Thought you'd enjoy this.
My Beloved Family!
Im officailly telling everyone right now, pleasewrite me at THIS address from now on. My Myldsmail adress only has a 5 mg. sized mail box and... after a YEAR of 4 to 5 letters a week well it gets a little full! And ive about hit the max... and its honestly a really bad service! So to let you all know please to THIS account from now on!
Well, things in the mission are INTERESTING! Starting off with the BIG news... well tommorrow are changes and for the FIRST time in my entire mission they arnt going to change me or my companion! BUT they are going to.... Call me as DISTRICT LEADER! Yah im pretty excited! My district is going to consist of 3 companionships. I am going to be the one who goes and does the Baptismal Interviews for the people who are getting baptised. I am going to have a PHONE! FINALY! making all your calls from pay phone is really Lame!
And i have to give what are called Capacitations, they are little little lessons every week to my district in our Zone meetings. So yah, its pretty exiciting! Other news... in exactly 10 days i complete a YEAR in the mission! Its CRAZY to think that a year ago i left home and even crazier to think about HOW fast it has gone by and then to think that just that fast im going to be HOME! Its intersting to think all your life... when im 19 im going on a mission and thats kind of...
your limit, you kind ofmake all your plans knowing that your going on a mission, that your goingt o have a 2 year Hole in your life at home... but NOW, when i think about normal life... i dont have ANY limits...there are no more HOLES! Its just... exicitng and kind of nerve racking... good thing ive still got a YEAR to go which is PLENTY of time to get more owrk done!
Which i will DO! Our AREA! Well as you know last week we had 5 baptisms! Which was very exciting! One of the families that got baptised had a brother that didnt get
baptised with them. But he NOW is all intersted and LOVES going to church and we talked to him and taught him and so now he has the Baptismal Date of the 11th... which just happens to be THIS saterday! Its really exicitng because this family has a daughter that is 18 who is just a punk kid, she hates us is always off with her friends drinking and just... not too good of a girl. So now EVERYONE in her family except for her is goingto chruch and stuff. and THAT is when people start to have desires... seeing the progress of everyone else... I really hope we can reach her soon because she needs alot of help!
My companion and i are getting along well, i am kind of... worried because this is the first time ive had to be with a companion for 2 changes, and ussually after one im about ready for a change. The good thing is that i dont feel that way with him yet. So i think things are going to be good. Umm, other news... there really isnt much. Other than... im forgetting english, i seriously am going to have the HARDEST time talking when i get back! I bet the whole world is going to make so much fun of me! But oh well, the cool thing is that i can speak Spanish and YOU ALL CANT! Its really going to be great being able to speak spanish at home, especailly being in Architecture, because ill be able to work well with the construction workers because half of them are mexicans. So ill have plenty of oppertunies to practice. Well thats mostly the big stuff i hope you all know that i love you, that i miss you all and that im
really doing good! I hope everyone is well, i hope everything is under control, i love you all have a great week and ill be abck in the next! I love You All
