A week of surprisesssssss

July 14, 2014

Hey everyone......

Well here are the questions.......

Preguntas
1.  Give us your new responsibilities day to day.  Maybe a sketch of your day as an AP.
Well thus far it has been pretty crazy haha. We don't sleep much and when we have time to work, we have to go sooooo hard. it is so nice to be with President and his wife and learn from them just like being in the car or something, it is going to be a great time with them. This week we took the ones that were going home to the airport at like 3 in the morning and we have interviews with the whole mission in the next two weeks. I don't  know how much I'm going to be able to email but I'll get one out at least once a week to you guys. Huge humbling opportunity.
2.  Money.  Getting you a debit card might be tough in the time you have left.  Is there a western Union where we can wire you money for your remaining time?  I'm going to talk to Elder Hunt today when I see him about this. I'll tell him to hit you guys up with an email. But the sister here said that in 3 weeeks it gets down to here. I don't really know much about that. But I will let you know how you can get it down to me best.
3.  Tell us about your new area and ward.  I imagine they're downright sick of you in that Stake, huh?
Well, I am now working in El Carmen....!!!! YEEEESSSSSSS President gave me permission to go up there and work and I am soooooooo happy. I am now in Boca del Monte, El Porvenir and El Carmen. We sort of just roam and go wherever we want. It is soooooooo sweet.   
4.  Do you travel with the Pres. to Zone conferences?  Do you speak at most conferences?  Yeah we are always in that kind of stuff. We do practices with all the missionaries all the time. These 2 weeks we have to be in interviews with President with all the zones in the mission and that is going to be sweet. It is just a sweet oppotunity.

Well We are doing good. I actually have 2 companions right now, Elder Finch and Elder Oseguera from Honduras. Elder Finch will go home this change and Elder Oseguera and I will stay when he leaves. Man I am loving it right now. Super blessed and happy to be here and super stoked to be able to learn all that i am going to learn in these next few months.

I'm excited to be able to drive haha. That is going to be sooooo cool. We had interviews with Villa Hermosa today and that was good. I think one of the best parts of being here is that I am in my old ward and my old area. YES! Man yesterday was awesome in church and to see all of my converts in church and see all of the members in the ward. All of yesterday me and Elder Finch worked in El Carmen and that was so cool to be able to show Elder Finch around a little bit up there (we got  permission yesterday to be able to go up there)! Boom! Super excited.

President Markham is awesome. I had a great interview with him today and we talked about a lot of stuff. He talked to be about a lot of stuff and we talked a lot about Gabe and some stuff with that and he has similar experiences. Very spiritual. I love Hermana Markham. She reminds me sooooooo much of mom when I see him and talk to her. 

I'm just stoked to be with Elder Finch again haha. We are going to kill it so much. We will baptize too. We should have a baptism this weekend. Man I love it here. This place is so sick.

I love you all. I am so thankful for you and everything that you guys do for me. All the support and the prayers. Thank you! I love you. Thank you, Jesus!

I don't have any pictures at all haha. I will try and send you some next week! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!4

EARTHQUAKKKKEEEE!!!

July 8, 2014
Well Hey everyone....

Preguntas profundas:
1.  Did you eat any Zompopos de Mayo? NO!!! I'm soooo bugged! There weren't hardly any this year and I'm sooooo bugged! I ate some last year and they for sure were super crujientes!!!
2.  All I've heard is that it's been raining fosos down there.  True?  It actually hasn't rained for a while. It's weird haha. Maybe only here in the cap it isn't raining but who knows in other places. Last year it was going soooo hard at this time.
3.  Did you finally get your package?  A big fat nel! But maybe tomorrow in changes!
4.  Let us know if the Markhams do "parents coming down" any differently.  We're close to reserving stuff.
I don't think there will be any problem. I'd actually say that he wants you to come down haha. He's so awesome!!!

Well this week was crazy haha. We totally got earthquaked! I was totally asleep and it was like 5:20 and I thought that my companion was shaking my bed and i was like come on man! But then I realized that he was asleep and that the ground was shaking by itself. I thought, there are two options, Demons or Earthquake. It was an earthquake thank heavens. I'M ALIVE!

We had a good week other that the fact that they took my feet out from under me and are changing me! I seriously have no idea where I could be going or what could be happening. But it's all good. Dios sabrĂ  right! (God Could know) I'm excited and super nervous. Pte Markham talked to me yesterday and said that I am going to love my change and I feel Like it has something to do with an area or ward that I was in before. I haven't been this nervous for changes in a while! I guess we'll see.

I'm glad you had an awesome 4th of july. Honestly I almost forgot about it.... The mundial is supppper crazy down here. They all want Argentina or Brasil to win but I want Holland and I love messing with them because they get so frustrated haha It's awesome.

I thought I was going to stay and we had some miracles coming up and I'm a little disappointed to leave them and the people that we are teaching but it's all good in the hood. The zone has a lot of weird changes and we'll see que ondas ahi.

We had an awesome conference with President Markham this week and he talked about a bunch of stuff that helped me a lot. As I walked in, I felt like I was going to have to talk if they were to call out randomly and have people talk, sure enough they did, and sure enough I had to talk. I gave my testimony to the rest of the missionaries and it was a really cool experience to see how much I have really changed in my testimony of this Gospel and my love for these people. President came up to me after the meeting, gave me a huge hug and said " you got the message didn't you?" Refering to me talking. It was soooooo cool. Man President Markham and Sister Markham are soooo great.

I'm sad to leave the zone. I love this place. I've been in this zone for 6 chages now and I know literally everyone in the stake haha. We will come here to see General Conference! I went to El Carmen this week and got to see my converts. Man I love that place. I get more baggy for that place than I do for home... Hermana A will be going to the temple soon and I'll be able to go with here. That' is going to be very satisfying.

Well Jovenes! I love you all! Muchas Gracias! Jesus! Those are the most important words we can say in this life. I love you. Thank you. Jesus.
