Hello to You

FAMILY!!!!!
 
Dont worry mother i just enjoy showing people that I love what i do and what i believe in. And i do show it with love to them. Stuff here is good. My companion is Elder Newey. He is from Cedar Hills Utah. (pleasant grove area). We get along MARVELOUS. But the marvelous always has to come to an end sometimes. That time was on saturday when we got transfer information. My companion is leaving me and going to Zapala. I will be staying here in beautiful trelew and Elder Carquín will be my new companion at 10:30 tonight when he arrives. Elder Carquín is from Chile as far as i know. I know nothing else of him so you will have to wait til next week to find out more information. Yes i now have a latin companion folks. The spanish 24/7 is now on. We learn alot here on the mission. More that i ever would or ever did before the mission.
 
My week goes as follows: We talked to a man who told us he was Jesus. That was interesting. And on the 6th I hit my 6 month mark.......ya thats about all that happened this week. Almost everyone we went to go visit ended up fodging us. They werent there. So ya. Just spent alot of time taking pictures of my companion and the families he wanted pictures with. It will be a sad day today. My trainer leaves. He has taught me a ton. We had tonz of fun on the mission. Just memories up the wa zoo. But i am excited for a change and get to improve with my spanish and work a little bit harder. so ya.
 
But I have talked alot with Elders on the mission about the mission. Something about the mission changes a person. If they really have a desire to be out. I may be only out for 6 months but i feel like i have learned so many things about life. The way i conduct my life and the things i do. the decisions about the future. So many things. Its just something you cant explain. You gotta serve a mission to find it out and feel it. Thats why its so critical for every worthy young man to serve a mission. I love everything about the mission. Yes there are days when you just think "why am i even here" but then the lord blesses you with hundreds of those moments when you think "ah, thats why i am here". Those moments make it worth it. Love you family. Keep praying, reading, going to the temple.
