Hey!
Thanksgiving: James Bond & football, haha, sounds fun.
This week I got to eat a tamale with bacon in it. Be jealous, because it was delicious.
So day one here: I got to the changes a little late because the member that was driving is like deaf or has selective hearing. I think I know what it's like to have a teenage son. We finally got to changes, got my companion and accidentally left one of my bags in the van. Ugh... on to the new area.
The house that we live in is large and two companionships live there, but they had the house filthy and the landlady is super annoying and is a great fault finder, haha. So we, as of yesterday, were on the point of getting kicked out of the house. We talked and have till the 3 of January to find a new house, or in other words i don't have to worry about moving, haha.
But the house was filthy dirty. We cleaned it. It's sick (a good thing) now. Like we have three or four couches sick, haha.
The ward is cool. We have lots of less actives to visit and members that like the missionaries, and investigators that are progressing. We had three baptismal dates for the weekend before I come home but two of them didn't come to church so I wont be here for two of them, lame. But, there are some pretty cool people here.
Idk, I get along with my comps. One of them loves cooking, so I'm stoked because he enjoys making us food.
Ummm, idk. We visited a bunch of less actives and 19 came to church on Sunday so that was sick........... there are two different families here that the sister has like 32 years old and her son is 18......... other words had a kid when she was 14. two different people. wow. or a 23 year old with 4-5 children.
ummm idk I'm doing fine out here in la perla. or the pearl. hahaha have fun before i get home cause I'm going to come home and sleep for like a week. hahaha I'm tired all the time.
apart from sister Stutz having Facebook she has a blog http://stutznegger.blogspot.mx/
her blog is a hilariously different perspective being the mission presidents wife.
you'll probably like that.
hahaha love you tons mom
have a great week.

Week 96 - Last week of changes
Last week of the changes. We spent a lot of time in a pueblo called Apipilhuasco.
Super, super cool place with only like three different members of the church. And one investigator
The investigator is super cool but super like flakey...…Idk.... One day he'll get baptized and all his family. His wife is already a member, when she got baptized they had like marital problems now that everything is better cause of the principles of the church she comes less cause she spends more time with her family...…
But, slowly but surely the husband will become a member of the church and their like 5 children.
The other family is a family that got baptized a long time ago, but they never really or don't want to say they felt the spirit. So.... We are teaching them as if they were new inv. its pretty cool.
we also had an activity to go to the visitors center and we invited all the ward all the less actives, we've been planning this activity for like a month or more. we rented full bus to go. 1300 pesos which is like a little under a hundred bucks. at 10 which was the planned leaving time. no one shows up. nobody. at 1115 we had 8 people. in a bus that seats 32. ugh...... so we went anyway with those people...… and one was an investigator i have and she closed her heart and wanted to fight about the money used to build the visitors center and a bunch of stuff instead of learning and feeling the spirit. after the wonderful video of the family that they have she pulls her phone out and takes a pic of the tv. cause its huge. but seriously strong spirit present and hard hearts.
What else. Not a lot ,more, have changes. Lame......................
My last 4 weeks in the mission in a different area. Um not going to get to know anyone. That stinks. And its cause president wants me to end my mission as a ZL.........… for four weeks.
I'm not really into missionary titles and I'm not too excited to be in a new area for the last four weeks in my mission.
Ugh more reporting... more talking to leaders every day.
Nothing more. Really. I had to wash two weeks of dirty clothes cause I don't know how but I accumulated white shirts and garments for like two weeks.
Love you tons,

Week 93 - Halloween
I almost forgot to shoot you guys an email.
How are you doing? Didn't snow on halloween?
Speaking of halloween, Mexico's weird cause they've adopted a ton of stuff from the states and so now in addition to day of the dead they celebrate halloween. And I don't know why but we were instructed not to leave on halloween but i'm nearly positive the largest parts of the festivities were today and yesterday. But who knows.
so last week, Monday was mission conference. with elder Nelson, Tuesday was p day and then they cut Saturday in half making it useless to me so i had Wednesday Thursday and Friday to work this week so that was kinda hard. we found some new people to teach and we have a lot of important appointments this week. we had a ward activity on Friday too, it was like a talent show, some people came dressed in costumes but instead of showing talents they did like an evening of improv. they assigned songs and had costumes.... they assigned us the village people in between macho man and ymca...... haha pretty crazy
This morning we played soccer with the young men in the ward, cause they didn't have school.
umm...… we've decided to use the phone a lot more to schedule and verify a lot more, cause holy cow its horrible to go to a pueblo for an appt. and they're not home...…
Not a whole ton to share, we had an investigator at church yay! Marcus, he's the husband of a recent convert we're going to the visitors center with them on Thursday.
ummm.....
Love you guys tons!
