All is Swell

This week was excelente! Haha Christmas was awesome we did a contacting activity downtown and then we did some service and then ate dinner. We ate tamales and turkey and pie and stuff, it was good. I had to go on exchanges with 2 of the Elders in my district this week which was fun. We had a few problems but I believe all is swell now. [He had to confiscate an IPhone and find 2 AWOL elders. Eek!]

David on the Roof, and the Monkey Bread he made for Christmas.

Yeah it was a calm week, I hope you all had a great Christmas! I am sorry I don't have very much to say but I love you guys and have a good new year!

Feliz Navidad

So this week was super good! Ummm on Wednesday my comp went down to Saltillo to go see the doctor, so while he was there I went and lived with the other Elders in my ward with was super fun. We were together until Thursday night which was our ward Christmas party. We sang some hymns for the ward and after the party we went and picked up my comp at the bus station. Poor guy he missed the party. And then we baptised Emmanuel, a little dude, but he's super chill. We helped his family come back to church and he got baptised, it was a super cool experience and it was the first time my comp baptised someone! And today is the official first day of our diet! My comp has to loose weight for his back and I just want to be skinnier, so we bought some diet stuff and yeah I am excited. I hope all is well and that you have a great Christmas! 
Con amor,

Monclova the beautiful, the city of 2 lies

Hello! This week was really good! We will be baptising sunday, and yeah this week has been awesome. We had our holiday conference friday and that was super fun, I got to see some of my old comps. And saturday we went to the hospital, my comp has been having back issues so we are heading down to Saltillo this week to see the mission doctor. But yeah that's the only bad thing. But all is good up it in Monclova. Hey - want to know what they say about Monclova?

Christmas at Mordor

Hello! This week was really good! We have started a new initiative as a church He is the gift. Its super powerful, and our part of all of it is we have little cards the we pass out and we carry a little dvd player and we offer to share the video with everyone, its super efficient, I have had the best numbers of all my mission thanks to these cards! And if you guys haven't seen the video, you should look it up on youtube! Funny story so I was on exchanges this week and we walked by a rock band, so we stopped and contacted the house went and jammed with them for a bit and then talked about the church it was sweet! Well I hope you guys are all enjoying the Christmas season! 

Con mucho amor!

P. S. [David was sad that Nicole & Ivan won't be here at Christmas, he wanted to speak Spanish with Ivan. Also he met a missionary who went to the same school as Ivan - Elder Velema.]

Is it gonna be spicy? Es que va a ser picante?

This week was really good, I went down to Saltillo on Monday and picked up my new comp and then we headed up back to Monclova Tuesday evening on the bus. It was awesome - we had some really good meetings. So my new comp's name is Elder Roldan. He is from Peru. He's pretty cool, is very confident, and it will be fun to work with him. Umm everything is normal here. It's gonna get cold again :( But yeah all is well. But so funny thing my comp hates spicy food. I have actually come to love it, but he has been very worried all week about if the food is spicy or not. It's kind of hilarius. But yeah all is good!

Love you guys!
