Chew your food you're an animal! December 3, 2012

So we went to the zoo today, pretty cool! My favorite was of course the elephant, which is my favorite animal. it was one they rescued from the circus and he is 71 years old! so cool. The hippo was pretty cool too, among others. i find myself without time to send many photos though.

       We worked really hard this week and have alot to be juggling right now, im feeling your prayers and im thankful for the strength they give me. I miss you guys but im not lettin myself miss you too much, were pretty busy you know. Tonight we are going to teach a new family that we started teaching one saturday. they are going through kind of a really tough time and one of the ward missionaries set up a lesson with them, so we went and then yesterday the whole 5 of them came to church, so tonight were gonna go try to get the parents married as fast as possible. less than ten percent of the couples here get married anymore, so its a big obstacle for us, but if we explain why, i have no doubt that they will understand, people always do. 

 Marriage is such a hard, beautiful and irriplaceable part of life, it bottles my mind ( like when your thought are in a bottle) to think of how people would pass it up. i try to transmit that, and since its doctrine, its not hard to transmit. so wish us luck. Familia Gomez is their name, and they need aloooooot of help.

       I love you guys, talk to you next week!

 p.s. the picture was taken right before we did a race up these stairs. i didnt win. didnt even get second. but i did get really tired
