hey mom.
thanks for the emails! i received a lot this week and tell m and t thanks for the letters. that is so awesome that dallin is going to norway! i guess i shouldnt complain about my 8 baptisms i have now. but yeah, i am stoked i get to see him for three weeks! the family is awesome. the hermano is the president of the branch. they do treat us very well here. but yeah. once again, not much to report. elder s and i are doing fine, just not much going on here in the area. we are trying to get things going but to no avail. we just had transfers and the both of us are staying, so i am the first comp elder s has for more than one transfer. on friday, we had zone conference with pres d. the last one unfortunately. he leaves this friday and the new president gets here friday. so i say i will probably never see him again. but he gave a good couple of workshops. mostly talked about getting the obedience back up. he commented that the obedience of the mission as a whole has dropped and we need to kick it in to gear for the new president until he gets acquainted with us all. i really enjoyed listening to him. i learn so much every time he speaks with us. i will miss him. but the new mission pres will do great. well mom, i love you!

I KNOW CHRIST DIDN'T WANT TO BLEED FROM EVERY PORE, BUT HE DID IT WILLINGLY AND SUBMITTED HIMSELF UNTO THE FATHER. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT AT LEAST HERE IN THE MISSION.
hey mom
well, unfortunately the week has been uneventful. i believe i am just in a trying time again. we really are trying to work on what we do here, but to no avail. elder s and i are doing really well as of right now, we have transfers this coming sunday. and we are having our final zone conference with pres d on sunday. i believe it will be his last sunday that day. the other companionship is doing ok i guess. so i found out about the camera. its something that the shop here cant fix. they need to order parts to do it and they arent even sure they can do it. i think it would just make more sense to buy one. what do you think? yeah, the gas and electricity are great to have. its pretty dang cold, we walk out in the morning and there is frost on the ground. plus its humid. so it is pretty chilly. thats awesome about dallins call. i am stoked to here what it is!
so this week, we havent found any new investigators. we have been on quite a low streak of late. i cant think of much to do to try and get more investigators. we are just not feeling so hot either. i know i am feeling a bit depressed and less desires to go work. not much i can do about that though, but go and work. i know Christ didnt want to bleed from every pore for us, but he did it willingly and submitted himself unto the Father. i should be able to do that at least here in the mission and go out and work even though i dont feel good. so i am just trying to find the enthusiasm once more. not sure how, but i got time to figure it out. well mom. i hope i here from you soon. i love you! take care

WE ARE JUST PLANNING ON WORKING ON HELPING OUT LESS ACTIVE MEMBERS
hey mom
well i still dont have much to report. its cold, i wake up to seeing my breath in the air. we walk a lot. anything funny last week? not that i can think of. i now cant speak in english very well. spanish words come out all to often and i mix up my words. we havent had any progress with investigators this week. so we are just planning on working on helping out less active members. hopefully we can pull some references out of them. we also had a reference come in last night, we are going to visit it afterwards. hopefully we get some help soon. havent received the package yet. i wish i had more to tell you, but we walk a lot, try to teach people at doors or wherever but to no avail. i took my camera into the shop today to see if they can figure out what to do with it, so next monday i will let you know whats up. well mom, i love you! chau!

hey mom.
yeah, this week was just like last week. not much change. we didnt have any good success. there is a girl here named l who is 14 and goes to church every week. but she feels she doesnt have a testimony so she hasnt been baptized. so we are going to try and start working with her. but yeah, according to my camera, it is completely broken. the front is coming off. and it wont turn on. so yeah. i dont know what you want to do. its kind of sad getting to the end of the mission. i dont like it. but hey, not much i can do about it. the other elders are talking to me about the trunky papers getting here soon jaja. but yeah. i really dont have much to tell you. i wish i had more to tell you but yeah. many a birthdays are coming up soon it being the month of june. happy birthday to all those in this week! love you mom!
