Hey I`m still in the best city in the world, MASATEPE!!!!

 19 December 2011
Hey family. 
  Here`s a few notes really quick.  I`m writing another email that I`ll send in about 15 minutes. 
You`re going to call me at 7:00 PM on Christmas day.  I know that`s kind of late, but hopefully that works out okay.  We don`t have daylight whatever time going on down here.  Here is the number: 25232714  It`s at Hna Ziomara`s house.  The phone call is supposed to be from 30 to 40 minutes.  So, we`re going to talk for 40 minutes!  Yay!  If you can figure out some sort of 3-way call with Doug and Dani and Kyle that would be great.  If not, it`s okay  I`ll just talk to you all in WY. 
   I haven`t gotten another package yet.  I haven`t asked my comp to look through my package.  I did take a sneak peak and the presents are not wrapped. ... Thanks for the peanut brittle (I think it`s peanut brittle)  :)
    Apparently this address is a lot better for writing me.

Love you all a lot!  Ok Bye!

Hey Family!
   Hey I`m still in the best city in the world, MASATEPE!!!!  I was so happy when I found out.  I had told Elder Talla that if I had to leave Masatepe I would cry.  We were waiting at Hna Xiomara`s house when he and Elder Woodruff came out of their house with news about the cambios.  He started out by lying to us (solo Hna Tew tiene cambios en toda la zona) and then told us the truth.  We called the Zone Leaders just to make sure.  Anyway, Hna Castro was the only person in our zone to have changes.  She`s reopening an area in Managua.  I`m still here! 
   La reunion de cambios was on Wednesday.  President Monestel gave us a really awesome message about being osados!  [bold!]    He rewrote the verses that tell the story of David and Goliath so that it was about Elder David, the junior companion.  His leaders were chambones [lazy bums] and people told him to stop being a flechon (someone who keeps the rules)  It was a really good message.  He gave us a lot of scriptures about it too.  Cool.  So, when the cambios started I was looking around at all the sisters and trying to figure out who would be my companion.  I knew pretty much who was training.  I was hoping that my companion would be Hna DeHoyos...and she is!  She`s really fun and happy and cool.  She reminds me of Kyle because she has a pretty strong stupid detector.  Shes`s from Texas.  Her parents are from Mexico.  This is her last change.  Estoy matandola. muahahaha   She was one of the first, maybe the first person to talk to me when I got here to the mission.  She`s really great.  She is bold.  She is osada.  She gets to the point in contacting which is good.  She`s obedient.  She likes things done a certain way.  She gets things done.  Really she`s a lot like Kyle. 
    So we`ve been doing a lot of contacting.  It`s been interesting teaching the area to Hna. DeHoyos.  She`s been pretty patient.  She`s getting a lot of things in order and teaching me how to do pretty much everything better than I have been doing it.
   Every Friday morning we meet as a zone and have companion study and then language study (in two big groups...really, there is an English Class and White people time.  haha)  Then it`s district meeting and a zone meeting.  I was really happy this Friday because Hna. DeHoyos actually wants to be obedient and wants me to be obedient.  It`s really nice!
    I`ve been a little sick but not much.  Just a sore throat and an ear ache.  Hna. DeHoyos is still recovering from a nasty virus she got about 2 and a half weeks ago. 


   Yesterday we were walking to the church after trying to gather our investigators and Javier passed us on his bike in his dark jeans and white shirt (from his school uniform).  It was a beautiful sight!  Yay Javier!  Way to be awesome!

 I love my district and my branch.  I love my companion and my area.
The first foto is Javier and Milton.  Milton is Javier`s tio and he`s a recent convert.
Then It`s me and Hna Castro and Yeri.  (I think that`s what foto I chose)  Yeri is the son of Hna xiomara and Pres. Mercado.  We eat at their house.
Then I don`t remember which one I chose.  It might be Jamilet and Hna Castro.  Jamilet has a purple shirt and her daughter is Samantha.  Hopefully she gets baptized this weekend.    I love you all thanks for the letters. I forgot to respond personally until now and it`s too late.  But thanks for writing me dad and mom, Kevin and Bishop Kertesz and Carrie.  I love to hear from you all

Love, HNA TEW   Talk to y'all in less than a week.  Look up the weather for Jinotepe,
