Hola Familia,
Sounds like another busy week. That´s awesome that basketball is going well. The BYU vs. Utah game sounds like it´s going to be pretty good. We better walk away with a win, seeing that it´s the last time it will count for the conference. But at least we´ll still have games with them in the future; I thought we wouldn´t.

Nora is still doing really well. She´s still excited for her baptism on the 4th. José, a nineteen year old investigator that we´re teaching is also really progressing and also preparing to be baptized on the 4th. This week we did the first exchange since Elder Sypherds been here, and I left to another area that´s in my district, and he stayed in our area with a latin elder that got here the same time as he did. They actually did quite well; and he was able to make it to all of the appointments. Understanding is still a struggle, but he´s improving a ton.

We found an awesome new investigator this week named Cristina who is from Bolivia. She was a reference from missionaries in another area that had talked to her when she was in her daughter´s house. She says she´s been searching for the truth, and that she´s going to do everything to be able to know if the chruch is true, and commited to be baptized when she knows through the spirit that the Book of Mormon is true. She reminded me alot of David, the man we baptized a couple months ago that was completely prepared by the Lord. He received the Melchizedek priesthood 2 weeks ago in stake conference and is doing super well. We hope to take out a baptismal date with her this week. There was a very good spirit in her home.

It´s crazy that it´s already Thanksgiving this week. Everything's been going by really fast. Hopefully everything goes well this week with the party for Thanksgiving and everything, and that BYU pulls out the big win at Utah. Well, we´ll talk next week then.

Love, David
