Theres another storm

Hello Everyone! Everything here is awesome. I love being a missionary. Its still hot here everyday but in the winter it is cool. I was actually cold with my fan on the other night. IN the winter there is a nice wind. It really cools us down. The people here wear sweaters and warm closes. I always tell them this is nothing. ONce you have lived in Rexburg Idaho thats when you know what cold is. Well The people here are going crazy for the Strorm Olga. The people here love to talk about stuff like this. But they always over exaggerate everything. But i love hearing what they have to say. SO yesterday it rained a ton and today it is raining a little. But i guess this is the beginning of the storm. Ill make sure to keep my umbrella with me. Transfers are today but ill be staying here for awile. It look like 6 months Ill be here or 4 tranfers. So Ill think ill leave here this next tranfer or the 23 of January. I love Nizao its awesome. We have had lots of sucess with the people here I love them. Leo will be baptized this saturday. He is super excited to be baptized. He loves the gospel. His life has been changed dramatically. He is the most definently changed person i have seen in my mission. He loves the Book of Mormon and reads it everyday in his work being a security guard. I have a deep loev for him. He is my buddy adn friend. Im so glad for his choice. He knows so much about the gospel adn he applys it in his life. We actually talked with his son when he cut our hair for haircuts. He is awesome and had lots of questions. I hope he can have the same change. Gustabo came to church for the first time and loved it. It took his forever to get there and go to the service. He came to an activity, but didnt come to church because some ladies were talking and being irreverant the entire time while he was watching movies in an open house. But he is super cool and I think heel be a great leader in the church. He knows we are true messangers of Jesus Christ and always prays for us in his prayers. His wife is going to come back for the United States this week and i think she will help him to accept the gospel. Macae is an awesome young man who loves teh book of mormon. He loves us and gave us a ton of food the last visit. He is very sincere and Promises and fulfills his commitments. He is very special. I am very excited for him. We are also teaching a lady named Celia and she comes to church every sunday. She is currently build a house to live in because she is going to separate from her husband. We are also having sucess with the less actives and have gotten to back to church. I love my mission so much. Im trying really hard. I hope you all have a great week. Take it easy.

Hey.

Hey Everyone. How is life? Im so glad to be a missionary here in Nizao. Its awesome. This week we worked super hard and worked a lot with less actives. It really is sad that almost all all of them dont go to church because backbiting and talking among the members. I forgot the word in English but in spanish it is chisme. Sorry. That was weird. I have actually forgotton much of english because i have noone to talk to in english. Leo bore his testimony again in sacrament meeting and is feeling great for his baptism next week. He is awesome and loves the church and the Book of Mormon. he spoke a lot on the peace and joy he feels in the church. We also had a lady drop here baptismal date because she wants to wait for her husband. But she is cool and We are going to try and teach her husband the best we can. But he drinks and smokes a ton and has also beat her a couple times. We also learned a lot about boat building from one of our investigators witha baptismal date. His name is Daniel. He also is going to stop his coffee drinking after we taught the word of wisdom. I dont have a lot of time this week but Ill e mail you more next week. Sorry. I love you all and pray for all of you each day and night. Ill also send some sweet pictures. WOOOHOOO.
