Family,
Wow, sounds like the week was a very eventful one for you guys. For us it wasn’t as eventful. It was actually one of those weeks that you like to forget, because it didn’t go to well. We didn’t have much success, my district did, but my comp and I didn’t have much!
I hope that all turns out well with Sylvia and that she doesn’t have another episode. If she does hopefully the doctors can find something this time. Does the family even know??? Or are they completely out of the picture??
It’s starting to heat up again here. The days have actually been really hot lately. This last week we didn’t have any appointments in the morning so we spent it knocking doors...for about 4 hours...and not finding anyone.
But on the bright side a family, which I had baptized the dad of this family a year ago, is going to enter the Temple in February or March. They are still taking the temple prep classes, and haven’t put a date yet, but that’s the time that they are shooting to enter. What a blessing for them. They say that a lot of things have changed over the last year. They have been blessed a lot more because of the decision of the dad to get baptized. I`m really excited for that day when they enter...because I’m going to go in with them!!!
I hope that this week goes smoother, and that there isn’t as many bumps. I hope that the babies improve and stay well. I don’t like being in another country when you guys have weeks like the one you just had, because there is nothing I can do.
I gotta run. I love you guys!

Hola,
Well Dad that stinks that you didn’t pass your test. But at least now you`ve got a better feel for what you need to study.
Sounds like your office is coming together nicely. I`m excited to see it.
Yeah, it’s time for Toddly to be coming back here in a couple of weeks. I can’t believe that him and Jake go home here in the weeks to come.
Mom, the picture of the nursery looks good. I`m sure that it has taken a big effort.
We`ll see how the season turns out this year for CJ. Hope that it goes good for him.
The week went good for us. We had a good baptism this last week of a 14 year old kid. His mom is going to get baptized this week. They`ve known the church for 10 years and the last 4 years they`ve asked the missionaries to come and teach them so they could get baptized. No one has ever gone! But we got the referral and visited them, and now their moment comes.
Thanks for sending me those quotes - except for the Matilda one (UGH Mom! … jk). I really liked them. They are ones that make you think about different topics of the Gospel.
As for the new twins, we`ll see how round 2 goes. Hope all turns out well for them and that they grow the way they should.
That’s it for me, gotta run!

Familia,
It’s great to hear from you guys and that all is well. Thanks for the letters. I’m excited to see how the playroom will turn out, now that it’s going to be dad’s office, should be pretty fancy.
This last week went well. The last couple days it’s been really, really cold. I’m glad that Mike sent me this sweater, because it really keeps me warm. It’s just been cold and rainy here, but the week went really well. We had a baptism this last week of a man named Alfredo. He is one of those guys that you never think would do it.
We baptized his brother a couple weeks ago, and then we started to teach him. It’s amazing to see the changes that he has made to be able to be baptized. The first time we saw him, he was in all black, smoking, and had this big piercing in his ear. But now he’s completely different. He has given up smoking, he dresses differently. He refers to the Book of Mormon as a magical book, because it changed his life. The person that he has become is such a difference.
But all is well, yesterday we got the call for transfers and Elder Vargas and I are staying together another 6 weeks, which is fine, because he works really good and we get along awesome. So we are expecting a lot more success these next 6 weeks.
Gotta run. This week is going to be a good one! But we’ll talk in a week.
Bye,
Elder Howard
