Happy New Year!!! 2012

Hey family so thanks for your emails, just stoked that the Broncos made it into the playoffs and sweet that you got new seats mom it looks great from there.  Man I cant wait to be able to go to a jazz game and have a good time with ya mom..  Thanks fam for the support this week.  We had an okay week, just trying to find some more people to teach and it was kinda a hard week as far as the work goes because it was new years and everyone here was partying and so they really didnt wanna listen this week.  We changed times also in church, now we start at 8:30am and so it will be super hard for us to have people in the chapel but we had 3 this week and we started the sacrament meeting with 13 members there.  So that just kills me to be here and the people dont take the church seriously.  That is what I miss the most just being home in a strong ward and everyone magnifys their calling.  So mom just remember that, that it is super important what you are doing by attending ward counsil.  So keep up the good work.  But sounds like you are all pretty busy, we are too.  I am hoping to have a better week this week.  We always find a ton of new investigators but they cant progress because they just dont understand but we are hoping to find another person like Lander.  haha On new years it was just a regular days work for me, we worked all day knocking a ton of doors and then we came back to our room at 9 and elder Yamunaqué and elder Galán came over to our room for a little and then they went to their room and then we went to bed, and at 12 they all started with their fireworks and we didnt even get up , we just told each other happy new year and then went back to bed.  How bad is that? haha I am getting so old...  I feel like Arin and Devin now who go to bed so early and wake up early too.  I used to always give Arin a hard time but after my mission I know I wont be going to bed at 9 sister, that is pushing it.  

So thanks for helping me out with my application, what ever happened, pres tyler called me and said that he got it in.  Hope that it all works out, and also what happened with UTAH?  because you guys told me that they needed my classes that I took from high school something like that?  Thanks for your help.  

So this week we went to this one part of my sector that is super poor and as we knocked doors all the cows were walking by and we would be talking to the people and they would start to go to the bathroom and it was just really crazy, the first time in my whole mission that I have been contacting with all the cows just walking by, my sector is pretty sweet and it is just like the provinces.  haha but it was super good to get out and work because it makes the time go by fast.  Just trying to forget about time now, because I know that it will be here soon.. That is about it that happened to me this week.  O ya Cleofé brought her daughter to church with her so now we will try and get her baptized too, I think that we can do it, she is pretty cool.  And that was all that happened this week.  O ya I have fleas.  It is terrible, I cant sleep at night because they sit and bite me, man that is going to be nice, to just sleep in my nice bed. Wow it will be sweet.   

Goals for this year:  

1. Finish my mission strong
