Hey This week was alright. Elder Espino came and doesn´t know english which has been interesting. I know a lot more spanish that I thought I did. Or maybe I don´t and he just thinks I´m an idiot when I talk haha. I don´t know. But anyways he´s pretty cool. From El Salvador. People here ask him what language they speak there haha... I don´t know it just seems obvious to me but maybe not.

Anyway we decided that we need to start focusing on the less active members of our ward after teaching so many people the first or second lesson and getting to the part where we invite them to be baptized and them saying, Oh, I already was baptized.... So.... This transfer is going to be a little different. There is a lot of pressure to make this district (Valle de Uco) a stake because Mendoza only lacks 5 stakes before they can build a temple here. So we will be working a lot with the members and I bet I will see a temple at least announced before I leave here. I hope so. There is a lot of work to do. We need so many more priesthood holders and full-tithe payers in our district. Yesterday we only had 21 people come to church including me, Elder Espino, one investigator, and the President.

But its a work in progress.

Christmas is right around the corner. Thats crazy. Umm I can´t think of anything. I could use some more flosser things haha... I haven´t seen those here. Maybe I will just have to use real floss now. Or stop flossing haha.... Um christmas present. I really am great. I don´t lack anything... How about more pictures (just over email) of the family and all those types of things...

You know how at Christmas we always draw names and everyone just gets something for that person? Well in addition to gifts or whatever else you do, write that person a nice letter. And open them and read them on Christmas Eve. No other requirements. Even if that person can´t read (You all know who I am talking about... Hannah.) Hahahaha just kidding love ya Hannah. Well that was mean. But for real, thats all I want. Let me know how it goes yea? Okay. I know this Christmas is going to be way great for us.

Well I love you guys. I earnestly hope that everything is great and that my prayers are answered on your behalf. Your prayers are certainly answered on my behalf and I will always be greatful for the way you labor for me and others in your prayers.

God knows us.

love,

Elder Daybell
