Abby got BAPTIZED

Dear Elder Hunt,

Mom woke me up on Saturday, and I said, "YES, today I get to get baptized" I was so excited! I will send you pictures of that day. I wasn't sure who I should have baptize me. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But, I decided that I would have Josh baptize, and then Dad and John could be in the circle to give me the Holy Ghost. I was kinda scared that my feet would come up, but Josh said the word's, and then before I knew it I was under the water and then out of the water. I felt so clean and happy. the water was cold.  Then we went to the High Counsel room, where i received the Holy Ghost. The spirit was very strong in that room. All the hands on my head was kinda heavy, but i felt really good.  I just want to try and stay clean now.

There was a talk before I got baptized that explained that the Holy Ghost is like a stop light. Red is that it will warn us not to do something, or tell us not to go somewhere. Yellow cautions us in what we say, do, or see. Green is go, it will give us the prompts to do what is right. I love you so much. I have started getting better and saying my personal prayers, and I always pray for you 2 times a day.

You are my great big TIGER.

Love you,

Abby

 

 

Abby I'm so happy for your great decision to get baptized and thanks so much for your great example of faith to me!!! I loved your example you shared for the spirit i wrote it down so i can teach that as the example to people. You just taught your brother something knew whose a missionary haha good job! But I remember how good Ifelt after I got baptized and I'm so happy you loved it Abby girl, thanks so much for your prayers. Abby they help me so much in the day, I love you soo much and pray for you everyday with school friends and every way you need!

Love you forever and always 

Your tiger Elder Drew Hunt

Wow,
John has been home for almost a month.
 Advice from me to you....say a prayer, do a fast and look the answer from the lord in the scrpitures. Ezra Taft Benson told us if we want to talk to god we pray if we want him to talk to us we read the scriptures. Most importantly put the lord first and everything will turn out well and youll get your answer.

Everything has been great with Elder Llanos is already one of my best friends in the mission and a great example to me of humility and faith , I am very grateful to be with someone who has the same mindset that I do in the work ! ! We have already said that this week has been the best of our missions. The first night we set a baptismal date and we had a good weekly planning effective and I am encouraged by the good that we will see miracles Mapping our diligence and faith.
Our numbers were low because we had changes Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday I was with Elder Famasili on splits these days because the other elder was bad and went to the hospital, we are all focused on the work.
We have two people who are waiting to get baptized. The man has to stop smoking, and his daughter must receive separate work to receive a house but is very good. Then we have a young man is also getting ready to get baptized and we will continue preparing it by December 16.I'm much better this week and I am encouraged by the work my comp and I are doing.

Haha you guys had snow we had a hurricane yesterday haha and i couldn't fall asleep it was so hot!!!!

 

Answers to questions... no I haven't had any burritos here. Umm actually burritos are more American than Mexican food it was invented in Sanora the state above Sinaloa where I'm at and it means little donkey the word burrito haha and it got famous in the USA so its more American than Mexican but i still love them!!! I eat beans and tortillas everyday and rice a few times every week my favorite meal would have to be chile rellenos which is a big green chile filled with cheese and meat ask Dad or John and they can take you to get one. That or carne asada which is basically steak. But i love Mexican food I'm starting to gain a little weight back from all the parasites.

 

My companion Elder Llanos is from the country Chile he is a great friend.  We are señor companions together and president told us he did that so that the area here could take off with lots of success we committed someone to baptism this week he's 14. and he's really excited. But he loves drawing maybe I can have him draw something for you guys! But we have a lot of fun he's learning English and he said "when he was pouring our clothes into the bag I'm puking" I started laughing cuz the way he said it sounded like he said "I'm pooing" then he started laughing to he was super embarrassed!!!

But I love the mission its so amazing everyday I have the chance to make people happy and be grateful for you and my family who make me happy

"Finding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will help us have the POWER to ENDURE and OVERCOME even the hardest trials in Life"

We are never alone! He has promised angels on the left and on the right, and he never breaks a promise!!!!

( Jakes i'm so proud of you in football and more proud of the young man that you are i love you so much Jakers i love you with all my heart!!! You are such a good person you are so kind and thoughtful so much like Christ!!! You are a hero to me and i miss you like crazy when i feel down i look at the picture of the family and see your handsome smiling face along with the rest of the families and it motivates me to keep on working. )

We are teaching a man, he told us that through teaching him he has hope and direction for the first time in his life of 50 years and hes trying to quit smoking too. Then his step daughter is really cool shes wanting to get baptized but has to get a job to be able to get divorced to get baptized.

