A Wedding and a translation error ... and At Least the Angel is blue!

all is going good here.
tell Logan that i think he is the man for doing pushups everyday and that is something that i know is going to help him whoop some kids later on.
anyways family don't worry about trying to provide a xmas for Veronica and Fransisco...honestly. they right now are 200$ in debt and he needs to pay another payment on his truck soon and its awesome, only because they are in this situation because what happened to his knee and now that they are in this situation they are doing everything they can to get out of it knowing with a testimony that good is on there side because they are doing everything they need to be doing. the group here is amazing and are already throwing in efforts for those with no or 'lil money. all things are going to be well. so thank you for the offer but i know that they just need your prayers. also the wedding went awesome! it was super sweet and i totally messed up translation one part just cus i got too nervous and when i translated for the bride if she would take her husband for..yada yada...i asked if she would take her wife...
people like making fun of me here and that didn't help my case...
anyways i will send pics. veronica cried, and they danced and amazingly enough there son fer actually wasn't a HUGE pain in the butt...she said the most awesome present she got was the one that Heavenly Father helped her boy be good...it was sweet.(he isn't a bad kid just a really good troublemaker)
anyways Veronica and Franzsisco have had there interviews and passed amazingly(said the zone leaders) they are super super strong and are going to be baptized this tuesday at 6.
also for new news Divina, Hugo and Avad all have a baptism date for the 27 of December! please keep therm in your prayers. they are awesome awesome people and this is huge for this area because in this area has had 1 baptism in the last year. and we are finding a lot of people and working as hard as we can and the lord is blessing us in abundance. i know that with your prayers that this has come to pass.
also i guess this week i can say i have started to have a lot of bible bashes with hispanics! i really didn't think i would be doing that so much or idk...but i have seen how it is always placed right in front of a important lesson so i know its just to try to unnerve us...it doesn't though, but ... i won't let them perish in ignorance...so we have some fun. haha.
also here in the house we have a x mas tree...but unfortunately it came from the Knaras family so it is adorned with U of U stuff...so i very quickly made a BYU angel and put it on top...haha
also elder knaras has never had a real x mas tree so i think today for p day were going to go out and find out if we can chop one down for free...i think there are members who have alot of them and i know some honduraninas who have one and dont want it...so p day today will be for scouting for knaras'es first real tree!(that of which i will place yet another BYU angel, haha)
the gospel is true and god can prove it. there is one savior, that which a man can pray to for salvation. there is a prophet on the earth. and the gospel was restored.
please pray for the investigators. and tell grandma richardson that i keep her in all my prayers. and i keep you guys in my prayers constantly too...you are the reason i am here. thank you all family. i love you all.

also please tell jordan that i have tried to write him and email him and i think about the man tons and hope he got my letters. tell him i love him and he is my stinkin hero!

ok, just so you know the audio will have the update on the week...so that i have the ability to answer all the questions. [note: I'm still trying to figure out how to post audio on this blog ... I'll keep trying ... so keep watching!]
nope i won't do the wedding, the first presidency doesn't want missionaries doing them if at all possible is what i was told...so the bishop in the english ward will and i will translate.
we didn't get the sunday baptism...that sucked...but i can say that we tried everything except for hog tying someone and tripping them in... haha
but i also want you all to know that your prayers are absolutely priceless at this moment(my mission)...you have to pray it make such a huge difference...the faith of my family i can feel in the very air. i love you all and i will start putting the names of investigators specificly for you all.
and also for the list...i know i know you have asked but...i had to think long and hard about it all and so i finally came up with what i need for christmas, it is as follows:
chocolate covered pretzels; cordial cherries
and a tape of you guys just blabbering if nothing else...haha
i also need pictures...i don't really care of what...but whatever is sweet...life's events or what not...bubba with all his medals or brie with a futbol or mom kickin dads butt at ghost recon...haha
also cd's if you could burn(there all in my music folders) : andy mckee, darkhalo, sigur ros(another missionary took off with the ones you burnt befor), mogwai, M83. its all just music and ligit...if you have any more chill music stuff that is cool too...lyrics have to be very very inspirational and no lovey stuff...) and also
i said it in the tape but i very very much want a letter from brock...in spanish.
and also a leather case for my book of mormon...that is about the only thing i really need...i just kinda want to keep the pretty book pretty. a friend here said you can get one at vozlatina.com and said that they aren't expensive at all but are super duro. but if its expensive they if you send a flap of leather i could make one too...ant that would be pretty sweet! haha

sorry i am demanding about all this...but the tape and fotos and letter from brock are the ones i want most. i love you guys

anyways, about your thanksgiving, you make me jealous haha. i would have loved (and i ate very very well and it was very good food) to only eat a smigin of a tomato that mom cooked...i would have eaten it too.
its really weird a thanksgiving without family...
fortunately there is a family here that elder kanaras and i really feel at home with and we hung out with them this last week...it was cool.
tell bubba that i think he can whoop dad...so he should try it all the time!!! hahahahaha(...your welcome dad)
and tell brie that i think she needs to take mom out(probably drag her) and play some soccer with her...cus all moms have to play soccer! haha

i love you all, its short but its cus i have to go, were going to get some work done today and we have an appt at 2 so yea... but also there is the recording thing too.
and also now that i think about it...i wouldn't mind if dad threw in a jar of salsa or some peppers for x mas.
i love you all
kick some butt and have a jolly Christmas!
