Well a lot of changes have happened in the zone. It seems that
about half of the missionaries that were here have been switched out
with new ones. I'll get to who my new comp is and everything in the next
paragraph...haha I'm sure you've figured out how I do my little pattern
every letter. Well thanks guys for letting me know how the thanksgiving
dinner went and everything. I really enjoyed hearing about it and
seeing some of the pictures that you sent. I'm glad that everyone had a
good time. It sounds like other than Thanksgiving dinner, you were all
able to do some fun things as well. As for me and my comp, we decided at
around 8 on thanksgiving night that we'd go get some pizza at Little Caesars haha. It was a different thanksgiving that's for sure. Our house
is right by a Wal-mart, Sams club, Chedraui (Mexican grocery store), and
like a little mall, so we have it good as far as the city life goes.
Everyone kept saying that it was different and weird without me and
Tyler ha I guess it feels nice to be missed. I feel like Tyler and I are
the black sheep or something haha. I can't believe Christmas is coming
so soon! Wow it's getting cold already up there huh? Here it is a little
chilly at night too.
Well on Tuesday morning I helped Elder Betts get all
of his stuff to the mission home. We had the fortune to be able to eat
Sister Reeves awesome breakfast before the transfer meeting. It was
something new knowing the whole transfer that I'd be getting a new
companion for sure. We had a great transfer together and we really got
along great. Well this time Pres. didn't call the Mayorazgo zone until
the last, so I ended up knowing who my comp was before he announced it.
I'm am now with Elder Rowe from SLC Utah. He is a great guy and we have a
ton in common. He is my 7th comp total and my 3rd American comp. Our
first day together was spent talking about golf haha because he played
on the East High School golf team and he loves golf as well. We have a
lot of the same hobbies. As for our week, it went a little bit slow
because Elder Betts and I weren't able to find very much new
investigators because of how busy we were. We still have 2 more
baptismal dates for the future, and we are working on finding new
investigators to teach. Funny thing is this is Elder Rowe's last
transfer on his mission as well. He is going to be home on the 31st of Dec.
which is a week early so that he can go to school. It's a little rough
at times because he has been a bit sick for the past 6 months. He has ulcers in his stomach and a bug I think haha which makes it hard for him
sometimes. We are still able to work and everything, just sometimes he
has to sit down for a sec and stuff like that. There is a lot of
exciting things that we are planning together though. With Christmas and
all there is a lot that is happening. My birthday is on the 16th and
his is on the 17th which is cool. My birthday lands on a P day so were
are trying to work out with our bishop a round of golf together on his
country club!! Hope it works out! We are also trying to plan a caroling
in the center of Puebla as like a joint zone Christmas activity that
would be big and missionary work because we'd be able to contact and
everything. I'm excited for this transfer. We are still working with
great investigators as well.
I love you guys! Thank you for everything. Keep in
mind what the Christmas spirit is all about. I hope you don't get too
cold up there in Utah. Keep that fire place running. I'm going to miss
all of you over this Christmas holiday, but I know where I'm supposed to
be. Next Christmas after this one I'll be with ya'll. Personally and as
a companionship we have been praying to find a family to teach. Pray
with us! Don't worry mama we bought a few Christmas decorations and
everything. We are also going to buy a small natural tree. It's going to
be a nice mission Christmas. Have a great week!
fuerte abrazo
con amor
