hey fam,wow things are sure going huh? well this week was awesome we were knocking doors and we got to the last door and i almost didnt knock it cause it looked like it was just for storage but then i heard some plates and spoons bang and so i knocked it. Then this lady walked and i dint even have to say anything she goes oh i have been waiting for you guys to come by- Turns out her husband is in the u.s. and while there got baptized and told her that she has to find the elders to come and teach her so when he gets back the can get married and sealed. Yeah it was awesome and we found a few other ones that look promising. This area is tough but the lord puts the people that are ready in our path. Well again i dont have much time to write im sorry but just wanted to share that one with you guys. Love you so much youll have to tell me how the cardinals do. Take careElder Crick

Hey fam.The family didnt come to church that was a little frustrating. They were looking promising but sometimes the people know the church is true but dont want to change their old traditions.Oh yeah before i forget i did get those packages thanks its sweet. Whos idea was that? Well this area needs a lot of work the people to like to keep commitments here. But with a little faith they can do anything. The other thing is that almost all of the people that are here live in apartments and so they only live here for three or four months sometimes. Yeah did you send some stamps with the package? I really have no idea where to buy stamps. Wow thats so crazy jill will be graduating is that true? Well i guess people are just growing up huh? Love you guys a ton more than you can imagine, you better get your year supply ready and use some of the old stuff or throw it away. Les extraño y les quierro mucho. Take care

Well the new area is good we found a family on saturday and they came to church the next day, a family of four so im hoping and praying all goes well with them,they seemed really interested so well find out in a while. Well Elder Perez is cool he is a convert well kind of his parents joined when he was four. He is from mexico in a state that borders guatemala, he isnt a leader and he has been out for almost 15 months. We have a big apartment and its pretty nice. I think ill place that bom soon cause one of the kids that went to church with us is really interested and loves to read, he is 9. SO it should be perfect. The post office a huh well i just dont know where they are and mexico city is sooo big that it might take a hour just to get to one. But yeah gotta go love ya guys hope things keep going well.

Hey well i didnt get the pic well at least it wont wont show up on this computer. But its a little tough me and my comp elder perez are new to the area and so we kind of are starting from scratch. At least the memebers are really supportive so that helps a lot. the area basically is made up of apartment buildings so that will get annoying fast. But i thought kenny already had a relative in the mission elder shockey i think. But yeah ill look out for elder south. Is that guy still going to buy the house? Oh yeah did you ever send some stamps? Cause i cant really send letters to anyone cause i dont have any stamps. Well not much going on we found a few good investigators this week but mostly we were getting to know the members so ill let you know how the next week goes. Well love you guys very much and sorry im not that good about taking pictures so ill try a little harder.

Yeah you guessed right my letter will be a little shorter even than normal. But yeah tom. are changes im getting a new comp. Ill let you know the details next week. Ummm yeah well have to figure something out for the next time cause that is rediculous. But yeah we dont have to pay anything on the cell phone but maybe on the phone that i used to call directly im think maybe 10-20 bucks. But yeah dont worry.Yeah well not much to say til i get to the new area. Love you guys have a happy new year. And take care

Hola,The baptism was awesome. I wont lie that was one of the best birthdays ive had. Really i forgot it was my birthday i was worried about the baptismal font filling cause we have been having problems with it. Then the lady that we baptized said happy birthday i was like ooo yeaaahh. Then after the baptism she invited us to go eat at this fancy restaurant. It was fun. And she gave me a Gucci key chain. Oh and tomorow we are going to the temple im excited for that. Yep i got the email with aunt tinas card. Tell her thank you so much and give her a bigg biggggg hug. Well things sound interesting on the slades side but sound pretty boring at our house. haha Dont worry you just have to make it fun. But yeah ill give you the details when i call. Umm yeah i dont know what the time difference is is cant be much. But yeah ill call that morning to agree on things alright? Well love you guys have a happy and very merry christmas. I love you guys so much.

Hello family,Im getting excited about calling. Yeah i was thinking that would be tough to move right before christmas thats good that kind of worked out just hope he will still buy it huh? Yeah this week should be good the work will be hard but we have two baptisms for my birthday. Yeah they are awesome. It is a single mom with her 11 year old son. It was cool cause we hadnt talked to her for awhile cause she had a lot of work, and she never told us if she was going to church this week so we went and there she was. She had left town for a few days and she said they got back at 5 in the morning then she went to church at 9. That was awesome seeing her faith and how ready she is to get baptized. I know that probably doesnt sound that awesome but this shows that she is really converted and that she will stay active. Oh and with the packages i recieved two on wednesday cause thats when we get our mail. Im guessing this wed ill get the third. Like really ive never heard of anyone not getting a package but im guessing if you put some worth a lot maybe not. But yeah there are always a lot from the states. But yeah i love this time of year its not quite the same here but at least they put up lights and trees and stuff. Well just remember the spirit of christmas and what its really about. Love you guys so much thanks for everything you do your the best family. Elder Crick
