Hola Familia,
It sounds like everyone had a fun Thanksgiving, except with how the game turned out. That´s too bad that we outplayed them but couldn´t finish them off. Today with the zone we had a Thanksgiving dinner from a sister from the church that does all the food for zone conferences and mission meetings. It was really good, but we had chicken instead of turkey and played soccer instead of football.

This week we did a lot of traveling and weren´t in our area very much. Thursday we had to go to the capital to do documents for Elder Sypherd, so we were traveling around from like 7:00 in the morning until 3:00. And then Friday we had to go like 2 1/2 hours away to do a baptismal interview for the sisters in my district. They live in a town that´s in the middle of nowhere and there´s only buses that go out there like once every 5 or 6 hours. So we lost the whole day, but it was an awesome town. Their branch had like 10 members, and the church is in a building that used to be a dance club. It was cool. The man that got baptized there this week was really awesome and it was a good experience doing the interview with him.

Nora is super excited for the baptism this week; Jose also. But Nora has to have an interview with President Stapely, and he doesn´t have very much time this week with transfers coming up and everything so we hope that we´ll be able to get the interview and everything so the baptism goes well Saturday.

This week I´m going to be away from the area all week again it seems like. All the district leaders and trainers are having training meetings Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Elder Sypherd will be working with a priest in the ward when I´m at the meetings. Everything's going well here. We pray that we can find out a way for Nora to get interviewed because she is very ready and very excited. We have transfers this next Monday, so we´ll see what´ll happen.

Well, we´ll talk next week familia.
Love, David.
