The other day I received all of the probiotic and the jerky. As for the other stuff I would assume that it is with the Funk family still because they flew into Iguazu. I also received the corbata navideña (Christmas tie). This tie has been making it's way through the hands of missionaries here since 1996. I guess this is a tradition but one that few know. Apparently you have to wear it one Christmas and take a photo of you wearing it on Christmas Day. You then send that photo to the other wearers of the tie. You then pass the tie on to someone else for the following Christmas. It is a Snoopy Christmas tie and it's really ugly. Elder Dickinson just went home and handed it down to me. He was my first zone leader. The zone conference is this Friday and we will again be traveling in cumbi to Capital. This time I'm going to take pictures of Walmart just for dad.

We taught a total of 60 lessons this last week. We've found a bunch of good families. We hope to see a few baptismal dates set pretty soon. We clapped a house the other day and a woman opened the door. At first I thought the woman said we already have that (speaking of our pamphlet) and she closed the door. She actually said that someone else was coming. I don't know how I mixed that up but it all worked out in the end. We spoke with another woman, after the first one, that told us she had always seen the missionaries walking by but that they never spoke with her. She always wondered why. We gave her the plan of salvation pamphlet (I can't remember how to spell) and she told us that this was exactly what she needed right now. Her husband is in the hospital with blood pressure problems and she's pretty worried about him. We will be going back to speak with her tomorrow.

After this contact my companion reminded me of what he said previously. He said that sometimes he thinks it's better that we don't clap each door right next to the last clapped. He thinks skipping is sometimes a good technique. It made me realize that not every house in my area has been clapped even when it feels like that. I'd like to wish a happy birthday to Nate and Nathan. I'd also like to wish a late happy birthday to Danny. I hope that everything is going well for all of you.

Love you all.
