So the cambio just ended. I've been on my mission for six months as of 3 days ago? I forgot about it but at the end of that day I said it and my companion was like "What!? You didn't tell me? That's a big deal!" And I said "..... Really? Because I totally forgot I'd been out that long. No Big." So yeah that was that. haha.

This last week was pretty good. Our ward baptized 3 people this weekend. And yes. Por Fin (Finally) Diego got baptized. Guess who baptized him? Me! It was pretty sweet. Just saying. :D So yeah it was pretty sweet. I almost confirmed him as well but in the end the bishop did it. Whatevs though. And then President called me yesterday and told me that I am being transferred. This time I'm really going to the farthest missionary sector in the world. I told you the arguements we've had about that before But I'm really going to the farthest place where there are missionaries working. Supposedly the sector is a test of patience. But as long as I'm cool with my new comp (which I think I will be, we've met before He's pretty chill) I think I'll be good in the middle of nowhere. They called us last week and told us about the most exciting part of their P-day. They said "I'm on top of a mountain and I just saw a goat!!" Bahaha so we'll see how it goes.

Alright so Last week I added both Mom and Dad to skype and this week I logged in to the account and neither of you were contacts, So I re-added Dad because he told me his skype name and He just logged on so I know it worked BUT about the test call I think my mamita's daughter is going to try to call you guys this week which will be interesting. I think Ethan or Devin maybe could talk to her because Brandon is at his Army Dealio. That'll be funny for you all ¿right? oh but if she calls after the 15th brandon will be back. So I'll tell them to do that one day like the weekend around 12:00 your time. and Christmas day I think we're planning on doing the call so we will call around 1 or 2 depending on if my companion wants to call first or not so I'll verify that and let you know for sure next week.

So yeah That sucks about my bank account. But whatever. It just means I can't buy anything for myself in the next few weeks, which isn't a big deal because I don't think there is anywhere to go shopping in Por Venir (my new sector) so no big. And I'll manage with a card with Brandon's name because we just go to ATM's and pull out money it's the easiest thing to do.

Besides that I don't really know what to put in this email. Oh yeah. the other day when President was here they pulled up a video of my new companion opening his mission call and I thought it'd be fun to see mine. So mom should put that in my email next week :) just for fun. But I think that's all. Now I'm going to put pictures that my companion took of the baptisms of Diego and Allan. Diego has 2 sons but the other one didn't want to be in the picture with us. But it's okay My comp took a picture of him another day haha. Everybody here are Me (obviously), My comp. Diego, his wife Monica, His 1 or 2 year old Adolfo (called Toto). Allan, and Diego's other son David

Love you all. Talk to you next week. I'm excited for my Christmas Package!!
