5 November 2012
Hey family,
  just wanted to ask a few questions.  

I got my trunky papers last week and I have to put down if you are coming to pick me up or not.  Also, the airport nearest to my house.  But, I think that we could just put Salt Lake.  I don`t know what you all think.  I would like to go home, but I would also like to see Kevin and Cheryl and Kyle and Paul and Grandparents...  So I need an answer by next week. 

I´m writing a letter right now.  We went to the beach today and got back super late.  So... yeah... Pochomil. 
love, hna tew
Hey Family,
How is everyone doing?  I hope that everything is going well and that you are all enjoying some Christmas music! :) 
Cheryl, thanks for the note.  The kids look so cute.  I miss you all a lot!  We`ll be sure to hang out when I get back!!!! 
Kevin, sounds like there are a lot of job options.  Good Luck!
Dani, the kids look so cute!  And I loved the pictures of the munchkins.  They look so cute!  And Adam looks big!  I am excited to get to know David. 
Mom, thanks for the update.  I miss you a lot.  Don`t get too trunky. ;)  I`ll be beating you in Boggle before you know it. 
Tanner and Nani, thanks for the note.  Love you both! 
Dad, thanks for the note and thanks for always writing me!  Sounds like the politics are pretty tight. 

Um... it`s great to be back in my area.  I am really enjoying being with my companions.   
Some things I learned this week... 
    Every lesson can be spiritual if we meet the investigator`s needs and testify of Jesus Christ.  WE have an investigator that is going to be baptized this Saturday, Danilo, and we had to teach him the word of wisdom.  He`s a very humble man that has a lot of problems.  When we got there he talked about all the problems that he has had and it was kind of sad.  We started the lesson talking about how Jesus Christ gives us strength the overcome our problems.  Sometimes we pray for him to take our problems away, and that`s a possible solution, but sometimes we need to develop more strength.  So then we talked about how living the gospel gives us the strength, and we started into the word of wisdom.  Usually, teaching the word of wisdom isn`t a great spiritual experience.  (the wife complains about how the husband drinks, they ask about coffee...) but this time we had a very spiritual lesson.  And it was neat.  I`ve been feeling the spirit a lot more in the lessons lately, and I love that.  It happens when we testify of Jesus Christ.   
   We put four baptismal dates this week with families!  yay!  Hna Real puts fechas like crazy.  One cool thing that happened is that we were walking down the main street and passed by a less active`s house, and the sisters had been teaching the husband before.  We stopped to say hi and the husband was reading the bible.  He said, you know what, I`ve been thinking about when I get baptized if I`m going to wear some shorts or what I have to wear.  He was going to get baptized before but then he stopped letting the sisters come visit him.  So we were like, um... Can we share a message with you right now?  And his wife was actually pretty supportive.  His name is Ramon, and his wife is Daysi.  That was kind of crazy miraculous. :) 
   Alex and Valeria had a baptism date for this weekend, but they went on vacation for a few days and Alex`s family said a ton of things about how they have to baptize their 3 month old baby or Satan will have power over her.  We are praying a lot for them. 
   Lately I`ve been trying to develop charity.  And PMG says really awesomely how we can do it.  I am trying to work on diligence too.   I don`t take advantage of all the opportunities that there are sometimes. 
   Georgina and Martin are another family.  Martin wants to change.  he wants to stop drinking. And Georgina (member) is really supportive. 
   One night I was writing in my miracle book and the phrase came to my mind...These are days never to be forgotten.  During the day I think about all the beautiful experiences and feeling that have occurred, and I wish I could remember them all.  At night I`m tired, I have to write in the area book and wash a shirt or something, and I just don`t have time to write in my journal.  I hope God helps me out a little and lets me hold on to all the things that are happening.  
   This is a wonderful area. There are a ton of houses. 
Adios, 
Love you all, 
hna tew