But ya so the two that got baptized just moved with their mom to the area right next to ours and Im super good friends with the elders there and they'll take care of them. We got our changes and Elder llanos is my new companion, he was with Elder Famasili  our zone leader. He is from Chile.

This past week has been pretty hard. I have thought a lot about trials from the Israelites wandering for 40 years, to Liberty Jail and  Joseph sold into Egypt, to our Savior and the atonement.  How we are have hard times in our lives.  All I every wanted my whole life was to be the best missionary I can be, then to be a good mormon father like the perfect example I have. and have a great family.
 

I just feel super humbled when Joseph Smith says "The lord takes us low so he can raise us higher"  just waiting like ok lord any second I'm ready to go up now I know you love us so you give us trials, but don't love me that much ;) 

I'm excited for my new comp,  he's a stud and a super good missionary and super humble! We will have fun I just need to do more spiritual weight lifting  in my study time do like in Alma 17: 4 "search the scriptures dilligently."

 

here we go week!

I love you all and pray for everyone of you individually! Nos vemos hasta la semana que viene.

Love elder Drewster rooster Hunt

To answer your questions..
during the hurricane was the most peaceful day of my mission I just studied,listened to church artist and it felt so good with the wind haha it was a blessing for us cuz we don't have air conditioning. I wasn't his trainer I'm his second companion. 

That makes me so happy that John is home. I miss him and still do like crazy and I've decided I'm hugging you and dad first when I get off the plane then John cuz he is my hero. I love that kid so much I brag about him everyday whenever I can I love him so much just ask Elder Famasili haha I'm always talking about him!!!!

I did get the package thanks so much for the air heads, sweethish fish,garments and the 11 ties everything helped so much especially the garments cuz you sweat enough here let alone with small garments but actually ya if you could send the memory card both of mine got broke by the virus here in computers. cuz i haven't taken pics for like 4 weeks since the virus with my card happened its not the camera the camera is ok i just need to buy another one or see if i can reformat the ones i have.

 k gotta go baptize:) love ya bye

 

OCTOBER 14,2013

Alright so this week was pertty hilarious I had the best prank I've ever heard in the mission that I pulled on a Elder. (he had got me the week before) Yesterday he asked that I translate his prayer in English so he could do it in the district meeting in English and I said certainly my friend and I wrote the following

"Heavenly Father I give thee thanks to be here in the mission. watermelon. Gluegun hose holy wowzers please bless our investigators and all the missionaries in the name of Jesus Christ amen."  I gave it to him and he laughed. He says he knows English which made me laugh cuz  without a hesitation started the prayer and I totally forgot that I wrote that in the morning so he starts the prayer in the meeting and gets to watermelon and at that time I remember and think  my gosh he really doesn't know any English and he says watermelon and I burst out laughing and after the prayer  the zone leader looking at me like come on man in a prayer than I threw the translation to him and he reads it and buuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrssssts out laughing with his comp uncontrollably and he told me it was the best prank hes seen anyone pull in his whole mission and I'm so proud of myself he called me after the meeting laughing harder than I thought he could laugh. We laughed for five minutes straight as hard as I've ever laughed before I almost threw up I laughed so hard oh my gosh I love this zone leader he's just like randy and he was laughing saying with all the problems you guys have had that just takes the cake hahah it was hilarious and when I explained to the elder after the prayer why I was laughing he repeated quietly "espero ustexd dijo sandilla" haha (wait you told me to say watermelon)  He laughed at that hahaha it was sooooooooo perfect.!!!!

But we have the baptisms of two this Saturday so Im super excited for that but I started crying because I found out their moving the day after the baptism. Their mom is waiting to get baptized with her spouse.so I'm soo excited cuz this is the first FAMILY I'll have had the privileged to help enter the waters of baptism to partake of our first covenant. 

But I read the letter the boys  dad sent him and the spirit overwhelmed with what a blessing it is to have a family in the gospel or even just a mom and a dad every day when he has to wait to see his the beauty of the plan of salvation was absolutely magnified in the moment in the most beautiful way and I started crying and felt prompted to say that we were going to sing "Families can be together forever" and everyone started crying and i've never cried that hard in my mission before to the point where i couldn't sing it was so powerful. I was so grateful for the miraculous blessing it is to serve others to come to the light. it was an awesome lesson.

