This week has been great!

Hey dad!
This week has been great, we actually have not yet gone to the lands to help the dad yet, but we are going there I think this week, instead we have been helping this girl build a house.  I have learned how to build a legit bots house, it very hard they don't have any machines so you have to do everything by hand and for some reason they do not believe in long handed shovels. Here they are all made for very short people so my back is in pain but its good. What most of the people here do on Christmas is they all get together and go in the jungle and have singing competitions, and instead of Santa clause they say father Christmas, and all the kids get new clothes.  Also its really cool whenever we ask a family what they do on Christmas all of them answer that they go do service for the elderly.  I think that's really cool they truly do focus on the good things about Christmas here.
 I really have been reading alot lately I'm trying to read the book of Mormon before Christmas and its going to be hard but I think I'm going to do it! I'm about half way now, that stinks about the missionary pal its an awesome book, my companion has one but when he leaves I wont be able to look at it anymore.  Thanks for sending those other books though, I really appreciate it.
This week has been great though, we had something we call a U-night where all the members come together and do an activity, we also had a ysa activity and they both went really well, the family we have been fasting and praying about came to church yesterday! Oh, I was so happy, they are the best their called the Sekatemas, and something pretty cool actually happened. We went to there house on Saturday just to remind them about church because, we actually had another appointment soon, so we got there said hi and where walking back to the car when the father realized that we had a flat tire, so we actually had to change it and it took a while because we had a messed up jack. Anyway, we were not able to make it to are other appointment so we spent more time with the family. We took all this as a sign that God was telling us we needed to be there more then at are other appointment and it really payed off because they came to church the next day! I was so happy when I saw the whole family walk in the door. The father is awesome! We were playing basketball with him and he gets really funny when we play basketball, I actually got a bloody lip from him because he plays kinda crazy! But I love him very much. The whole family is awesome.
I also was wondering when you guys where going to send my ID I remember you guys said you where going to send it but I still have not got it. Anyway, its really good to hear from you guys.  I love you very much.
Love, Justin
