Family

Hey Family!!
Hey sorry I wish my emails could be better like Melindas the way they are formated and everything everything seems to make sense. I have noticed that everything I write seems to be confusing. haha I will try to write better. Wow it's weird to think I am already talking to you again! I don't know what more to say since our last conversation. Well it was funny the other night with my native companion we were talking and he has been wanting to learn english so we have been talking in english and spanish and I thought I said a cool word in spanish but apperently it doesn't exist. He thought I said a word in English and he wanted to learn it and he said can you say that one more time? So he could practice his pronunciation, but I thought he wanted me to say it again so he could correct me and we stood in front of each other saying that same word over and over again that didn't even exist. We did this for about 3 min. and then when we realized what was happeneing we laughed our heads off.
This last sunday was really great as while. The members gave talks about how they should help with the missionary effort more. So we hope to have more lessions with members this week. I love our members we have hear they already help so much. I love Elder Soto he is helping me grow alot as well. Oh and Elder Soto was wanting to come to America in about two years to go to school and to work and he told me he wants to go to BYU-I. Is it ok if he stays with you while he is doing that? I guess you have two years to think about that so dont be in a hurry.
Well family thanks for your support and thanks for your prayers and thanks for your examples. Sorry dad have you received my letter yet? and Chris I will try to remember your birthday haha sorry everyone. Thanks for all of your help on Christmas and for your input. Have a great week!

I hope you all know how much I love you all.

Love,
Elder Fitzgerald

Christmas in Uruguay

Hello Family!!
Wow sorry last week my companion said Oh sorry I forgot to tell you we dont email next monday because we have changes so we do it on changes so sorry about that. I have a new companion now his name is Elder Soto he is from Argentina. We both traveled a long time this morning and we are at the big bus stop in Montevideo. Dad did you ever come here to Tres Cruzes? Well I have only been our area for a month and I am hoping that I can remember where everyone lives so that we can just get straight to work :) He is a really nice guy. I am excited I haven´t had a companion yet that cant speak english so I am hoping to learn alot.
Well the longer I am out here the more and more I learn about the importance of this work. It´s changing me. I am so excited our little branch here in Lascano invited us to sing in their little choir for the Christmas Party which is this Saturday. Oh ya mom our Mission Christmas Conference is this Friday. I cant wait to listen to my mission president he is such a good guy. Well the work in Lascano is great all our investigators are slowly progressing others more rapidly.
Mom so wait what do you want me to do for Christmas? Do you want me to call you or you are going to call me? In the next email you can just tell me. Just so I have enough time to give you my phone number.
Sister Fitzgerald I am so excited for you being in Germany during this Christmas season. Me and my companion were singing Christmas Carols about two nights ago in our apartment and that was first time it felt like Christams for me since to me it looks nothing like it down here haha. Hey well family I love you I hope you all know that. Well see ya next week.

Hot and Sunny

Dear Family!!
First off Dad happy birthday!! I will send more in my letter but Dad thanks for everything you have always been so great and good I am so glad that I get to help the same peple that you got to help thirty years ago. I know that the people loved ya here sometimes I dont know how they put up with me. I know you would have been just perfect. Well Christmas in Uruguay its weird I see christmas trees and everything but there isnt ant snow we are still in spring and summer is at the end of December. All I see everyday is sunshine and awesome sunsets and palm trees. So this is going to be a weird Christmas.
So Chris and Jason both havent been playing football for the last few games? and Crozier had to set up the tree all by himself I guess since Jason and Chris are both injured. Wow thats right Jason you only have a couple more months untill you can date Chris you on have a couple of months till you are considered an ¨adult¨ thats crazy. Crozier recieves the priesthood next year wow. Everyone is growing to fast. Sean Kim thanks for your letter that was nice to here from ya. I am thankful for everything that you have done for me as well thanks Sean.
Well me and my companion have been seeing miracles lately it has been crazy. We received a reference from someone outside of Lascano and we went to contact it as soon as possible and this girl came up to us out of no where and she asked us if we could teach her. She has had the missionaries before and told us she wanted to be baptized. We told her well we are going to teach you first and in our first lesson we asked if she had prayed to know that this church was true and she said yes I prayed and God told me this church is true and we had a member with us and our member said who told you to say that and she said no one did I prayed and God told me it was true. She is amazing and she asked if she could bring some of her friends to the lessons as well. We have high hopes for her. On that day as well two other kids asked if we could come teach their families just out of no where. God is a God of miracles. He sends them to us everyday. Everyday is a mjiracle and everyday is another chance to act and change and to become more like him. This is a special time of the year and I hope that we all take all our time to think about what Christ our loving brother did for us.
Your Son,
Elder Fitzgerald
