Call Me..... Elder Ginger


Hola mi familia!! buenos tardes

Mi companero es Elders Danielson! The guy from LA I was talking about!  He is way funny and kinda out there! But in a good way!!  He has lived in California his whole life but went to BYU this past semester as a music major!!!  But I love him and we have a great time!! I'm definitely is learning patience though. I get interrupted every time I talk haha and some of the elders are very loud and have a hard time focusing, but no major problems!!  Tenemos dos elders en nuestro casa (we have two elders in our house), Elder Jugler from Ogden going to South Dakota, and Elder Tracy from Payson going to Oklahoma!!  We have such a blast!!  It’s been a party since we got here!!  We are always hanging out and talking and joking around!!!  So in each house apartment there are three rooms so six total people but we only have four which is way nice cause I took a pillow from the other room! pillows here suck!!!  So the first week was pretty crazy!  They still are working things out here so we kinda didn’t really have a schedule haha but that’s okay it was nice to have the first few days easy.  I have been assigned as district leader!!  Which is pretty weird for me cause I feel it is a lot more stress!!  I have to make a lesson plan and teach every Sunday in district meeting, which is rough since I hardly have time for anything else!!!  It is so brutal to be in the classroom all day!!!  Your head just wants to explode!!!!!!!  All the elders in my district are way cool, and we get along all so well!!!  It’s really a blast!!!  Hermana Johnson is way fun and loves the elders. Her companion, Hermana Newman is pretty cool too, she gets alot done too. Everyone together  make for some interesting times!!!  in my  district I have 5 elders going to Oklahoma, Elder Jugler going to South Dakota, and me and Elder Danielson gong to Texas!  The Hermanas are going to Virginia Chesapeake!!! So it’s been interesting talking with them!!  So no one in my district took Spanish hahaha so I have been helping them a lot cause I have some back ground in it hahahah and surprisingly I am doing very well with it!!!  I can pray and bear my testimony and hold a conversation rather well!!!!  I’m guessing that’s why I had to give a talk on Sunday....in Spanish ha yeah a bit soon but not too bad luckily!!!  And it was all off the top of my head because I didn’t have time to write a talk cause I had district meeting!  Anyway the food here is sooo good!!!  Beans rice and torillas every day hahahaha and then a ton of fruit and weird meat but havent skipped a meal yet!!!
One of the best things about down here are the natives!!  We have become really close to Elder Castro and Elder Malondoa!!!  They are hilarious!!!  And all the gringo elders told them to call me elder ginger hahahah which is pretty funny and they always talk about my pelo de fuego!! hair of fire hahaha I’m sad they will be leaving this Sunday but they said we have to come back after our missions so they can show us a good time!!! haha  So as you probably know my pday is on Wednesday and we got to go to the Temple today!!!  It was such a cool experience!!!  It feels totally different down here, spirit is so much stronger!!!  A bit weird that is was in Spanish, luckily the lord knows we did our best  in understanding it  hahahah other than that not a ton has happen!

Oh yeah I got sick already that sucked hahah but getting better now, not really sure what happened but it’s all good!!  We have an investigator named B**** and yeah doesn’t speak English haha but I’ve done very well in the lessons not so much elder Danielson, but he is getting there. we are asking him to committed to baptism tonight!  So we will see how that goes or if he throws a curve ball again haha
well not much more to talk about things are going really well and I’m loving! I know this is where I’m supposed to without any doubt in my mind.  It feels so good to feel that I finally belong!  And to have a purpose!!  It’s so amazing down here and everything about it is incredible!!  

Yo se que la iglesia es verdadero!!! el espritu santo es muy fuerte aqui, y me gusta que mucho!!! yo se que Jesucristo es tu hijo de Dios!! yo se que Jesucristo es mi la salvador!! estamos agradacidos para el evangelio aqui!! el evangelio es verdadero!!! puedo sentir Dios amor para me!! (I know the church is true.  The Holy Ghost is very strong here and I like it a lot!!!  I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and my Savior!!  We are grateful for the gospel here!!  The Gosepl is True!!!  I can feel God’s love for me!!)

con amor,(With Love)
