hey family,
  Mom, thanks for the recipes and everything. Um, I still havenñt gotten the debit card, unless it´s in one of the packages you sent for Christmas that I still haven´t opened. 
Love you a lot!  
   Dad, I think that you need to be here Wednesday morming in the chapel at like 8:00 so maybe you should fly in Tuesday night.  That would be the 5th I think. 
   I´m thinking that we can leave Managua on the 11th or 12th.  I just want to see KEvin and Cheryl and Kyle and Paul and Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Campbell in SLC and then go home.  So, I think you all come the 5th and we fly out the 11th in the morning. 
Love you

thanks mom,  you are the best. en serio.  Como le va en el Español.  Si habla cada día con mi papa y siempre escucha bién va a poder entender lo que dice la gente aqui, cuando venga.  Espero que este bien y que la actividad CCC sea exitosa la quiero mucho,
hna tew

Hey folky folks,
  Grandma, thanks for all the letters.  I really do appreciate every single one that you send and I am grateful!  I just don´t always write it.  But thanks a lot you are a wonderful grandma!  Hope you are enjoying Christmas!!  Love you a lot! 
  Grandma and Grandpa Tew!!!  I hope you are doing well and are enjoying Christmas too! 
   This week was the Purisima.  Let me share the recipe.  Take one Halloween.  Throw away all the costumes.  Put a statue of the virgin Mary in your house with a ton of decorations and Christmas lights.  Then the people pass by singing to the virgin and the people in the house hand out food or candy or toys.  We live in a really catholic part of town.  It was crazy. 
Mom, thanks for everything.  You really are the best.  I love you a lot.  Thanks for everything you do and everything you teach me.  The CCC sounds fabulous!  Who all is involved from the community?
SKYPE  Kevin and Cheryl, I´m sad you are not going to be there.  Maybe Skype has new technology... three way?  If not you call at least and I can talk to you all a bit.  Kevin Congrats again for your dissertation I am so proud of you.
  Kyle thanks for the note.  I will try to enjoy todo!  Hope you`re doing good.
Paul, hope you are doing well Love you!
Doug, I want to see your fale.  Sounds awesome!
Dad, thanks for the letter.  Sounds like the retreat was a big success.
   We have had a busy week.  It´s been great and kind of stressful.  We are inviting everyone to get baptized.  and we are contacting a lot.  We´re planning some activities with the ward.  We need to work with the members more because there are a ton of powerful people in the ward, but they aren´t visiting.  And the ward has been without an Elders quorum president for NINE MONTHS!!!!  So,  yeah home teaching is not a strong point right now.  And our converts are really struggling.  Carlos and Francis are out of town or something.  They haven´t answered their phone and they aren´t home.  But we have faith.  
We have a family that is progressing, Ricardo and Patricia.  Ricardo is quitting to smoke (I don´t think that´s how you say it...) quitting smoking.  I don´t know how to speak English... 
Anyway.  Life is great.  This will be a great week.  We had a ton of lessons and A TON of new investigators.  So, hopefully they can progress, go to church, repent, get baptized, go the temple, teach their children the gospel, die, go to paradise and preach to the spirits imprisoned, be resurrected and enter the celestial kingdom.  It´s easy. :) 
Love you all!  Help someone enter the celestial kingdom today! 
Love, hna tew
