Christ! He is the greatest gift given to all of man kind :)

What a week... Ha well to start things off I will give yall the bad news... I lost my sd card... My whole mission is gone with the wind haha oh man all I can do is laugh cause if not I start to cry, I mean if it was at the beginning of my mission that would have been all good but nope it happened two months before my mission ends :).
Okay you debby downer on to happier things! Well the area is stinking sweet! I honestly am loving being in a walk area first off and second being down town. Saturday we went down town we got a guy that lives on the strip here in down town and so we went and tried to contact him but I forgot his address and our list of addresses and we didn't have a key to get back in to our apartment cause I was on exchanges oh and I for got the guys name... I was thinking it was John when we were over there so we were trying to ask people if John lived here and everyone was telling us no, but turns out that the guys name is Stephen.... HAHA dang it I love me! So sense all that fell through we went to Market Square and looked at all the Christmas stuff and tried to talk to people. Turns out that people don't like it if you come up to them while they are shopping and try to interrupt them in their "shop mode"... Cause if we talk to them they will not be able to find all the good buys and have to buy all the expensive stuff. Who would have thunk it ;) haha in my opinion everything there was expensive but I also live off of 135 a month so its been PB&J for the last 7 months ;).
We are teaching a few people right now one will be getting baptized on the 13 of this month her name is Patti. She is a single mother of a 2 year old boy and is the coolest person! She is just so humble and willing to do things to bring herself and her son closer to God. We haven't been able to meet with her a whole bunch but she is still the coolest cat around here! Our other investigator Gregory who was just baptized got the priesthood yesterday! He and his family are amazing! I love them so much!
Oh Thanksgiving was pretty sweet! We had a Turkey Bowl!! It was so muddy and so stinking fun!! Whole cow was it awesome! That started at like 9 that morning and when until like 1130ish oh man it was a throw back to the good ole days, pretty much just tried to relive my glory days through that game ;) but more than anything I wound up on the ground at the end of every play and was sore for the next few days, it still aint fully gone ;). But that is what I call living my glory days! After that we went and spent most of the day with Miss Vikky and her family we cooked with them and all that jazz it was super fun actually! There was a lot of none members there and we talked with all of them and at the end we gave a sweet little lesson with all of them and a lot of them said that they want to learn more! So we will see what happens there! After that we went over to the Alvarados they are a Family that has moved here from Puerto Rico, man was their food good! TONS of rice! So good! I gained like 30 pounds that day! But at the Alvarados the Matembus were there as well, that is Gregory and his family They are the bees knees!
But I am glad to hear that you all had a great week! I love you all so much!
