HEY FAMILY!!!
I was really happy to talk to you all last monday!! i feel kinda handicapped talking to people in english right now so i hope you all dont think im totally weird :) Im glad to hear that everything is going great. So im pretty excited to hear where chase will be going on his mission!! when he opens his call, i want you to video tape it and then send it to me, I VOTE MEXICO!!!
On monday after we got to talk, we had a christmas dinner with some members here in Tuxtepec, we watched a TON of fireworks and got to stay up late (thats rare for missionaries but we got special permission) This week went really well for us, the weather has gotten a little better to the point where i actually wake up a little cold, ITS GREAT!! We also had an awesome baptism service for a man named Juan Francisco, he is a 63 year old man that we found through talking to some members, He was an investigator of gold. When we gave him the book of mormon for the first time he told us he would read it, when we went by his house the next day he said he was just finishing up with 2 Nefi. i didnt really believe him at first, but then when he started to tell us the whole story in detail, i couldnt believe it!! He had been smoking for 44 years, and had been trying to stop for quite some time now. when we invited him to be baptized he accepted and stopped smoking that very day, he hasn't smoked since. Im really grateful to be able to get to know and teach people that are completely ready and prepared by the Lord to hear and accept the gospel.
ok well i gotta go, i will write you next week!! i love you and miss you all a ton!! with love, Elder Snow

HEY EVERYBODY!!!!
I hope everything has been going great up there with the greatest snow on earth!! im glad to hear that things have been going well for you, even though Obama won again.
Thank you so much for the package you sent me mom!! when i went to Veracruz on Tuesday in the morning to pick up my brand new companion, and while i was there i asked if i had a package in, i guess the package system is starting to get faster! Thanks for all of the stuff you all sent!! and sorry, but i opened my presents before christmas.
Things for me here in Tuxtepec have been going great! My new companions name is Elder Gomez from Guatemala! when i went to Veracruz to pick him up, the mission president told me not to push this one down the stairs ;) i´ll be careful this time haha
So this week went great for us, we found some new people to teach and we baptized 3 people on sunday, their names are Sister Trinidad and her 2 sons, Adolfo and Christian. i have been teaching their family for about 5 weeks, we found them one day after like 3 appointments fell through and we decided to knock doors for like a half hour, and we just happened to knock on their door, yes i believe in miracles.
Well i hope you like the pictures i sent, we found a public computer place where the computers are a ton faster so we can send more :) Well i gotta go, i will write you next week!
- we are still looking for a place so that i can skype you for Christmas, we will find one don't worry :)
I love you all!! Elder Snow
