Well another week has already gone by. That is sooo crazy that the temp is so low there. My body just can't picture snow and wearing a coat and layers anymore...all it wants to do is cool down all the time.
And that's still a big negative on the package. I'm pretty sure that it's in the office but so many people got packages for Christmas that there are tons there, so it's taking forever cuz they do only three every p-day cuz they can't carry them all. Lame!

Haha-That's pretty funny that Dad had to speak for 15 min at Ward Conference. That's what he gets for making me talk that long at my farewell hahaha. Last Sunday I had to give a talk for 10 and just tore it up. Talking in Spanish doesn't make me nervous haha, it's so much easier.

The best fam in the mish!

L to R:my dad Rojas, my grandpa Thorpe, my greatgrandpa Milian and me
Howdy ya'll,
   That's way cool that Dan and Bracc are working toward missions. I really hope they keep progressing. I'd really like to write to Bracc but it is so hard and such a pain to write by paper.          Hey...I sent a package to you guys and it seriously took like 45! They are so strict about security in this place. But hey, I think I'm finally gonna get the Christmas package on Wednesday when we have the cambio meeting. There are a bunch of packages but they can't deliver them cuz there are too many, so we all have to wait unless its a small one. I got a couple things from the ward like the primary sent me some rings and articulos de fe but in English. They really are useful here where no one speaks english haha jk. But it was a nice gesture anyway.
   Last night we made some baptism dates... haha. and they're pretty cool so I'm pretty sure that they'll let us throw them in this month. 
   I got a card from the Harrisons and fetch, Patty is so fetchin tall, but Alex still looks about the same. I hope he's doing good. I really pray for him a lot. I really want him to do well. Plus they said that they are helping Gloria with the church. 

   Well Mama' the package I sent today is for you. It's for your b-day and sorry its gonna be a little late. Maybe you'll get to enjoy it for Valentine's Day haha. I think you'll like it. 

I don't get to play the piano very much here but I always try to remember that one song cuz its salvaje. 

 Sorry I dont have pics this week. We didn't do anything too sweet this week.

Dear Famila,
    Last week wasn't very productive because the people were so drunk, but oh well. That's way cool that Gloria is getting taught by the missionaries. I need to write back to her but I really don't  have time to sit and write a paper letter. How does she like the lessons?
   That is sooo crazy that Spenser is a daddy!!!! I really just can't picture it in my head...and me being an uncle really doesn't feel real. It won't hit me till I get home and stuff...haha and now you guys really are OLD huh? jk jk. That's so crazy that you're grandparents.
   Oh yeah...Spenser's car you fixed looks really nice and the paint is all "fancy". Now you'll have to fix up the Red Bull and make it a sick ride for me...haha!
   That's cool that Hubbard is doing well on his mish...and that dad has talked to Bracc and Harry. 
I really miss hanging out with them.  Those two better go on missions! 

   We have transfers next Wednesday but I'll find out if I'm changing before i write next time.



Well I'll hit you up next week,
Elder Diamante



   You guys had better be keeping the "Tusken Raider call" going strong cuz i'm forgetting all my cool qualities like that ;)
