Happy New Year!

So we had a pretty good New Years.  We were able to have a good amount of lessons this past week, and we also got fed better than expected, since there were no sign ups last week for dinners.  It was a good week.  We were able to meet some cool people too.  A lot of people we met this week seemed to have some connection to missionaries in the past, and are willing to have us over and talk some.  We have also been able to see some progression with our investigators.  It is really cool to see how people change as they listen to the gospel.  Hopefully that change can continue and they can become members.  We did have to come in early for New Years, we had to be in by 8.  That was kind of tough, because we found out kind of late about that, we had a full day actually, and that made us back up some appointments, and we had to find time to knock for an hour still.  We managed, and it was good.  This Thursday we find out about transfers again.  This transfer has been a good one.  It started out really rough, but now we are doing better than ever down here, and we know that it is our Heavenly Father blessing us so much.  We see it everyday, and are so very grateful for all he gives us, and continue to work hard to show our gratefulness.   It is a little bit chilly here now.  Haha, probably nothing to you, but I've have become acclimated.  Its like in the lower 50's right now and SUPER Windy.  We were riding on the over here at an angle towards the wind.  It really beat upon us this morning.  But apparently it will be done soon, and we wont have to deal with it.  The only sad thing about that is I think it comes and goes opposite the humidity, so when the wind stops, it will probably get reallly humid here, but oh well.  Monday I'll tell you if we are staying or leaving or whatever happens.  Elder Badillo thinks he is going, he has used that for our advantage.  One of the members that feed us sometimes, they dont ever have any meat.  We told her that transfers were coming, and she signed up for this week, and she texted us later and said we are having pork.  It was pretty cool.  The members are super awesome down here, I love them so much.  Yesterday was a pros Monday, that is why I'm on today, it was pretty good, we had a lot of success.  I am greatful for everything I have, and everything my Heavenly Father has for me.  I know this church is true and that Heavenly Father watches over us, and is trying to lead and guide us into the right paths, and if we stop being so stubborn we can be blessed so much more.  I love this gospel and know that we are all spirit brothers and sisters.  I got to go, but I love you all and thankyou so much for your support.