 

 Oh and right after we passed by the stake center and guess who was there for the stake event all of the Navolato teens including my Family cruz who we lived above they started screaming Elder Hunt frantically and it scared me and I turn around and I see hermana Suzzy who calls me seen and she starts screaming "my son"!!!!! SO I run over and start talking to them oh man it was the absolute best!!!!! But this week was really good we taught 36 lessons which was the most in the zone so that was cool to hear especially since all the hard work is helping two people get baptized this week!!!!!

Life is great

October 7, 2013

oksa dokses !! SO haha ummmm... we taught 32 lessons haha I don't get how John teaches 50 that's absolutely nuts!"!!!!! dude but I didn't know James Taylor sang with the Mormon tab choir???? when did that all go down.

  So craziest story I woke up to go to the bathroom the other day at like 4 in the morning I was suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper tired and couldn't see very well.. well we have tile floors in Mexico and I started going down the stairs then I finished falling down them and got a huge gash on my leg and arm that looks like the nike sign haha so I just sat there like are u serious! I hurt so bad but I'm to tired to get up so I got up cuz I had to pee and well I went and the next thing I remember was waking up in the bathroom idk if I fainted or was sleep walking but I woke up in the shower!!! haha I thought I died when my eyes opened light came in slowly and I couldn't remember who I was or where I was for about a minute and my arm the next day was huuuuuuge it seriously looked like a baseball I probably should've gone to the hospital but we had a service project and 5 appointments haha but I'm good now lol. 

 

We have two people that are going to get baptized the 19th and hopefully there mom too. Please put there names on the pray roll. The mom was the last person to leave the conference and the only one to stay during the intermission shes already stalwart and her step dad accepted to be baptized and is sincerely looking for the truth. As we read in Moroni 10 4 he will find it! He doesn't have a date still but he soon will haha but he comes from a ranch that's like an hour away to listen to us and comes to church every week and has for like 4 weeks now. The mom has come for  6 weeks. The 9 year old is so gung ho to get baptized when we took him to priesthood session I lent him one of my name tags and put his name over Hunt on a sticky tab so he wore my tie and came and sat by all the missionaries which was really fun. He loves the book of Mormon and gets mad if we don't start reading immediately when we arrive. but so awesome and his little sister, she is so stinking cute but she was the angriest little girl Ive ever seen for whatever reason she was just always angry but her mom  told me I've changed her cuz I'm the first person let alone missionary she gives a hug instead of a right hook to the jaw haha shes adorable and I was on splits  when the other set went to their house. The next day when we visited them  told me her daughter started crying when the other set of Elders came and I wasn't there she told her mom ekchaño hermano gandote like extraño hermano grandote "I miss the huge missionary" haha so the time after when I came she gave me a kiss on the cheek and a big hug it was so cute!!!!

October 7, 2013

(I wrote him about me being bite by a brown recluse spider and breaking one of my toes and getting food poisoned all before John was to come home... this is what he wrote back.. )

 "well at least were not the Hunt family... oh wait "lol remember that from  our neighbor, that they say al least they are not us.  dang im super sorry you broke it.  A brown recluse holy wowzers food poison jaheesh im way sorry!!!! tell me when youre out of the hospital haha. I did get to watch conference.  It was awesome, I understood this one haha the last conference was my first Sunday exactly so that was exactly 6 months in the field.   I printed our a bunch of pics today 40 pics of the family and Jake playing football, Abby in Jake's pads and a bunch more. The members only came to the stake center for priesthood cuz for the others they watch at the Capella in Navolato. But I saw 'Jesus' who I baptized and that was very sweet! Hugging him again and watching him cry as he thanked me and said,"because of you I have found the path to our Heavenly Father." and I said, "well me and my companions" and he cut me off saying, "no you were the one who brought me to Christ, since I didn't want to give up on him." So that was a super good feeling and he started crying after we hugged and he turned around to leave! There were two other families that I saw which were both my favorite families there so it was good to at least see the priesthood but conference was awesome its sweet hearing them teach things your stoked to use for your investigators!

September 30, 2013

 So there was a lot going on....  there was a Hurricane that hit there area and then went north.
so here are some of the things he wrote to us.....

