Hello Mi familia  Coma esta?
My español is getting even better during this week . Let me tell you though
lol my enemy right now is alarm clocks lol its so hard to have energy during the
whole entire day! I doze some times lol but I am still working as hard as ever I
have memorized like 12 scriptures in Spanish now not going to do much good for
me after the mission lol but i am trying to memorize as many as I can. Thank you
so much for sending me the card I cant wait to receive it! I miss having money in
my wallet! And yes transfers were today and he tried to scare us really bad and
we did get transferred into a different district, but we didn’t move houses or
anything, nothing changed but the people in our group. My companion is the
district leader now crazy right!! But yeah I would not mind vitamins for energy
cause I want to be more focused during the day so I can understand all the
people and what I need to teach and its really really hard to when you are
always so tired from the heat! But I didn’t have to give a talk last Sunday,
but this Sunday I have to give another one! Just my luck right. I gave a
blessing in Spanish the other day  which was really hard but it went very
well. Ill tell you more spider stories after the mission ok lol jk but yeah they
live with us  they are our friends I have not seen one in my bed yet thank
goodness right. It is scary to sleep at night knowing they are there though right
lol. And no that girl doesn’t speak English there is only one person that I have met
here that knows English lol its rough. Dad that was nice of you to teach that
investigator, we had an investigator come to church the other day BY HERSELF we were
so excited that she came, it really makes a difference when the members welcome them, the
members here talked with her and she was so happy and I was happy also cause I
have a hard time talking in Spanish lol but yeah always watch for new
investigators. BBALL IS STARTING I miss playing basketball so much you have no
idea lol everyone just plays soccer here lol no basketball I wish, but yeah
that’s good I can rest this season and play when i get back when you have recovered.
By the way yes my fore arms and my face are so tan you have no ides I have the
biggest tan lines, everyone here thinks I am a Latino I am so dark! No joke. I
am getting skinnier though I started teaching the elders wrestling moves in
the morning to wake them up faster lol. I always get up quickly  The elders
in our room got transferred so now its just me and Elder Rodee no one else. We
have really become best buds though, we are very similar. DITTO I am so glad you
had fun at the concert! I am so jealous lol I miss my music so much lol I am
going crazy cause the people here may not speak English but they like English
rap and I hear it and get so angry lol.That's good you have been going to the gym,
here they fast 24 hours. 1 to 1 and we work at that night in the heat, if you
can imagine, but the Lord provides for us. Its getting hotter and hotter, January
and February are the hottest months here so keep me in your
prayers, we have 2 more baptism dates that we hope go  through, this sector
didn’t have a baptism for the last 1 year and now we have 5 so we have been
working our hearts out! I really can honestly say I hate dogs! There are so many
here and they come at you sometimes and try to get us but we pick up rocks and
scare them off lol, we are definitely fine, we know what streets are safe and
which ones are not. Sorry I cant send pictures this week, the place here
doesn’t have an outlet ( I have some cool ones to show you
from new years, new years was just a average day of work lol, a little sad yes
but after our work we did something fun which I will send pictures of next
week But all is well, no problems I am healthy and happy, I love all of you
so very much you have know idea. Thanks for all of your support and love for me
cause that is what keeps me working as hard as I can. I want to be the
missionary my family knows I can be  Thanks for everything if you need or
want anything just let me know and you will get it 100 fold. You are seriously a
blessing in my life and I always show everyone my pictures, not all  the
missionaries because they get a little excited to see Girls lol so I keep them
from them ha ha but everyone else I do  Que mas ahhh a cat keeps getting in or
house and going into the other elders room and taking there garments and putting
them in our neighbors houses lol terrible right, the neighbor brought them all
to our house and was like my cat took these lol it was a bit embarrassing though.
One thing I though about during the week, Dallen stay away from girls no kissing
girls until I come home lol, I felt sick to my stomach thinking about that lol,
watch that boy carefully.Always watch Brittany she is tough to follow I know lol
but keep an eye on her, Krystal and Scott, no kids until I come home please lol oh
