November 30th Letter

hey mom, i did take money out, for my b day and christmas. its all i want and i moved. i am in an area called estanzuela. im in the church thats right beside the temple so i get to see the temple atleast one time a week. here they have the book store in this church so im happy. i feel like im in america finally. it has carpet and i have a new comp. his name is elder smyth from utah. he is cool. we are the zone leaders here. my zona is where the ofices of the church are too, so im pretty close to everything. in monterrey once again and ill probably finish my mission here. we had 3 confimations but our baptismes feel through. hopefully we will make up for them this week we have like 5 possibles. but that stinks about johnny. i feel so bad but the lord knows what he is doing. and the greatest thing u can do is share the gospel and be a good example. so do that mom. from what i remember we never did it too much. the gospel is the best thing u can give so take it to a less active or to someone thats not a member. well mom i have to go. i love you lots. im doing good. bye
