Feb. 22, 2011 - Transfer coming????

This week has been really different and a whole lot of stuff happened. We went to the temple on Tuesday. My companion Elder Guevara and I were late but the session hadn't started yet. We got ready but they didn’t have enough room for us and Elder Figueroa, another elder in our district. So we just did initiatory, which were cool. Afterwards we took a bunch of pics outside the temple. I’ve attached some photos of that to this email so they can be put onto the blog. On Wednesday we had interviews with Pres. Ward. Mine went well. Pres. Ward is pretty chill and relaxed. He asked me if I wanted to stay in Pedregal this change and I said I would like to stay, but if he needed me somewhere else, I would go without a fuss. Then he found out that Pedregal was my first area and told me that they like to change out new missionaries from their first area after two changes. He then wrote ´´changes´´ by my name so I’m thinking that I have changes this Wednesday. I’m nervous about that but I’m excited to go somewhere new. Our numbers were kind of down this week because all this stuff that happened the first three days. But we have this new investigator that we are pretty sure will be baptized. She has gone to church twice already. We were going to place a date with her yesterday but something happened so we pulled an audible in the lesson and didn’t do it. But she will probably be baptized in March. We have 2 or 3 people that we are pretty sure can be baptized for March. I’m kind of disappointed about that because I will miss them but that is just how it goes. I have been getting these random killer headaches lately. I’m thinking it is because of the heat and me not getting enough water so I need to drink more water during the day because the only water I get is when we have meals or if someone we teach is kind enough to give us some but that doesn’t happen much. Something kind of cool that happened yesterday. One of the families in our ward used to live in Tacoma, WA for like 6 years. The husband taught or something there and there is where they got baptized. They all know English so they always talk to me in English. It’s pretty cool. He said that it snowed a ton there, but I don’t remember it snowing a bunch in Tacoma. It just rains and when it does snow, it just melts. But oh well. Well, changes this week so I will probably be writing next weeks email from somewhere else. I’m going to miss the ward here, but that’s just what happens. Alrighty nos vemos!

Feb. 15 2011

Hola everyone,

Things are good here in Pedregal. I've been a little sick these last two days but im getting over it thankfully. Idk why i got sick, maybe from the water. Supposedly the water is safe to drink now that we have water after 2 monthes of no water or sporadic water but I'm doubting that. Investigators are doing well. It's frustrating at times cuz we teach 1 or two great lessons and make return citas and they aren't there or they just dont progress further than that. One of our families are moving to a different area too so that was a knife to the ribs. We have a guy named marcos levy and he knows that the church is true and said he will be baptized but he has to work every sunday for the next two months. So that was bad news, but he is such a good guy and smart too. So I'm probably not going to see him baptized cuz I'm thinking I'll be transferred this next change. My comp and I killed a mouse in our house this week. What an experience. We chased it down and my comp got it with his shoe. We have been un successful in previous attempts so it was awesome. Well I gotta wrap this up. Hopefully my dad puts this up on the blog. Thanks for your support and prayers. nos vemos!
