I got kissed 3 times

Hey family it has been a good week. Not much has happened but work work work. Sorry it is really hott and I am not in the mood to write very much so I will see what I can do. This week was kinda hard with the new years and everything. You guys already know that here everyone loves to hug and kiss. And for new years day it is even worse. So the whole day I was trying to dodge all the drunk people, cause everyone was plastered… but even trying my best I got kissed 3 times, and one time it wasn’t a woman that kissed me…lets just say that the drunk guys here are really friendly…

Haha I finally completed a goal that I have had for the last year. I was able to finish all the Standard Works in one year. I finished malacia on new years eve. It was really cool and I realized how much I have learned and how much my testimony has grown. I have grown so much on my mission, I know that you cant grow this much in any other place in the world. The mission in a once in a lifetime opportunity. I love it so much, even thought there are days that are really hard. 

Ya well this week we lost a awesome investigator that we had. Her name is Gloria and we have been teaching her for about 3 weeks. She is so awesome, she is 18 years old and really wants to follow the lord. She has been assisting the church for about a month and a half. So we have been working with her a lot and she was reading and praying. Finally this last week so got her answer and said that she wants to be baptized. We were so excited for her but she seemed sad. We asked her why and she told us that she is moving to the coast for 4 months… oh man it stunk so bad. She said that she doesn’t want to be baptized there cause she has a lot of friends here. But she said that she is going to keep on going to church there and have the missionaries come over to teach her. Then when she gets back after 4 months she is going to get baptized. 

Other than that everything here is normal. I am burning but I will live…I hope. You guys will have to tell gma hall hi from me and that I hope she will be ok. I love you guys tons and hope that you have a good week. 

Love

Elder hall
