31 Diciembre 2012
hey family, it was nice to talk to you all on Christmas. hope you are having a good day.  write me a note!  love, hna tew

Questions:
   When are you going to tell Peabody that you´re going to retire? 
   When are you going to tell the Stake or everybody else? 
   When do you find out where you are going? 
   Do you know how many options there are in each place?  Like, what´s the likelihood that you´re going to Chile vs. Argentina?  I don´t know how many missions there are and how many openings there are.  
   
I am really excited for you all. yay!  
What is Paul´s surgery? 

We´ve been working a lot with members lately.  It´s fun and it´s a lot better than working by ourselves.  Yesterday we had two families in church!  And Carlos Garay!  Yay  
Henry is to complete a family.  Yesterday was his first time in church and he really liked it, especially principles of the gospel.  Mauricio, who got baptized about a year ago is the ward mission leader and he gave the class.  It was excellent.  Henry has a lot of questions and it´s really interesting to try to teach him.  But he´s reading his Book of Mormon and going to church.  We found him Christmas morning haha.  We were contacting and we yelled buenas and I saw a sign that said "Fam Rodriguez Ire y hare lo que el Señor mande."  And I was like... hna de Leon... I think that Mormons live here.  And sure enough.  I recognized Maria Elena, asked her if she lived by herself and she said no, her husband, who has lived in the states for 31 years came back to Nicaragua a month and a half ago.  Is he a member?  no.  Is he here? yes.  Can we talk to him. sure.  He accepted a baptism date.  That´s why I was late on the Skype call.  We were talking to him.  So that was great that he went to church.  We are going to teach him in the house of a member.  :)  
  Carlos Garay went to church for the second time.  Last week he was ready at 7:15, outside of his house with his BoM.  This week too!  Yay! He was an evangelical Pastor for 20 years.  He´s reading the BoM like crazy and is super excited.  His family bugs him a lot but he´s like, whatever.  He has a ton of friends in church now.  yay for a friendly ward!  He always asks us why we are late or why we missed an appointment.  He´s about 70 years old.  He talks a lot.  We´re going to visit him tonight with Mauricio.   
   Jessica is the sister of a member that goes to the other ward.  Her husband is from Costa Rica and they both have gone to church many times.  She has a testimony, but he´s still working on it.  They have to get married first, and he needs to get some papers from Costa Rica so they can get married.  They are planning on the 26th of January.  Their kids always go to church and they are so cute!  They aren´t members, but basically yeah, they are. 
   Hna de Leon is great.  She´s probably my favorite or second favorite companion.  
I'm going to write a little more later.  
write me a note.  
love you all, 
good luck with everything.  Feel better Nani and Tanner! 
hna tew
Just wanted to say hi to my grandparents too.  Tell Grandma and Grandpa Tew that I love them and I hope they are doing well.  That I think about them and pray for them and I hope they have a happy new year!
