Mom!!! This past week has been great! We got a baptism date for the 16th of January and we are doing the best we can to make sure it still stands! Elder Morales is such a great companion and he helps me a lot! His family lives in the 16th zone in Guatemala. This week is very exciting, and especially excited for Christmas!! I`m skyping at 1pm your time!! Be ready!!!!!!!!!! Haha That´s good to hear that the new Star wars movie was awesome! haha thanks for showing me the first minute of the movie! I´m getting more comfortable with missionary work and I think Elder Morales has improved my spanish a lot. Elder Huff was a good companion but not the best example for me. Life has been great here and I can´t wait to share it with you and the family!
I love you so much and I can't wait to see you and the whole family on CHRISTMAS!!!

Mom! It was great to see you on Christmas!! Best present for Christmas! It was a great pleasure to see you and the family! My Christmas was great. Me and Elder Morales had pizza and scones for Christmas and listened to some Christmas music. All the missionaries in Quito had to be at their homes by 6pm on Christmas. So we had a lot of fun. My Christmas ornament for this year is perfect and I love it; that's cool you found a BYU football helmet. Definitely post that video on FB. The service we've done so far is during FHE for the investigators and the ward families. Thanks for sharing your favorite scriptures of the Birth of our Savior in Luke. That's such a special scripture and I'm grateful for our Savior and especially for the fullness of the Gospel.
I am deeply grateful to call you my Mom and you've sacrificed everything for me and I don't know what I would do without you! I love you so much Mom and I hope you have a great New Year´s Eve!

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas! This year has been great and I can't believe it's going to be 2016 soon! This year has been one the most memorable in my life. I graduated High School, Started college at BYU, and later started my mission! I am so grateful for all of you, and how much you've done for me! This year has been remarkable and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be on a mission! Life at times can be difficult in the mission but it has helped become a better and faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. Missionary work is such a great experience and I'm doing my best to fulfill the Lord's work. Next year, I'm making new goals to help build the Foundation of Christ and especially with my companions. I hoping this next year will be a great one! It was awesome to see my parents on Christmas and to share with them my experiences in Ecuador. I hope 2016 is a great year for everyone! I love you all so much and I hope you enjoy New Year's Eve!
