It's just that time of year when the birthdays are going on just about
every day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND DAD...and sorry it's a little late. 
I
hope that you both enjoyed you birthday! Dad sounds like you did some
fun things to celebrate, but how bout you Mom? What did you do to
celebrate? I guess you went down to the St. George house with the team
right? Dad you turned 52?! Ohhhh man you are getting old pops! Haha well
I bet you'd still kick my butt in golf, so I guess I shouldn't say
much. I'm glad ya'll had a great week. Hey mom should I start saying
that I'm for St. George or from American Fork?? I'm starting to think
that I should say I'm form St. George now haha. Anyway tell Kaylee good
luck on the Drivers Ed and that I hope her teacher doesn't fall asleep
during the driving test like mine!
Well yesterday Elder Burden and I made cookies after
we got home because the exciting transfer news was coming. We got the
news and the only one out of our district that has a transfer is our
District leader Elder Knowlton. He has been here for 6 months now. So
Elder Burden and I will be staying together for another 6 weeks in the
same area. I'm perfectly fine with it because I really like this ward
and area and Elder Burden and I get along just fine. The one interesting
news we did receive is that even though we don't have transfers, we
have to be in the transfer meeting because I have a "change in
assignment" which means nothing else than I'm going to be the new
District Leader here on Agua Azul. I'm pretty excited for the new
assignment of responsibility and service. We had a pretty good week. We
were able to see Oscar twice this week (the one with a date) and so that
is good. He has a date for the 22nd of this month, but he says he is
not ready. We are going to do our best to help him feel prepared and
willing. We have been seeing this guy named Rafael who is a former
investigator about 2 years ago. He is a Catholic with very keen Jehovah's
witness views. He is very difficult to teach haha. He doesn't have any
teeth and he is really hung up on how there is 10 commandments when he
thinks according to the bible there is only 9. We also saw the cancer doctor for a little bit on Wednesday...that was nice. I hope that we can
see him more often. There is quite a bit of others that we see, but not
very many that are progressing. We expect to receive more investigators
this week, so I'm excited about that.
Love you guys! Hey Dad Happy Father's day! I wish
that I could Skype for Father's Day too. Well I'm continuing to learn a
ton out here as a missionary. It's such a great experience getting to
serve and help others all the time. Like you said Dad it does get hard
at times, but I know that the Lord is watching over us out here and that
as long as we are giving our best effort we will be lead to the true in
heart. You asked me how Spanish is coming. It's actually improved a lot
here throughout this time in Agua Azul. Especially because I do most
the talking in teaching and contacting situations. The way that it does
get hard is turning the switch off and on between English and Spanish.
Being an all American district we obviously talk in English. Keep it up
family! Thanks for all you do! Until next week...
Con Amor,
