Update on Elder Hone
Hey Family!
So we have had a pretty crazy week here! But we are loving it! It seems like you are all doing well and like you had a fun week and weekend! Brindlee, just so you know you are not bad at math. I know you are good but you're just being a turd about it! I can't believe it is October already! Time is passing by super fast! Before you know it I am going to be talking to you all on skype! You guys are changing a lot of stuff in the house to get ready for the baby! Where did you move the cedar chest? What color did you paint the room upstairs? It's weird that we are going to have a "baby room" in the house again! How did Dad hurt his back? Was he trying to move stuff all alone? What was he doing that for? Tell him he is almost a grandpa he can't do that stuff anymore. >:) Dang, I would really love to go deer hunting right now. In a meeting with president Avila he related teaching the gospel to hunting it was really funny and really great! President Avila is awesome he knows a TON about the gospel. But he was a member of the 70 and stuff but he is so great! Anyway I would love to go hunting. I hope dad get's a deer this year! That'd be really fun for him and Grandpa! That is good Mom that you saw Cheryl Call, How is she doing with Clint gone? I haven't heard from him for a few weeks, I bet he is just loving Japan! I am so excited for him! I can't believe that Austin leaves in a week! That is crazy! I am really excited about the age change for missionaries! It will get a lot more missionaries out and kids won't be so procrastinate to go, and then end up not going. I tried to send Robert an email but i don't know if he got it or not. I tried sending one to Kyle too, but I don't know if he got it either. I will have to see. That really stinks about Robert having to get a plantar wart removed! That is the worst! That is nice to know it is getting cooler at home, because here is is just getting hotter and hotter everyday! In the summer here in like January it can get up to 45°C but the average is like 40°C which is way high! Way hot! I am going to die of the heat! I hate the heat I wish it was cold here instead! That is really weird you are planning a baby shower for Shelbie! It is weird that she is going to have a baby! Weird.. There was a baby blessing is our ward yesterday for a young family for their first baby and the Dad is a stud I love that guy. He is great! I loved the photo of Marcie and her baby you sent me! I was so happy and excited when I saw it! Anyway I will let you know how we are doing, Wednesday we had transfers and Elder O came to the area and I picked him up at the terminal and He is awesome! We are having a ton of fun together! I will put a picture on of us and us with some other missionaries! Elder O has a different accent because he is from Brasil but he is way funny and we have a lot of fun and we work well together! The language is going good, now that I am with Elder O I speak in Spanish all day every day it is kind of weird, but it is cool because sometimes I just realize that I am speaking another language! But I can communicate well and talk to anyone it is great! I still have to ask people what a word means sometimes but in the back of my agenda every time someone says a word I don't know I write it down and memorize it and try to use it. Our investigators are doing well! We have been finding a lot of new people to teach and there is a really cool guy named Juan who is like a grandpa but he is awesome! When we leave a homework for him he reads it like 2 or 3 times and studies everything! He looked up the word "apostasÃa" in a dictionary to understand what it meant and then he read about people who tried to reform the original church but the lacked the priesthood and he told us that the priesthood or authority is missing from other churches! We have a baptism date set for him this Saturday and he has already been to church with us twice. He is great! This Saturday we have the possibility of having 2 people get baptized! It might happen it might not. But we have a family home evening tonight with Juan and a member family who is his neighbor tonight so I think he is pretty much set for baptism!! We are really praying for him and we are really excited! we visit him every day to make sure he is still on track for baptism. We found a great little family who is young and has 4 little kids and they are great too! We are really pushing to get some baptisms! So we are good! Our apartment is great! We cleaned up a lot this morning and we are just tired of the neighbor guy who is always singing and listening to crappy Spanish music and doing cual quier cosa but what can ya do? No in my package the Tabasco sauce wasn't broken, but thanks for sending it! in the next package I have a couple special requests: a package of bic mechanical pencils, a jello no bake cheesecake in a box, rootbeer concentrate, a bottle of MTN dew and Dr pepper, and a tiny speaker like the one I will show you in a picture that charges by USB. they are really loud and awesome! My speakers broke..Okay I wanna tell you the funny story of the week. Elder A got a new companion named elder B, and he is so crazy and he doesn't think of anything before he does it! We went to the apartment yesterday and Elder A was like all sad and upset and they got locked in the apartment because Elder B put the key in the door upside down and they couldn't unlock the door! So just before we got to the apartment, Elder B climbed out the window onto the roof and started yelling at some random guy on the street to help him get down because he couldn't get out of the apartment and they had to go to church! Elder B woke up all the neighbors and they were way mad at him for climbing on the roof and for clapping and yelling at some random guy on the street! This is kinda mean but he is kinda dumb! Elder A is struggling with him and I think he is asking President for a special transfer. Its super funny but I feel bad for him! Anyway family I love you all and I want you to know that your prayers really do help and as missionaries we can feel the support of the whole world of members every day! We see so many tiny miracles every single day! I love it here and we have tons of fun and feel the spirit like crazy! I have having a ton of fun here and I love it! Thank you all for all you do and I hope you have a good week!
