Hi family!

So this week has been pretty good! Sailor is so cute haha. Oh man, I'm sad I'll miss her kitten years :( Great idea with the cat nip haha. Tayci can dance!??! When did this happen? When I left she could barely walk! My mind is about to explode! It's crazy how fast they're all growing. Whenever I want to make people feel bad (for example, last year this time a lady told me that I was bothering her during the christmas season because I was calling from the MTC. She told me I basically had no heart.) I tell them I have a niece I've never met. haha.

The Arguetas are great! We'll probably call from their house around 1 or so. Maybe later, to be honest I'm not 100% sure. But I'd think 1:00 would be good. They speak pretty good english so you can talk to them if you want as well.

I still have one tie left to open on Christmas!! haha. But that's about it. :( I'm doing better than elder phillips though, he has nothing left to open. This week we had a pretty good day of tracting, so hopefully some good comes out of it :S We'll see. We had a christmas party on Saturday which was great. But I'm trying to take the caffiene out of my diet again and so my head was swimming the whole time.

At church yesterday we had an awesome time! Gabriela and Nora of course came and all the seats were taken, so Gabriela sat alone -- ten minutes later Vanessa Recinos (one of the young women) left her family and sat next to Gabby! HOW AWESOME!!!!!! It was really sweet! The family is really getting involved in the ward, so we're happy.

We went over for an appointment the other day and Nora has 2 sons that are here in the states, Jose (12) just got kicked out of his house by his step-mom so he came to church and he gets along with us really well, he's a cool kid! So we're starting to teach him, too! Nora was asking us if there was anything we can do like if we knew any lawyers or anything. I was really caught off guard, I'm 20 years old! I don't know about that stuff! Anyway, when Jose got kicked out, Sister Argueta was of course, awesome, and left at 12:00am to go pick him up from Providence and take him to his mom. She is so great, I wish everyone was like her.

Anyway, I don't have much more time left, I love you and I'll be writing a special Christmas letter for you. I'm praying for each of you and may the Lord bless you this season!
