Happy New Year From India

hey mom and dad, well it was great to hear you and get to talk with you. but due to more bunds everything is closed down today. so the place we normally mail from is closed. so we have been serching for a place and we found this little crappy one thats still open. just to be saft i thought id write my letter in word and save it often in case of a power cut. yup sure enough it did. but the guy said that it clears everything when the computer reboots. so i was almost finished with a big letter to dad and it was gone. im kinda ticked so im not going to try and re write it. there are more computer engineers in india than anywhere else but they cant figure out how to make something work. haha anyways since i talked to you its been great. that day we went out and found a couple of nice families. our family who has been progressing towards baptism is doing really good and are excited for there baptisms this sunday. it was really nice this last sunday because there daughter who is handicap was great during church she sat through all of sacrament and releif society. so there family was really happy. we also have another sister being baptized whos name is krishna veni. she has been in her village for like a week and is supposed to come sat morning so i hope everything works out. especially with these bunds and crap happening. its not safe for them to travel so i hope everything works out. from today onwards there will be a continual bund except now there saying maybe not tomorow cuz everyone wants to celebrate new years. and if you cant buy booz then how can you celebrate? haha new years is a big deal here tons of parties and things. all the native elders want to wake up at 1159 so we can celebrate. ummmm how bout not. haha but well see i guess. i cant believe its almost 2010. i remember seeing my call. 2008-2010 and was like no way! and now its hear. haha
everything is going really good. we knew it was going to be a rough week as far as time we can find so we worked really hard to find and teach on mon and tues. we ended up finding 3 really good familes who seem to be very interested. the hard part is is its hard for people to travel when there are no busses so i hope they can find ways to come to church this week. but nothing to crazy or exciting has happened since we talked. but i want you to know that i love being out here. i know that the gospel is true and by following its basic princiapals we will be happy and find satisfatcion in what we do.
it sounds like everyone is sick back home. that sucks. sorry. if it makes you feel any better i feel great! haha jk knock on wood. oh and mom no packages yet but dont worry they will make it and i still got some jerky left so it will tie me over til they come. haha. with the bunds and things its probably slowing things up. well i hope everyone is doing good. it was great talking to you. have a good new years. thanks for everything. love you
