hey there mom and family,
i am doing great, this last week was a pretty long one but it was a good one too, we stayed busy and that is all that matters to me, i hate having down time with nothing to do. i´ll try to send the pictures another way but i dont even know how i am sending them, i just put them in and then upload them, there is no other way, but idk. but yeah the waterfall was really cool and i enjoyed that. haha why dont you like my hair, everyone here loves it, they say that the comb over is weird and they were glad i cut it. ha, and that is cool that you bore your testimony in church. i bore mine in the ccm, in spanish which was pretty cool but not herei n mixco because they dont want the missionaries to go up there. idk why, but i bear my testimony everyday to people i dont even know. on the bus, in the street, everywhere. and no i havent given any talks yet, and we have quite a bit of investiadors but this last week was hard because most of them were gone, around christmas to new years everyone goes to the beach, so it made it hard to keep in contact with all those people. hahaha, that is so funny about daisey, i want a picture of her sleeping in the basket outside your room. does she try to go and sleep in my room at all. and sounds like everyone is doing good. is eric not working for dell anymore. and im glad to hear that my friends are doing ok. a mission truly helps you find focus and i am so glad to be here, i love it here and am enjoying it. so did dad have a good birthday. awh man so for sundays we go to members home for lunch and this past sunday we went to this one lady, and while your here she makes your favorite meal, and i told her i miss spaghetti so much. and she made me some yesterday, and man mom you have a rival now. ha it was so dang good, i should of taken a picture of it. it was so good. i loved it. and also one of our investigadors told us that she wants to be baptized. her name is mariella paz. but when she told her husband he said no she couldnt, so now we have to work with him, and hopefully we can get her baptized this saturday i hope. she is such a cool person. we found her last change and have been working with her ever since then. and also i am trying to send a video of new years. that night was crazy too. just like christmas. so at midnight we went to our ward mission leaders house which is down the street and he has a view of the whole city. it was so neat, literally the whole city is shooting fireworks, you feel like your in the middle of war, it is just so crazy, then we went in and had a family prayer with them, and the wife made us some tuna sandwiches and we had some chips and sprite. i think i am starting to get sick from soda now, i havent had it in so long that i think that is the cause of me getting sick, everytime i have it now i just feel so sick. so i just stick to drinking juice now, like tampico which is pretty popular here. but yeah so that is pretty much what has been happening around here. i am loving it here so much and am enjoying myself. the time is going fast and i dont want it to but one of my goals for the year is to just forget about home and focus on my new home. i think once i do that time will `pick up even more, so maybe i shouldnt do that. haha, kidding but yeah i hope all is well with you guys.- i love you all so much and i hope that dad had a great bday. well i´ll talk to you later.
love elder daniel shipley