(this was our question to him) We just hear that all the phones were stolen in the Mission Office after the Hurricane? Did you hear anything about this? 

yup haha we weren't part of that it was just one zone

 What did you drink during that time?  Extra bottled water? 
we actually didn't have pure water for three days and running water to shower for four days. haha

Gotta go love ya'll this week really was awesome! We led the zone in almost every number and progressing well, were hoping for 15 investigators at church well... 

 also, I bought Octopus today hahaha

September 23, 2013

From a missionary serving in his area..he is serving just a little south Culiacan in Costa Rica)

 "There was a lot of damage,The worst part is that there is a giant canal here and it overflowed and went to the houses and just ran right through them. The
 water was up to the peoples waists. A good amount of the members got water
 in there houses and just ruined everything. couches, clothes, everything.
 It was super sad to see the things that they have lost. But it has been
 amazing to see how humble these people are! They are so strong. They have
 lost so many things but yet they are so happy. But it made me realize how great the people are here. They know that the worldly things don't matter, and they were all just happy to be alive. These past 2 days all we have been doing is service! It's great. and crazy. Seeing their houes filled with inches of
 mud and water. and some of the houses don't have concert floors. so it's
 just mud. I love giving service to the people. It makes me so happy to help
 them. I love seeing the happiness and joy in the faces of the people. I'm
 glad to be here serving in this area. To have the opportunity to be able to
 serve the people here. Whether it's spiritually or physically.
 We were without electricity for a day and water for 2 days. 
(so for family and friends, Elder Drew's area was not hit that bad, in his mission there were places that were completely wiped out.) 
The hurricane hit us but it really was just a lot of rain.. it did a lot of damage in other parts of Sinaloa but here in Culican some colonies got a lot worse than others we were completely fine we had to stay inside all day but it was a good day: read a lot, wrote letters and it felt so good with the rain haha at first they told us it was a cyclone and for us that's really all it was but it was a hurricane and we were just further out so it was just really windy and rainy the only thing we had to do was put like 10 pots out to catch the drips 

It was super cool the other week we were walking to the district meeting and a lady popped her head out the door and said le habla! she's talking to you. So we turned around we were with the hermanas cuz they didn't know how to get to the chapel. And a super sweet older lady said come in Mormons so i kinda laughed thinking oh man that's all we need is another catholic to try and bash with us then she said"I have to show you something I love dearly" and she turns around slowly taking out a liahona in her hand and she said "I have read this for 5 years over and over and it is the most accurate doctrine of any church I have ever found."  She asked us where the church there was so we told her and she asked if she could join our church we laughed and said Certainly!!!!  Then I asked her where she got the liahona and she said a man who was shipping dairy products to her little shop had it and he gave it to her. From that seed planted 5 years ago and an inspired district leader Elder Famasili who for "some reason" felt like we should have the district meeting in their chapel again when we usually switch every week a Daughter of God has a baptism date and will soon be a member of the church. The lord truly does bless us and his children even when were not looking for it, he puts us in the path of others looking for the truth.

  (mom's quote wall, I need to send more!)

Drew and his love for life

September 16, 2013

The coolest experience was with a lady we are teaching. Shes a single mom with a daughter who is 14 and son who 9 and the cutest little girl ever whose 2. She has a  boyfriend but we had her pray to receive an answer to her prayers if she should marry him or break up, so she can get baptized. She said she felt an overwhelming spirit that told her its time to break up and everything will be ok.  Shes so over joyed right now and she hasn't told her boyfriend yet cuz she wanted to tell him in person and she hasn't seen him in a while. But shes so cool she lived in Colorado for 6 years I think so we talk in English a lot really sweet lady. She is so excited to get baptized and her son  is so anxious to get baptized he asks us every lesson if he really has to wait 5 weeks to get baptized. It is a new rule in all Mexico you have to go to church 5 times b4 baptism. and her little daughter and me always play together she's adorable. Later on in the week when we went to see her, she said every time we come she doesn't want us to leave cuz she loves the spirit we bring with us. She said the sweetest prayer the other day and cried for a minute straight in the middle of the prayer with out words and it was a very sweet spirit. I love obedience its so beautiful in our lives. . But ya so they're the 3 baptism dates and we have a fhe with a anonther sister,  she is golden and truly looking for the truth.

 haha we had to experiences with drunks this week and the one he gave me a kiss on the cheek and fore head three times then asked if i could give him one on the cheek and I tried explaining no, then he started getting mad so I did and then all was well haha he was the dad of one of the families we were teaching. I drew a Mr bean and pink panther on balloons  for a girl in the ward. I will send you pictures.

Love Elder Drew

One of the great members in his area

Happy Labor Day

 Hey Hey,

 Well i will sum up this week from a phrase from one of my favorite prophets Moroni in ether 4:6 and i quote"TIGHT LIKE UNTO A DISH" super tight! We led the zone in lessons we worked very hard.               

