Better late than never!

Hey Mom and Dad, How is everyone. I had a really good Christmas, and was especially grateful to be able to call you one Christmas. Since then some important Items of business.
1) We went to New York when we went to the temple. New York is such a big city! It was a really fun experience. We took the train from here in Spring Valley to Hoboken, and that took us about an hour and 15 minutes. Once in Hoboken we took a Path train from Hoboken to 33 street in New York, and then walked 25 blocks to the Temple. It was really neat to go to the temple again and go to a session, to refresh my memory and to remind me of the covenants I have made. It was spiritually refreshing.
Then we returned home, just follow the way there in reverse order. We got home at like 5:00 or later. But it was really cool.
2) I have a new companion. Elder Barker left on Monday this week to go to Elizabeth, New Jersey to be a Zone leader down there. It is really neat and he'll do amazing. My new companion is Elder Kemp, who by a strange coincidence (spelling?) was Elder Barker's MTC companion, (kind of like Elder Secrist and I:) He is a really hard-working missionary, and he and I have been getting along great. He said to me the other day that he feels like his entire mission, all the skills he's developed, have prepared him for just this area, and the Work here is going to be tough, it's not an easy area, especially on the Spanish side, we get almost no help from English side ward leadership.
3) (I know, this should actually be number 1) sorry about the Email being late, we went by the Library like 3 times on P-day and it never opened it seemed like.
4) An apartment in our apartment complex burned yesterday. It was really neat to see how fast the Firefighters got there to put it out. Thankfully no one was hurt, (We're all fine, it wasn't even close to us, really) and they think it was Arson.
5) (Okay, back to important stuff) This Transfer is going to be awesome. As a Zone and as a Companionship we have some really great goals.
-50 member-present lessons this transfer:
The Zone Leaders asked us to pick a number we think we can accomplish in our companionship. We got 41 last transfer, and we think 50 is an obtainable goal. -7 hours of finding per week: This is a Zone-wide Number -Every time an appointment isn't there spend at least 15 minutes there finding in the nearby area. -Baptismal goal: The Zone Leaders asked us to make a goal of how many people we think can get baptized this transfer in our areas. Each companionship was to consider it carefully and pick specific people. We set our goal for 6. Edlinda, Juana Martinez and her children, Cristina and Moisés, Frank Peña, and Genesis, who is the daughter of a Less-Active family we've been working with. Her mother said that she wants to prepare Genesis for Baptism. We're excited. -2 Miracles: Each companionship was to pick out two miracles that they're going to pray for and fast for and work hard to see happen. The two miracles we've selected are 1) for Frank Peña to be baptized. 2) For us to have a Spanish Branch here, separate from the English. If we can have that the work will progress so much further. So, there are our goals, I'm excited, we're going to have a good transfer.
6) I love you all, and miss the family terribly, but know that I am happy and working hard out here. The work is tough, but we are going to see so much success out here because of our hard work. Love you all and wish the best for everyone, and I will send an Email on time next week.

Love, Elder Isaac
