It's good to hear from all of you! Thanks for always
writing me. I'm glad to hear that all is well and especially glad to
hear that Tyler is doing better. That was a scare. That's cool that you
guys went down to St. George for spring break. I forgot that it was
spring break for you guys. I guess at UVU it was like in March right? I
still remember that awesome road trip that Tyler and I with a bunch of
friends went on. That was a super fun trip. Well I hope you guys have
fun down there. I'm still pretty excited to see the house. I'm sure you
guys are pretty used to it by now, but I'm still excited about it haha.
That's cool to hear about Jami's friend that's going to be baptized this
weekend! How cool. Who are the missionaries that teach her? Are there
more missionaries in our stake now that more have gone out on their
missions, or is it about the same? I think I remember that before I left
there was like a pair of sister missionaries for the whole entire stake.
You all asked about conference. We tried getting it in English, but we
didn't have very much luck this time. The Internet wasn't working very
well, so we watched it with the satellite signal in the stake center,
but in Spanish. I understand everything just fine, but it's just not the
same listening to a translator instead of their real voices. It was
good though and I really liked it. We tried our best to get people to it
and invited and even passed by for many, but at the end of the day we
didn't get anyone there. Oh well. It's apart of the mission :)
Well this week has blown by really fast. Last
Tuesday we went to the transfer meeting and everything. I was anxious to
see who my new companion would be. They announced our zone first. I am
now with Elder Christensen from Denver, Colorado. He is a great
missionary and a way cool guy. He is from the same generation as my last
companion Elder Sanchez, so we has around 18 months on the mission.
It's been nice being with a people now that doing have quite as much
time like the ones that ended their missions with me. Elder Christensen
played baseball in high school like me and is really smart and a good
singer. He went to BYU Provo for a year before his mission and is going
to study mechanical engineering with a focus on like space ships and air
planes. Sounds really cool. He is a brand new Zone Leader, so I'm
showin' him the ropes. This week after the meeting we had to help the
zone get to their areas and all that, so we weren't able to do much on
Tuesday. We had a couple of normal days, and then we went to the mission
council in Puebla on Friday and that lasted most of the day, then the
weekend was full of conference. This week is going to be even crazier.
We have the zone meeting tomorrow and then Zone conference on Thursday.
Yes there is a difference, dad. The zone meeting is just us the zone
leaders and the zone. We give announcements, talk about mission rules,
goals, and we teach the zone and do practices. The goal is to transmit
was we learned in the mission council and we do it every month. It's a
new meeting for missionaries. Now the zone conference is with Pres.
Reeves and is only once every three months. It's longer and everything.
So this week is going to be really busy as well. In our area we are just
really trying to get some new investigators.
My favorite talk in conference was the talk that
President Thomas S. Monson gave during the priesthood session. I loved
the question that he asked all of us: "brothers, are we the same person
no matter where we are or who we're with?" I feel like it was a really
good question and a good talk. I really like it. Well I hope that you
all have a great week. Oh, I got grandpa kitchen's letter! It was
awesome. Can you send me his email again so I can email him? I would
send a letter, but honestly it's kind of a difficult process to find a
post office and everything. There isn't one here in the town. Thanks for
everything that you guys do and the support. I love you all!!
Con amor
