Hola familia, Esta semana fue super buena! Tuvimos cualquier milagro, y estamos muy bien con mi companero nuevo todavia. El bautismo de Hermano Arturo fue muy espiritual, y el dio su testimonio despues tambien. Creo que mi mama talves es poco enojado ahora por que ella no sabe espanol, tampocco otras personas en mi familia solo mi Hermano. El va a tranducir para mi mama, y ahora el va decir que el queire que mi mama haga un sandwich para el!! Ha you guys don't know Spanish. I Think its crazy how missionaries learn to speak different languages when really there is no structure whatsoever. And most of the time you are with a companion who doesn't Know the language either. I am extremely blessed to have had 3 Latin comps. I can speak really well right now, and there is barely a thing that I cant understand. That's so exciting that Jared found a new job, All By himself too!! lol Plus its full time, in a few weeks he won't be so poor, How is the house now that Landon is gone! Probably weird huh, man I miss that kid so much. My new area is doing really well, We visited every member of the Consejo Del Barrio this week to gain their confidence. And We are working with the members now, my first week we only had 3 lessons with members, this week we had 10! I rarely have time with Elder Michie in the mornings because he is always singing. He is in a devotional thingy that our president is putting on. But me and him are still going really well. Working our Butts off!! We taught Arturo this week every commandment, got him and interview and a time with the bishop and got him baptized!!! in one week! usually that's like 3 weeks. lol He was ready for it though I cant believe the elders never taught him. We have another woman named Sandra that has had a really really sad and hard life. Almost all of her family is dead and had crazy ways of dying. just horrible things. But she cried during the plan of salvation and Cried the entire time during church she has finally found the true church. I have no idea when we are going to be baptizing her. But its going to happen. We Also got a family to come to church who loved the restoration, and loved church. Just the parents are not married, so we have some work to do there. There is just so much work to do and so little time. I am doing great though, I have been having crazy dreams though, Crazy dreams. It finally hit me that it was Christmas time yesterday in a devotional that we had. holy jazz what has happened with the time. I should be getting me packages today in the evening I'm excited. Well I love you all so much and next week i will write info about the phone call home!!! Oh and the pictures, Saturday night I had to sew Arturo's pants so they would fit, I really should have learned. It took me an hour!!
Love Elder Ward
Very Different! 12/6/2010
Wow so I got transferred, My new comp is new in the mission he is still learning Spanish. His name is Ken Michie from MORONI Utah.. hahaha He is awesome though I love him to death. I am in Tierra Bella Which is in the same Zone of which I started. I am in a huge ward of just a little over 150 active members. And during the week we saw member after member and yes they almost all remember me and some of them I knew their names already. The elders before me had so many investigators. But none with fecha or teachings... but they all have tons of assistance's (attendance in church)- You can't baptize anyone if they don't know the Word of Wisdom.. lol The elder before me was trunky and was afraid of teaching the commandments. A lot of the members didn't like him and the missionaries are not trusted here. So I have a lot of work to do!!! But at least we were able to make baptism dates for some people and we taught a lot and we are having a baptism next week!! lol I know a lot of the missionaries in my zone including Elder Moss from the MTC and my old companion Elder Castillo... This last week went so fast. It just starts to go faster and faster. I am not enjoying it. I mean I'm loving the mission but I don't like how fast the time is going. And no I was not able to see the Devotional it didn't play here till 10 and night.. and we didn't have permission.. So we got permission from President to go bowling today!!!! Never want to do it again lol talk about making a boy from Vegas trunky. I was on the dang bowling team and would have the french fries with my mom and Blair and Landon , Zach and their moms . lol... I took first though and bowled a 170 we only got to play one game because man it is expensive!! I live in a mansion too, I have my own bathroom, it used to be a house for the sister missionaries so just imagine how dang good it is!!! I'm doing great family and thanks for the emails. I will keep working hard and man do I miss Christmas.. lol it sucks here...
Love Elder Ward
