Letter #8

hola familia!

i am super disappointed in all the letters im not getting from my family but its ok

tell hayden to send me an email with some quotes on it.

also i cant have an mp3 only a cd player. and only hymns and motab. anything under those two things. it is super strict here and i dont want to be disobedient. so send me a whole bunch of songs on cd!! its ok if its a mp3cd player like that walkman but noooo mp3 players.

ok ill try writing a letter for enrique!!! i love that kid tell him he needs to start planning to go on a mission. its hard for recent members to stay on missions. almost everyone i have seen or heard going home were recent converts and kids with out strong parents. so tell him to prepare now.

i want to hear about glenn as well!

we had changes this morning. my comp elder juergens went somewhere else to be a zone leader! he only has 13 months. but im staying here in maravatio. i love it here. im getting a district leader for this change. it is his second change as district leader so he is young as well. he has maybe 9 months... idk

last month we had a solid goal of 31 baptisms but we had... 1. we worked so hard last change and probably some of the hardest in the mission. i know we were the most obedient in the mission. we followed everything with exactness. i learned so much about obedience and diligence. and hard work. we worked our butts off but i felt good saying we had one baptism. we had so many possibles and so many people asist church but no one got baptised. but i worked for that one.

so this month our goal is...31. and we hard going to continue to work as hard as possible. bc i know if i do my part the lord will do his.

so this was my last week with elder juergens and im going to miss him a lot. but im going to take what i learned from him. and im going to carry it for the rest of my mission.

so funny lessons we taught this week... we taught one guy in his combi while he was on break. we hopped inside and taught him. we taught this one lady that was dying from diabetes and was blind because of it. her house was super smelly. also we saw two people out side there house to we presented ourselves and they let us come in. little did we know it was a huge family eating. and they sat us down and shoved food infront of us. we arent supposed to have more than one dinner appoinment and it was awkward but it was fun we didnt stay long. we ate super fast taught a lesson and left. it happened to be a family we had met earlier and we had given their son a bessing because he was injured in a car accident.

i saw a awesome demonstration of faith this week. we are teaching these two solid families together. we were teaching the commandments and one lady said "im quiting my job so i can come to church with you guys!" i thought that was amazing! also we said she was going to quit drinking coffee and stop doing other stuff. i thought that was amazing. if only everyone was that humble and had that great faith.

i love fried peanut butter and jellies!!!! they are delicious.

so my pictures this week. one is of our zone this week right before changes. also some pictures of elder jurgens and i.
