Well... so this week, i am writing not much (again) because my companion is returning to guatemala on wednesday and he doesnt really see the point in spending alot of time writing family, when he will be talking with them face to face.BUT this email will be sent out in groups to explain why i am sending these pictures and who are they and all that jazz.

the first is of my FIRT CHRISTMAS TREE on my own! yeah it rocks, and its gorgeous, and it was thrown together when i had time last week... i got a package from my parents with a cool santa fool of cookies that werent my mothers because they were actually round. they are delicious, my mothers, but never ever ever round XD NEXT the fan of my comp burnt, and we had to go in and connect it directly together... so we have to plug and unplug to make it work but... welcome to honduras XD

so this week we had to plan a wedding,. thats the witnesses the cake the people the lawyer the transport EVERYTHING and one reason i am doubting marriage because it was this stressful and it wasnt even for my wedding XD BUT it happend and i was SO tired. literally i have never ran around so much in my entire mission. soooooooo much running...

ok so this morning the 15th we stopped by the house of the family to bring them to a house of a member to drive us to where the lawyer would be. we decided to have fun and help them out. the sister was super against us sweeping so she did it but WE DID TRY!!

ok so we got to our destination at 9 in the morning, and our lawyer got there at 10, who then told us she had NONE of the papers to marry them, because here the lawyers marry the people. WELL during this time we stuck all 13 of us in a subaru hatchback, and went an our into central san pedro sula, got there at 11 and waited. this is the pictures of the huge long wait XD it got bad... everyone was sleeping or hungry and... ya as you can see XD

this was a very white christmas and it hasnt even been christmas yet!! so the parents three kids and a nother young man actually all were baptized the same day. we had one of the young men from the ward baptize the son, a great leader in the ward, baptized the dad i baptized the girl and our leader of our zone of missionaries baptized the mom and the little brother. the other young man actually was baptized by my companion. his last baptism as a missionary! this coming up week will be strange, because he actually leaves wednesday... i wont have my new comp until friday... BUT we have a couple of the men in the ward in line to help me out if need be, or i will tag along with another companionship for a day, but yeah... This week was awesome and elder gonzalez did indeed end strong.

so it was alot of words then the... novios? whats that word? well they signed the paper and i had a weird face cuz i had to watch them kiss. but it was actually super awesome!!
