I was part of special changes this week. What happened is Elder Hollander, my old comp, got called into the offices of the mission to be the new secretary. And how they do that, is they do the changes mid-transfer in order to be able to train the new guy, so that every change there is always 2 new secretarys. So anyways, on Wednesday we got the phone call and on Thursday we did the change. My new comp, is from the offices, he is the old secretary. His name is Elder Quirante and he is actually from Katy. Small world eh? Well, so he is Philipino, which explains the asianness. So yeah. He has 21 months in the mission. I am not sure how long we are going to be together, because the way things are sounding, if I do good this transfer, I will most likely be able to train next transfer. I really hope so, but we will see. Anyways, so yeah. Elder Quirante and I get along really well, so no worries on that. He plays a ton of instruments and so maybe I will get him to teach me more on the piano. We will see though.

 

 

Some cool experiences this week, we have been working with members alot more, do to the change. And we got a reference for a mom of a member. Well, we get in with her and she tells us her story. Her son, even though he is a member, is starting to fall into the bad things of this world, and so she has begun praying for him and came to church with him a couple of times lately. She then says she is not sure what she should do. We taught her about how she needs to be an example for her son, and needs to lead him back onto the right path. We compared her experiences with the 2000 stripling warriors and how they where men of God because there mothers raised them in rightous ways. All in all it was super cool. She knows what she needs to do and what not, but the only catch is she has a doubt that we can not get out. So we will be working extra hard with her this week inorder to figure that out. She is possible for baptism this next week, so we will see.

 

 

I ate Grasshopper the other day. It was gross. A member gave us some the other day and I was naturally egged on by my comp to eat it. I did and I never want to do that again. So gross.

 

 

One of the members here have a snake and they took it out of its cage. And I held it. It was cool. The last time I held a snake was when I held Kim Burkeys snake. So slithery and what not. I will send a pic here soon.

 

 

Did you know that Richard G. Scott could speak spanish. We had Stake Conference this week and he spoke via stelitte to all the zones her in Ciudad de Mexico. And he spoke in Spanish! It was cool.

Earlier today I went and visited some converts of mine. Back when I was with Barben. Do you remember Rosi, Fer and Jose Luis. They where the last baptisms I had with Barben. Anyways, I will send pictures. They are doing good, and are still strong in the church. They all have callings and the dad has the MP. IT is all so cool, to see converts grow.

 

 

Other then that, I cant think of anything else. A nything new?

 

Well, I love you guys lots
