I wrote to Layna. I want to go see her as soon as I can when I get back. She is such a good person.

This week was a hard one. Nobody came to church and the last transfer is difficult but I am doing pretty good. I am excited to return and also it will be a little sad too. But I get to keep in contact with the people here so it will be ok. I’ve been running a lot while I’ve been here. I love it and I want to keep it up when I get home. And my passport is with the office so there is no chance of losing it!

I have no time left. This week is General Conference and then the next week I am going to Concepcion to say goodbye to my converts and then I have like three more days and I am leaving. Scary!!! I am pretty excited! Thanks for everything you do!!! I can’t wait to give you a good hug!

There is not much to report this week but I love all of you and thanks for being with Layna!! Have a great week.

Holy cow! That’s sooo cool for Jess! I wrote her and I am very excited!!! I am glad I will be able to be with her before she goes!!! Wow! (Nate's sister, Jessie, just got her mission call to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and leaves on January 8th!)

Well this week was really hard but fun! During their holidays here they party all week long. So our work gets difficult. We did find a new family to teach but apart from that we got rejected. But we had a lot of fun. My companion is really cool and I am glad to be with him for my last cambio. We are just working like normal trying to help our people get to church which is still the biggest challenge that we face. I am getting really, really nervous. You try not to focus on how close it is to going home but everyone that knows you, knows you only have a month left so every day I get a reminder of that. I am very excited but very scared at the same time.  

We are looking to baptize one more family before I leave so we are working hard with that. I love you all and I have the coolest little sister in the whole world!