            Bishop Hernandez is awesome he is so pumped to work and help us with the mission work. he and his family are really stepping it up they invited a family to their house and we had dinner and they had legitimate interest that we didnt have to use our gnarly conversation gospel, conversation skills and I am excited to see how that goes. well i went a week with out a Mexican telling me i look like Jim Carey,Nicholas Cage or Mr Bean... all look very different from each other. haha 

 

I had an awesome experience with the power of fasting this week. I fasted because a hermana asked me to give her a blessing the next day because she is going through a hard time. It was the most clearly I have ever given a blessing it flowed very well and i mentioned things i didn't think about b4 the blessing in preparation. AAAAnd i touched a shovel three times this week and a saw and paint so it was a very good week we had 4 service projects and still cranked out 30 lessons. 

 

Back to fasting haha i didn't even fast for our investigators it was specially for a sister but i know that the lord blessed us with two baptismal dates that day for the sacrifice. But it came through the courage to ask the person in the other room(the person you weren't planing on teaching ) To come in and in those two lessons someone will receive celestial rewards because i was willing to go out of my way when i was exhausted and focused on someone else. 

The lord really does put the means out there but he also pushes us to the max to get there! I talked football for an hour with the assistant Elder Cozza it was awesome to get all the football out of me haha!!!  I miss I the family, volleyball ,Utah in general, a lot of things, freaking air conditioning haha thats such a foreign term oh haha. We had no power for a few days, I slept in 90 degrees without a fan and of course with out ac and i used a wet rag that froze throughout the day in the freezer to keep me from death... good times lol haha. 

But back to the point I MISS You A LOT but ive never been more PURE in my life even though i dont have the relationship i desire with the lord im getting there and i know he loves me for it. I love the members so much its hard getting so close to leave like that. but we actually have stake conference next week and im gona see navolato o0n sunday so im excited!

here is a wonderful piña colada recipe for smart people hahah

1/4 of a pineaple

3 liters of water

1/2 a liter of pineapple  juice

1 cup of sugar

2 limes i made that up idk how many till it tastes like the fruit of the tree of life:D

1/2 a cup of cream of cocanut

We had Elder De Hoyos from the 70 come to our mission this week and we had an awesome inside of the work of how we need to work with the members. everything is reference based now which is kinda nuts but really this is the way the lords work should be every member with a responsibility to bring souls to Christ. Elder de Hoyos was very impressed at my participation in the conference and so his wife after the conference was thanking me for my thoughts and we started talking me her and elder de Hoyos and she told me she liked me a lot so we took a picture haha you have no idea how cool i felt with my arm around a 70 in a picture! Ohhh and then at the lunch after i got to talk with all my buds in the mission which was super fun then when sister Velez was serving me I joked that I can handle the extra's, she laughed and said for a tall handsome missionary who will burn it off a lot better than the rest of us you need it and she gave me another slice hahah shes such a doll, i love her to death i feel like im talking to grandma when i talk to her shes just to sweet and we always laugh around each other.

After the conference when i was talking with Elder and Sister de Hoyos, hermana Velez joined us too and she just came up to me with the biggest smile and yelled ahhh Elder Hunt how are you! and i yelled Hermana Velez so much better now! and she laughed and she said i just love you and i said hermana well i just love you and your husband to death and its so hard talking to someone i love like my mom or grandma and cant give you a hug and she said with the sweetest like in her eyes elder i love you and one day we will ahh she is so sweet she really is an adopted grandma!!!!! and it was so sweet watching sweet President Velez sing "I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord" with all his love for this work ahhh it was an awesome day"!!!!!!oh Elder Hymas is hunters age he is fresh in the field he played on the Idaho volleyball team.

