Week of of January 6, 2014

Hi my familia,

So this week was good, things are picking up with missionary work, so that's all good.  It was good to see you guys for Christmas. I want to know if I looked fat or not. I want you all to know how proud I am of you all and all that you are doing. Mel you and basketball, Brit you and your call.  Mom I'm doing good with my health. I have an ingrown toenail but I think I will be able to get it out myself. Things are good here in Cartagena, oh mom transfers are NEXT week ha, so don't worry but I really think that I will be here for another 6 weeks. My companion still has alot of problems, the president told me a couple weeks ago that my companion is the most difficult situation that there is in the mission, so I think he will keep my companion with me, which is alright. There are alot of things changing in the mission, we are starting to focus more on less actives, there are so many people that gets baptized and then become inactive, so we have work to do.

I'm happy, I'm healthy, and I'm doing what I should be doing. I can't believe that I only have 9 months left. I believe that I will be coming home in September.

Anyways have a good week and I will talk to ya next week

love Elder Franks
