Transfered -- Area #3

What a difference a good companion & a good area make!  The tone of his letter is much more positive than the last couple!


Dear Mom & everyone,

I did get Tally´s e-mail and it made me really happy :) I will send him a seperate one that you can print. HAHAHAHAHA Spyke peed in Jessica´s bed!!! hahahahaha That is hilarious. I also got a letter from Bepp this week too :) sounds like they are doing good. :) How is Jenny doing... The last thing I heard about her wasnt too good. Holy cow that is a lot of packages!!! hahahaha How much is all this costing... (the truth)

1. and 2. The bus trip was good, it was about 6ish hours long, and I went all the way with my new companion because he was in the same zone as me in Coatzacoalcos. I didnt see anything cool on the way though because the windows were all closed so that we could sleep. :) hahaha

3. My new companion is Elder ___________ and he is from North Ogden. He went to Weber High School. He plays tennis, cross country skiing, and basketball. He is a little bit taller than me and he has blue eyes.

4. and 5. The area is great! :) So much better than my other one... hahaha So I really dont know the real name of the area... just try Triunfo, Zapata and it should work I think. It isnt really big and we are opening the area. We are the first elders that have been here for 6 months. There is a ton of work here to do :) We are literally right above Guatamala, a town called San Martin, you should see if Kyle has it in his mission or something like that so we can go and wave at each other. . . hahahahaha.  It is also in the middle of nowhere though, doesnt have any big stores or anything like that. But the members here are awesome, usually there is an attendance of like 12 people, this last Sunday we had 20 :) The members have so many people that they want us to teach we barely have time to do anything. We are doing good, we have about 7-10 baptisms that could happen in this month. :)

6. Yes when the kid erased all the pictures I mean ALL of them :´(.. . . .  . . A very sad day :¨( ......... BUT I got them all back this last Saturday :) I think there are about 5 hundred he said that he found. I was sooooo happy afterwards. The only thing is is that he found them all and they are on the memory card but you cant see them with the camera, so you need to plug the memory card into the computer and get them from there. I will try to figure out how to do it...

7. I am feeling good :) it hasnt returned at all, I really have no idea what was causing it but I am hoping that it was only in that area (cursed area) hahahahaha.

This week has been crazy full of work that we have been doing! We have a lesson almost every hour from 11-8 except 2 for food and another one to try to contact more people. I really like this transfer so far, We both got in the MTC on January 5 and between the both of us we know enough Spanish to get us along. I am starting to really get it now. :) Oh, I remembered one more thing that you should send me ;) The Ensign for October, I saw it at another Elders house and it looks really cool :) We are looking for a house right now so we are living in the house of prayer (church) There have been some good times so far. :) This Sunday we were teaching about the Restoration and out of nowhere this old lady asks if she has the gift of tongues because when she prays she randomly starts talking in another language... We sat there for like 20 minutes trying to tell her it wasnt the gift of tongues and then she just started talking in some made up language and we told her to stop and that it wasnt of God and not to pretend to do it anymore. The lady is kinda crazy but she is doing everything we tell her to do including going to the church and everytime we have passed her store she was reading the Book of Mormon... So we just need to fix some things and it will be good :) hahaha  So I think that is about it... I am doing good.
Have a good week, be safe, have fun, and know I love you guys. :)

Love Buddy :P