Love you,
Elder Drew

BBBBBBuuuuuuEEEEEEEEEEEnnnnnnOOOOOOsss tardes xD

Pues esta semana era the bomb! haha me and my handy companion el espiritu set four baptism dates all within this transfer!!! We went on splits with our district leader Elder Famasili whose a stud he reminds me so much of randy, he is an awesome missionary i think he is the best missionary in the mission he is just a stud. We were going to contact an investigator and i didnt know the area too well since it was the second week of the transfer and so we contacted the wrong house but the lady who lived there ended up being super golden and we went back yesterday and while my comp was talking with our district leader on the phone I taught her lesson one and asked her to pray to know if she should be baptized and that if she recieved an answer be baptized in two weeks and she accepted!!!!! It shows that dilligence truly does bring blessings!!!! With  another investigator  she has had the missionaries for 5 months and i had no idea but i challenged her to baptism and she accepted and a date too haha and we taught an awesome 13 year old who is taller than jake he is huge and his mom said he had to change before he got baptized and so they started arguing and it wasnt going well then i started trying to calm down the situation and before i knew what had happened i had made a chart with the things his mom wanted him to improve on and a two week calander with a contract that if he was obedient for 2 weeks he could get baptized. After the lesson i was like what in good gravy just happened!!! I am not that creative the spirit absolutely took over a situation that was about to hit the fan and at the end he had a baptism date it was super cool!!!! And we set another fecha with a the mom and the couple i told you guys about. And she has visted with the missionaries for 2 motnhs and never really sparked her attention till one of the members who is awesome went and visited her and when she left she felt the spirit super strong and said she felt like she was walking on clouds and i went on splits with  a guy in the ward whose aweeeeesome and we set a baptism date with her. And my legs hurt cuz we sprinted a mile up and down the crazy hills of Cañadas to get to a lesson last night haha. But the work is awsome i get here on mondays and its like uhhhhh what should i saw, cuz everyday the lord is building me and his kingdom and its awesome! But its craaaaazy hot the lowest it got last NIGHT was 91 fechin degrees its so hot and of course we dont have AC and my fan barely works hahaha. But ive made a goal this week that helps especially when youre exhausted to boost your spirits is what i think the most important key indicador is as a missionary how many smiles you can get in a day!!!! I love it making people smile has made me feel so much more accomplished in the moment of a very long day in a very hot mexico!!!! A I shared dc 122 with an hermana and when she read oh god where art thou in dc 121 1 she burst out into tears the poor hermana is going through a hard time but is such a stalwart her faith has strengthened my testimony tons!!!

 Theres a family here  and they call me their son so suffice to say we get along super well haha and there getting married in three months and will probably get baptized after which is super exciting. Dude so there was a guy who my comp started talking to, come to find out this guy drinking on the side of the road he kills people in the drug mobs... things for a living and wants to change his life and was drinking and doing cocaine literally three feet in front of me just sniffing away it was the biggest eye opener ever to this world hahah were not in Utah any more todo!!!! I don't know if i told you guys but the last week in Navolato i made a sister cry singing silent night in English that was super cool! hahah everyone here thinks I am 21-30 and i say 19 and no one believes me.  Thank you for the package. I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvved the candy and mambas hahaha hey and we went to walmart today it was so weird feeling normal again hahah .

ummmm.... oh at the zone conference everyone snatched the pics of Christ you sent hahah so if you could send more small ones that is the perfect gift to an investigator. oh i was so excited though it was like Christmas i bought together forever, finding faith in christ and another haha aaaand a big spanish hymn book and a case for it but i gave it away that night to a investigator when she accepted a baptism date haha so im gona buy another one cuuuz i dont have one anymore lol but it was totally worth it!!!! It was awesome though yesterday we taught 7 lessons in 9 hours and thats with walking like 4 miles, not too bad!!!! 

 

But its so exciting to see how much potential we can have as missionaries it really takes a lot of creativity to be a good missionary im definitely feeling ether 12 27 hes given me weaknesses so i come to him my loving dad for advice!!!! But I love it the work is great we have tons to do and oh crazy change in the mission so President decided that we cant contact people in the streets anymore unless we feel prompted which is a huge bummer cuz i love contacting and have had quite a bit of success from it but the purpose it to be focused on the lessons and working with the members and were not supposed to have lessons without a member which is gonna take a ton of communication and planning but its exciting how the missions changing. The best feeling at the end of the day is dreading the thought of sleeping cuz i just want to teach people about Christ and happiness we have in him and then by the time my head hits the pillow i zonk out cuz im just drained hahaha but its awesome and mom and dad thanks so much for the sweet blue shirt and the volleyball pictures the members love them and they're like hey you used to be strong lol. But on splits with Elder Famasili after the last lesson he said" dude you have this area unlocked and i asked what he meant and he said you've only been in this area for a week and you can already tell that your so deeply engraved in the members and investigators hearts thats something very rare its an incredible gift of the spirit and you will be an incredible missionary because of it!" it just about made me die and go to heaven i was so happy hearing that from the ammon of our day!!!! But man the mission is so much fun once you learn how to speak spanish everything starts falling into place!!!!!

Love you all
