March 27th, 2017

I bet the temple was fun, that is one of the first things I'm doing when I get home, is go to the temple. Life here is going well, we had a conference with president, and interviews, it was fun.  President is going home sometime in July, and their homecoming talk is sometime on the 9th.

Life is good, our investigators or doing well.  ________ is a guy who has two daughters and a wife, but we have not meet her.  He is cool.  He says everything makes so much more sense than what all the other religions teach.  He works Sundays so we will work on that.  The familia ______, the dad is  less active, but the mom is an investigator, and she doing great.  The dad doesn't really want to go to church, and she only wants to go if he does, but they are nice.

We have gotten a little break from the rain.  All the missionaries hate the rain, but I like it.  But it might rain later tonight, it is getting a little cloudy.  I have a picture of a storm that missed us, but it was cool looking.

No one here cooks tacos, or burritos, so next week me and Elder Lambson are going to make tacos and breakfast burritos, so it should be good.  Can you guys find out how to make chocolate pancakes using Hershey's cocoa?  Because I have some, and my chocolate pancakes aren't working.

I don't know what the time difference is now but we have General Conferences at 11:00, and the priesthood session is at 7:00.  So I thought we were three hours off, but I don't know.  I'm really excited for conference, I can't wait.

I love you all, and have a great week.

March 20th, 2017


Well, life here is good just a lot of rain.  We got a little break today, it only rained for a few minutes.  We have been finding a few people including a Jehova's Witness and two families that are nice.  They are a little Catholic but they're good, nice people.  Most days we are just contacting and no one wants to listen to us.  They all think we don't believe in the bible and that we think Joseph Smith is our god.  They don't believe us when we tell them otherwise.  They are all Catholics and Jehova Witnesses, so it is hard, but some times they open up.

The video of the missionaries fighting?  Yeah, I saw it.  A less active showed it to us, it is fun, but we are a little scared that all the thug groups here are going to watch that video and try to take on the missionaries.  I haven't had a problem yet, only a drunk trying to steal from us, but we just kept on walking.

 AND, I got the package you guys sent me.  I'm surprised it got here that fast, but I already ate everything.  It was just so good I couldn't stop.  I'm happy you guys thought of the suckers too, they were great.  My shoes started falling apart, I sent pictures and then I got them fixed, for a dollar, so they're fine now.

My sector is not big.  You could walk from one end to the other in 15 mins.  It is nice and flat and we just walk everywhere, except to the zone meetings every Thursday, we take a bus.  They are starting to put a subway in here.  I don't know if I will ever get to ride it, we will see.  They are working on it very fast and we think they are putting in a station by our house, we have been watching them build it.

I don't know when president leaves.  I just know that, at the end of March, we get our knew one and president will still be here to train the new one.  I think the new one is from Utah, but I don't know.  Ellie's concert looked good.  I was thinking when I get home we sing a song in Spanish for the ward.
  I was just watching the video "Lessons I learned as a Boy."  You guys should watch it for family night, I love it.

Other then that, life is great, and i love my Spanish, it is not perfect but I'm improving and talking a lot more.  I love you all and hope you all have a great week.  I sent Ellie the pics.  Some are old and the last one I took today we had a zone BBQ it was fun.  The food was alright, but the best I have had so far.  Love you all, Hugs and kisses, :) Chiste no mas.

It is crazy how many people are going on missions in our ward, when does Spencer leave?

Life is great here, it has been raining about all week, but I don't mind it, it is fun.  It is crazy because in 3 transfers I will have a year, and we will get a new mission president.  Time is just flying.  I want to have a family but I don't want to leave.  I want to stay here for my whole life; I love the spirit I feel and teaching the gospel is such an amazing experience.

Sorry I don't have a lot to talk about, but I love you all, and have a great week.  I will have pics next time.

Well, the week was good, and we did baptize Gloria, it was great.  Now we are teaching her friend, so it should be fun.

We had stake conference, the stake president is pretty funny.  The ward members love us, and they are all really nice people.

I am happy everything is going great there, and it is great dad fixed the parking brake on my jeep, and that mom and Ellie watched the Restoration.  I love teaching about it.  Just about everyone normally asks us where in the bible it talks about Joseph Smith because they all think if it is not in the bible it is not true, so it is interesting.  We just ask them to ask God, like Joseph Smith did and some do and others don't but I love the first vision.

Sorry this is short, I just don't know what to talk about.
I love you all, and hope you guys have a great week.
