Hey Padres!
This week has been tons better and I am having so much fun! I really love the letters so keep them coming! The one dad sent to me Friday was the best! I was having a hard time and prayed for strength. Your letter saved my butt for the rest of the day!
I have learned to be more thankful for things. It makes me so much happier! Instead of getting down because of my Spanish, I have been thanking my Heavenly Father for how much I have been learning. Don’t get me wrong I still struggle with it terribly! While we are having our fake investigators, me and my companion tried to just take small notes and relied on the spirit to say what we needed to say. It really works out and we feel better after than while we just write a script! I like to think that we are teaching people not lessons.
Days here feel like they're going by so fast. But it still feels like an eternity since I’ve been home. This week was terrible for my companion. The frijoles got him bad and most of our study time has been in the bathroom! Haha!! We call it "Release the Cracken!" I’m so glad i haven’t gotten sick…so far.
I got to see Derrick Scoffield this week! I love that kid and I’m so happy I have Mitchell Causey here too! Its a Box Elder party in the CCM!

I gave my first blessing to my companion! It was really cool! I just relied on the spirit to say what I needed to say. And GUESS WHAT?? A native missionary, Elder Esparza, is from Monterrey west mission area and he gave me his family’s name and Bishop’s name to go baptize his family! He is a convert so he really wants me to go and teach his family. I am going to take this picture to show them that I know their son. That would make my whole mission!! Funny how I got my first referral.
During gym times I go “lights out” on the basketball courts! They call me Elder Jordan because I make every 3-pointer!! Please keep me updated with the Cowboys games and the Jazz games.
I love you all SO MUCH!! Until next week.
P.S. -- PLEASE send Mountain Dew... I dream about Mtn. Dew and Def Leppard. Haha!!
