October 6, 2014

Dear Family,

Hey! :)  I did see Brianna, Dad, Tori, Bro Jensen, and Morty. :)  It was so cool to see people again and weird at the same time.  It was so much fun and so spiritual to watch conference!  We had Pablo come to the priesthood session!  He loved it. :)  First time he's been to church.  And also Gary and Debbie came too and then later that night (yesterday) we all got together and talked and stuff.  It's been such a good couple days.  I loved the General Conference talks.  There were so many good ones and a lot of them were answers to my prayers and guidance for what I should do for the next six months.  I loved Jorg's talk as well!  The whole thing was just so awesome...  Jorg's may have been my favorite though.  We watched conference at the stake center which is the building I meet at for church.  It was super fun. :) 

I had a cool experience with my military plan and what I went through with that when I was a junior.  There's a 17 year old girl member here who really wants to do military and is planning on it but she didn't want to ask God or read her patriarchal blessing or anything so I went over and shared my experience and how there are other ways to joining the military than following whatever the recruiters say. But she was super appreciative of me coming over and sharing my experience with that and yeah!  Woo!  

I loved the pictures of the pumpkins!  :)  They look so fun and huge!  How did that even happen?  I don't even remember where they were growing...  That's so cool though.  I like the picture of Sam sitting on his pumpkin. 

That's so much fun with soccer. :)  Man I wish I could be there and play around with them.  I love playing soccer now with the other guys and I still got it. :)  I've made some pretty cool goals and stuff.  But there are way good people here too.  One of the guys plays professionally.  I feel pretty cool when I go up to him and am able to get the ball away from him and yeah! 

Things between the districts have kinda come at a standstill.  We're just waiting out the transfer I feel like.  Which we will find out about transfer stuff this week!  I will know by Saturday night what is going on with my new companion and stuff!  I'm pretty sure I'm getting a new companion so yeah!  Pretty crazy!  Stressful too though, but it's all good.  Elder Creasy actually isn't doing very good.  He asked us for a blessing the other day and I gave the actual blessing part not the sealing.  He's getting better though.  

Casper is the bird that bit my finger and I still talk to him sometimes. :)  I keep waiting for him to attack me in the middle of the night too...  

My bike is kinda funny.  It's pretty dead.  I'm just hoping I can make it last for another 20 months. I think I might be able to but we'll see.  I try to save the brake since I only have one which makes things kinda adventurous.  

Zone conference is Friday from 9 till 4:30.  

Oh also, I was told the other day by a member that when I speak Spanish I sound like I have a French accent. :)  Kinda fun but makes me wonder if my accent is that bad that it doesn't even sound like a bad English accent.

As far as success goes, this last week has been much better as the other weeks have been.  It's been a hard transfer with other people but a good one number wise and teaching wise.  Different experience.  We'll see what next transfer brings!  

Oh could you also send me dates of everyone's birthdays and important things like that?  I'm forgetting all sorts of things that have to do with time and I can't remember for the life of me what Dad's birthday is.  Weird how time gets so distorted here.  The weeks are blurring together and moving quickly.  But slowly.  It's strange.  

I don't really have anything to say about this last week though that I haven't said already so sorry! I love you guys!  I'll send another email if I think of anything interesting that happened this last week.  You all are awesome!  I miss you guys!  Have a great week and have fun!
