Opps! I forgot to post last week's letter.

11 months DOWN...


Hey mom, dont worry we have to know how much time we have on the mission because we are always asked that. hahaha I also cannot believe that I have been gone for 11 months! It is crazy, and before you know it I will be saying what time you need to be at the airport to pick me up!!! Holy cow everyone is having or had surgery!!! Grandma Joan, Papa Paul, and now Bepp. What is happening up there!!! What was the surgery for Papa Paul for? uh-huh.... your camera is getting weird just in time for Christmas, if that isnt convinient I dont know what is... ;) hahahahaha I am actually really excited to come home and see Kenna play Soccer and the Violin and Jessica play basketball. WHAT?!?!?! Tally is having a MRI!!! Do you know what he did? It was probably in gym when he was playing basketball. That is really a bummer :/ Yes there is another Elder Evans in the mission. But there is another Elder W____ in our district right now so maybe it could be him I also know both Elder W___ that are in the mission. But I have never been a trainer or had an Elder W____ as a companion.


How is the leadership stuff coming?  What do you have to do?1.  We both do tithing, assign talks, set up activities, and stuff like that. 


 How has the weather been?  It looks like it has been rainy.  Do you need a raincoat sent to you?
2. The weather has been good, it has rained a bit but nothing too big. It would be nice to have another umbrella because the one I brought a member broke in my last area.


How long do you think you will be in this area?  When are the next transfers?
3. I think I might be leaving this next transfer, so I would be leaving the 27th of December.


Did you go to the places you were talking about in your email a couple of weeks ago?  Something called Agua Azul?
4. No we havent been able to go to the places yet but we are still trying to figure out how we could get there and stuff like that, we also might go to another place with some of the members. :) Dont know for sure yet though.


Did you go to the places you were talking about in your email a couple of weeks ago?  Something called Agua Azul?
5. I did get all three packages. :) They took so long because they went to the other Elder Evans, and they just forgot to send them back and I dont remember the whole story, but I have them now so it is o.k.


How are your feet and stomach doing?  Do I dare ask???
6. They are both doing fine, I put the inserts in my shoes and they dont bother me anymore, although I am going to have to buy a new pair of shoes though. I looked underneath and pretty much the entire heel part was missing... hahahahaha no wonder my foot hurt.


Who are you teaching right now?7. We had to let a lot of people go this week because they werent doing what they were supposed to do (what we asked them to do) and werent coming to church. We still kept two or three of the same people so now we will need to find new people to teach. We are going to marry a couple and baptize them hopefully this week.


How is the apartment coming?  Do you have anything to cook on or in?8. We just bougth bed frames today :) We still dont have desks, chairs, or anything to cook on/in. Honestly I have never had anything to cook with. I just want to be able to study and do everything in the house so that we dont have to keep travelling to the church every morning to do everything.


What was the best and worst part of the week?9. The best part of the week was that our investigators (the ones we need to marry) came to church and continue to like it. They are awesome :) and the worst part of the week was that we didnt get to see the Christmas Devotional by the First Presidency. That was kinda a bummer, we were planning on it all day and then at 7:00 we ended up not being able to do it. :/


Anything else you can think of...10. Friday we went to the other area in the District so that Elder Hartvigsen could interview a lady that got baptized last Saturday. Thats about it, this was a kinda slower week compared to the rest.


Is it nice to have an American companion for a change?11. Yeah it is nice to have an American but I kinda want a Mexican again...It helps with the language, but I love my companion!

I honestly dont know if the package ever got sent so I will check when we meet up with the other missionaries and ask if he really sent it. This is what I found out for the Christmas thing. I can call for one hour, Would you rather have the call on Christmas or Christmas Eve? So if you get this and read it please send me back an answer. 
Well thats about it for me, I love you guys keep doing good. Have a good week. Love you, miss you during this Christmas Season. Oh, and did you send me the music that I asked you to send?

Love Buddy/Elder Evans
