So you saw me in the Church News huh? It must have been when we were helping the temple open house or something like that, because I don't remember any picture that was taken so yeah that's cool.
Why did you kill Elmo?!!!? (kyle and Shay killed elmo at a comedy club. Just to clarify that.) He is my friend, mi mejor amigo! Oh well. Oh yeah I was wondering about the snow and stuff because here is just hot, and no snow. (rambles for a minute) This past week has been good, we had a baptism yesterday which went well. She had a lot of sins so I had to baptize her like 3 times. I don't know why it didn't work the first two times. So yeah It went well.
Lets see here, my comp is going home next week on tuesday. Oh we made the turkey dinner that you sent me, and it turned out pretty good, but it wasn't enough for 4 missionaires. (no because we sent enough for two... hmmm...) With the apple pie filling we put it on top of the corn bread and it was really good. So thanks for ssending it to me!!
Oh yeah so one of our investigators told us one that he has seen aliens and people floating. It was weird. I don't quite remember how we got on that subject or how his story relates to the Gospel so yeah, I think we were talking about baptism and stuff and how you don't need to know everything before baptism, but just need to have fatih. OH YEAH that was it then he went on how with more knowledge you are able to float and things like that so it was weird. Well that is about it actually so not to much, because it is Christmas here to and people have a lot of work and everyone here works for themselves whether it be clothes, tacos, music, or whatever it may be. Everyone is selfemployed.
So before we made the corn bread, we were wondering how we were going to make it because another strange cultural thing is that the oven is just a place with space to put stuff like cooking stuff, so it was chuck full with pots and things so what we decided to do was to make it in a pot, make sure the flames were low, and put a lid on top and it turned out pretty good. It cooked all the way through. Well yeah that is it for me. Love ya!!!

ps. I MISS YOU MOMMY!!!

(k to explain that is that last week, shawn told he missed everyone (even the pets) except for mom, he didn't list her. So she went on a strike this past week and didn't write shawn until he told her that he missed her too. So there you have it and we will try and keep things updated better! :) )
