Sorry I didn't put these up sooner. I guess we will also get more tomorrow.
Mom
I actually did not get transfered.... im the man of the area for a week training my new companion..nothing has been harder than that haha. but i am surviveing just a lil hard where people live in 2 huge areas and remember names and what we have taught. its crazy. but i got a new companion Elder Hurtado he is from peru and he has 15 months in the mission. its crazy and he keeps saying its not that much time in the mission and makes me mad haha. but he is a straight forward hard worker. which is good for me i guess but he likes to joke around sometimes. i cant send a picture this week cause we are at a different place buuut i will send one next week. and i couldnt open any pictures either so i have to wait till next week. anyway sounds like it has been crazy at home. i dont think i could have handled dad having a spike in his foot that would have been crazy. And these girls your talking about arent in my mind anymore for 2 years so dont try to explain to many of them. i havent given a talk yet annnd español is coming along still. i can pretty much understand what everyone is saying. and i can teach for longer periods of time giving examples and experiences and what not. so not too woried about that.we actually had some new americans come in our district this week. its fun to see how far i have come i gave one a call after the first day to check up on him and talk a little english so he doesnt freak out. i know when an elder called me at the beginning it helped me a lot cause i didnt know what was goin on and he gave me some tips and gave some assurance so i thought i would do the same. haha mom i really just wanted my card to work if i wanted to buy somethin down here for you guys or for me when i dont have any other money. cause we dont get much for every month. just enough. but i can buy anything i need here really. i mean i have starbursts and skittles in our house. bought oreos the other day and mac and cheese. so its not too bad cause we are close to santa cruz. well im glad u think of me fixing fun stuff like the garbage disposal. i keep looking for oppurtunities to fix stuff down here. i fixed our shower for hot water and the whole time i had flash backs to work. that was a lot of fun took it apart saw how it worked and went bought the part and replaced it done. ya anyway i am doin just fine we have some babtisms lined up for this month so we are pretty excited about that. hope everything is goin well at home and dad just needs to stay inside and watch tv. but ya i dont think we are leavin the house next sunday cause 4 de mayo its pretty crazy here i hear. but its all good. we fasted to hope everyone is safe and smart. but love you guys and hope to hear from ya next week.----
From 2 weeks ago.
Um i think i only got one of those emails last week. but i got the ones u sent this week. Ya i was kinda wondering why u only wanted to talk about basketball. its all good. Im doin just fine, i am now getting use to the every day stuff and liking it. its only hard when im talking or teaching and the people are confused about what i was sayin ya but other than that im good. Transfers are this week and i wont know if i stay or go untill tonight i think im leaving. which is sad cause this place is about to explode with babtisms but o well. this is a perfect place for new guys to start anyway. BUt i am an expert on the area now too...kinda cause we have the biggest and most difficult area around here. yesturday we walked probly like 6 miles just in the afternoon. on one road haha. but its all good lots of street contacts. The president is president maynes. he isnt too strict he is really funny and everyone says he is good at bball i think he played in college or somethin. but he likes to joke around but he can teach very very well. every lesson he has is amazing. The painting looked really cool, i have started doodling more and more now. trying different things while i am out here. ya my tan is coming along but everyone here still knows im a gringo. i dont know if u saw in the picture my awesome watch tan line. thats the color i had leaving the mtc and man was it white. i still feel like i dont have a tan really being around people that are almost black. well it doesnt really matter cause my height gives it away anyway that im from the states. i dont need sunscreen i havent gotten burned yet only in peru a lil. we do pretty well stayin out of the sun. o ya i know its probly a good thing but i cant take money out from my bank card here i can buy groceries and what not but i cant withdraw dont know why. just thought i would let you know. and u dont have to really send me too much here cause i can buy pretty much whatever i need. we go into the city every pday and its really modern there. umm but ya im still learning a lot every day and im stayin healthy as well. hope every thing goes well with the wedding. im goin to try to send home some stuff the next change nothin big just a few cool small things. but ya love you guys and thanks for writing. these pictures are of our district and zone.
