HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone had a fun and safe new year and didn't party too hard without me haha. Well this past week has been one of the best weeks Elder Zambrana and I have had while we've been together. I don't even know where to start. Well I guess I'll start with church yesterday. We brought one English investigator to 2nd ward with us. She loved it and afterwards we went over and set a baptismal date with her for the end of the month. The Spanish group presidency is being rearranged. The president is planning on moving soon so he was released and the 1st counselor just moved to Portalis so he was released as well. A new president was called, Bro McClellan and Bro Miranda stayed. As of now we don't have a 2nd counselor. The Spanish group has set a goal this year of becoming a branch. And last night was a good start. We brought 2 investigator families last night. The relief society room was packed. There was a total of about 50 people there. Next week they are changing the time and we will be meeting in the chapel for the first time. As for those 2 families...they're awesome!! They've had some struggles this past week and actually ended up moving in together, which makes it way easier to teach them. We had an awesome FHE with them on Tuesday at the Chairez's and we're going to be having another one tonight. The Chairez and the Dominguez girls are coming to their place. Its gonna be a party. We had a pretty crazy experience Tuesday night after FHE with those families but I don't think I can tell you about it yet. Remind me in 14 months and I'll tell you all about it haha sorry. Well we have zone conference this Wednesday and its gonna be awesome. Unfortunately they asked me to play the piano last night and I'm going to be way nervous playing with President and Sister Robison there. Well I know that there was more that I was going to write about but I always forget. As soon as I get in the car I'm going to remember though. Well I love y'all and hope everyone has set some good goals for the new year. Work hard at attaining them and the Lord will bless you.
