Thank you all for being so good at writing John!! I knew I raised a good bunch!!
Love you,
Mom

Well things are gettting better. The past week we got along a lot better. I think we are starting to see things on the right page. Thats crazy im going to be talking to you next week. Umm i think how they do it here is that i call the day before than i call again on christmas im sure i will have more info next week. Well last week was pretty fun as well we went to a restaurant called amigos de la vaca( friends of the cow) and we each ate half a chicken. It was huge and got ice cream after. The president was there and everything so that was pretty fun. Well about bolivia we dont know how long it will be now cause they closed down the airport last week again. But elder nash is trying to get us back in. I am getting my identification next week too to be here. Cause i have been here for 3 months now. We do have some baptisms planned for this month that im pretty excited for. Yesturday for lunch it reminded me back of bolivia because i had cow intestine soup. This time is was a little more gross. Im not sure why but it was pretty ugly looking. She told me it came right from the cow yesturday and i dont think they cook it too well. So that was interesting. Well its starting to get hot finally. Not going to lie it almost gets as hot as bolivia. And im losing weight which i have been waiting on ever since ive been here. Dads thats cool that you won that award deal even though you didnt get more money. At least your getting noticed. Mom im glad your just ¨partied out¨haha i wish i could feel that again. Thanks for the basketball update, i do remember that big red head. Has he not gotten better at all? That stinks about brookes turtles always got to start off somewhere. But i bet she still ate them even if they were burned. And i did hear they are going to build a temple here in trujio or somewhere but its not in our mission so i dont think i will ever go. Yes we go to the lima temple every 6 weeks. I think we will be going either this week or next. But i think it might be closed for chirstmas. And figured out that changes are january 7th instead of the 31st because of the parties that will be going on. Which doesnt make since to me if we change at 2 in the afternoon anyway when nothings happening. So that means a little more time with elder laurente haha. But i will be fine. Me and elder ridge never pair up cause we cant. One of us has to be a leader or something but we are going to try and ask one day. But we do talk a lot every night. He got a package from his mom that we enjoyed. We aer going to be making a gingerbread house christmas morning wich i am excited about. But thats really about all that is going on. But thanks for everyone that wrote me. I dont have as much time as normal to write some of you individually but i love you all and i will try to write to yall more sepratley next week.
