Loved all the news from home, like always! Dad, there is no guarantee that I can print photos, esp. if I get transfered in the next week... I´ll let you know in a fewish weeks.
Interesting idea about Lehi, Mom! I will re-read that again.
For a brief little update about my growing friendship with my comp, last week during companionship inventory, I felt so much love for her as she was sharing her testimony, and it was really cool, because there were times when I was not feeling love for her (and I´m sure it went both ways). We made make-shift pizzas today! That was fun.
Lately I've been taking self-inventory of my missionary work, because it feels like we have not been accomplishing much lately. I know that the Lord really does the work, and I need to trust that He always makes up the difference, but I also need to make sure I am completely doing my part. Sometimes (most of the time) it is discouraging to confront our weaknesses. That happened this week. But with the Atonement of Jesus Christ, there is always hope. So I´m just going to try a little harder, and keep on keepin´on.
Oh yes! For New Year´s Eve, our zone met up to do the paper lanterns, and it failed. BUT it was still really fun, possibly one of the most fun New Year´s Eve parties I've ever been to, which says something about the quality of missionaries I serve with, because really, it was chatting, and playing dominoes, and eating salchichas on the fancy rooftop of the elders´apartment. Yay!
Love to you all!

P.S. I did get more Christmas cards, thank you everyone for those!
