Magic Act

Hey everyone,

So this will be short because im trying to send as many pictures as i can. its been a pretty crazy transfer and I havent been too good at sending pictures.

Yesterday was my comps birthday so we had Cuy... or guinea pig for lunch... its a delacacy here... haha its actually pretty good once you get around the idea that your eating what would be considered someones pet in the united states. haha 

This week has been really rough not going to lie. We had about 5 or so investigators with baptismal goals and one by one they started dropping and disapearing and having little problems from every direction, and not even anything serious just little set backs. So we have been a little discouraged this week because we were so happy for our baptismal goals and they are not going to be able to be baptized this month... BUT we are NOT giving up on them. These are some of the nicest people i have met on my mission and they are really ready for baptism. I feel confident they will all get baptized its just to get around the small little things.

Even though its been a rough week I have realized more than before that I LOVE my area and im so excited to work with these people. We are really focused on finding new people right now too because we want to be able to continually have someone that progressees....

something weird from this last week.... I hit my year mark on thursday... I cant beleive im halfway through the mission. I feel happy but at the same time i feel jipped haha. I feel like i am finally able to really teach a lesson and connect with the investigators and... now suddenly its halfway over. im trying not to go too much into panic-mid-mission crisis haha. 

This week has also had its ups though. the other elders in my ward had a baptism this last saturday and it was really nice and spiritual a few of our investigators showed up and i think they really enjoyed it. I hope it helps them get over being nervous. 

well im sorry its not a ton but I wanted to share a few pictures. 

I know the lord is in this work. Its not easy, and its never been easy, but its been worth everything. Im ready to start another great mission year. 

(as Brother Bott from BYU puts it, Im ready to hit my Jump and Pump phases of the mission hahaha)

Love you all,

Thank for all the letters and emails!!

Always turn outward and keep smiling.
