Hey Mommy!!

Man sooo much happened this week! Haha so i think im going to need a picture of the driveway with all the new cars lol. IM SO PROUD OF TYLER! That is so awesome for him!! He has worked so hard! He totally deserves it. It looks so nice and warm there in Utah! So are the kids all done with school? It looks like you guys had some good times! It sounds like you are all set to have a grand ol time in Moab this summer! I cant wait to hear how all your adventures go! Just dont kill yourselves hahaha. Man I hope Justin is feeling better cus that looks like it would hurt! So Ive been thinking of a way that I could cut the time down when I email home, but still touch on everytone and make them all feel included and I think Im going to send just like a big general email to you and dad and then Ill just send short messages to my brothers and what not. Ill talk to them in the big letter so just read this letter to everyone. Also just keep listening to my recordings. I can download recordings from you guys and put them on my mp3 player and play them each week which would be much easier cuz then I can just answer your questions while Im sending out my recording. I will send more personal messages this week, but next week lets try the recording thing and see if it works. I dont know if any of that made sence haha but oh well. This week was super awesome! We have found 3 more awesome investigators that I think are going to go somewhere. One of them may take a little while, but oh well haha. We had a super awesome activity the 28th and a super awesome zone conference the 25th. President just kinda laid down the law about things that missionaries were doing such as burning shirts at their year mark and stuff. He also laid it down that this is a baptising mission because there are missionaries out here that have been saying that we just dont get a lot of baptisms which was cool cuz thats how ive been feeling. I feel like every mission in the whole world can find and baptize people, they just have to work a little harder. That has been one thing cool about going to an area where there wasnt any investigators and there hasnt been a baptism in over a year. We are working super hard and we have at least on that could happen by the end of the transfer between the two companionships we have here in Tolosa. it just goes to show if you do what you have to the Lord will fill in the rest. Dont take that as me bragging or anything, cuz I have soooo much to learn and i could be doing so many things better, Its just been super cool to see the changes. Well other than that we have just been working hard this week looking for people to teach. Oh and something else that I forgot to talk about in my recording… Sunday before church it was raining super hard and we had to walk from the bus to the capilla and on the way one of the roads was like a flipping river so we got super wet and it was awesome hahaha. The rain has been pretty decent the past week, but its nice cuz its a little warmer, which doesnt even make sense haha. Well I hope you guys have an awesome week and Ill send my voice recording and pictures! I love you sooo much!!!

¡Te quiero¡

We had an activity where we were dressed up in the baptism clothes

The picture in the car was just a cool picture of the street I took. I think you can see part of the cathedral in it.

Hey mom!!!

 

Letter to Mom…

Hola lo mejor madre en todo el mundo!

Man one more week down here in Tolosa! I cant believe how fast the time is going! We are starting to get things moving around here which is awesome! We have gotten two more investigators this week, and we have high hopes of getting that number even higher next week!

This week was great cuz I was able to do some cool different things cuz I was on Intercambios for almost half the week it feels like! One was with the zone leaders and the other was with a missionary that was as new as me! That was an incredible feat because we both aren’t super comfortable with Spanish and all that, but the Holy Ghost is so real and so is the gift of tongues!

We had an awesome first lesson with Mirta which is one of our new investigators. Our lesson was when i was with elder Hill, the new elder that came in with me, and it was so awesome! The spirit was super strong and she was very interested. This week we have been working a lot more with the members and that is making a difference! We are starting with the relationship we have with the bishop, and that is making a difference! The guides we have as missionaries really helps us cuz it shows us what we should do in certain instances. I’m so glad that I have Elder Chandler as my trainer, because he helps me so much, and we are starting to be a really great team. In lessons we build off of each other, and he gives me chances to break out of my shell and share my testimony in Spanish, which is a real blessing because I am learning so much quicker because of that! A lot of the details from the week are in my recording thing, so if you are interested in all of that you can listen to it, but what I want all of you to get out of this email this week is that if you put your trust in the Lord and if you push forward with faith you can do anything. That is something that I have learned out here in many different experiences. I know that these things are true, and I know how much our message can change lives! I have seen it change mine, as well as countless others! If anyone has any doubt or feelings of hopelessness, this message will help you. I know this is true with all my heart and I cant wait to tell the world (Tolosa lol)!!! I love you all! Have a great week!!!

Hello everyone! So one more week down! which is pretty crazy! I cant believe how fast time just flies here!!! Im loving it more and more here! The people are so awesome! Its hard to get them to follow through with our citas or appointments because they are always “busy” but its okay because we are just spending our time taking to people on the street and what not. Its fun doing that because you can talk about some interesting things and you get a feel of the beliefs of other people. It is kinda funny because it almost seems like the people that talk with us the most and for the longest amount of time are the atheists haha. Well this week not much happened, but at the same time a ton happened. We had a baptism in another area which was fun and we did intercombios a lot, which are exchanges. It was fun to do that because I was able to see how other missionaries do things. I’m really starting to feel more comfortable here, but I still need a bit more time to really get the language. Im learning so much every day, and I’m understanding a little more each day as well. I cant wait till I can just speak easily with people, but oh well its kinda fun learning the language. When people say that they speak costellano here and not Spanish its true, because their accents are super different than like in Mexico and all that. They really have more of an Italian sound to their voice which is kinda cool, but just a little harder to understand. Well I don’t have a ton of time left, but today i had a zone activity and thats where my pictures come from. I love ya all and i hope you are all doing great!!!!
