Hola Familia:)
Coma esta, estoy muy bien y muy muy muy feliz, gracious a mi pardre celestial y mi muy bueno compano:) Translation: hello family, how are you? I am very good and very very very happy, thanks to my Father in Heaven and my really good companion. Wow, this week has flown by. We have been working our butts off to make our goal of 23 people to stake conference and ya, we failed. We had 29 people with names and almost every member committed to bring someone, but in the end, we only had 7 there and one of the 7 can’t get baptized for like 10 years. (so I was pretty disappointed but I’m just grateful for the 7 we did have). It seems like we worked really hard, physical invitations, daily contact that is super hard. This week has been one of the most tiring weeks of it all but it was really good. I just gotta say, I’m really happy it’s p-day. So this week, I actually have things to tell you. First off, I had to laugh when I heard about Karly commenting on the blog. I can tell you what it says without looking at it. Yes, I am getting fatL Oh well, though believe it or not I’m now losing weight again. I’m now exercising at night too and it’s working. They all laugh because I show them pictures from before and I guess Karla is googling me.
So this week, I had another chance to exercise my talents. I may not be able to speak Spanish good but an investigator was trying to fix his clothes washer because some mice or rats got in and chewed the wires so it wasn’t working. My companion told the investigator that I was good with stuff like that, so long story short, we got there and I ended up rewiring his clothes washer for him and guess what…it works now to!
Also something that hit home with me really close this week was a verse in the Book of Mormon. 2nd Nephi 29:3 where they are saying they don’t need any more Bible. Wow, that’s so true out here. They are always saying they have a bible and don’t need any more bible. All of Chapter 29 is so so so true. It’s amazing. You all need to go read it. Oh, as for Dad’s questions YES I RECEIVED A GREAT PACKAGE THIS WEEK with a recorder in it. Gosh I loved loved loved hearing Sarah’s voice. I love her! Wow it makes me so happy also getting a Salted nut roll. Haha, I was so super stoked about that. I’m saving it for a special time, maybe for Christmas. I’m not sure yet. Thank you so much for everything in the package. It was greatJ American Candy is great especially lemon heads and grape heads. I love those. About the phone call on Christmas. There is a couple of ways to do it. The best way I can think of is just to call our house cell phone. I don’t know times or anything yet but I’ll let you know times and stuff, but the best way to do it is probably just get an international phone card and call me. If you have any other ideas, let me know. We have 4 weeks to figure it out. We won’t stress the little things. That’s one thing I’ve learned out here. Nothing ever goes to plan, so just be patient and don’t stress the little things. We had a great Thanksgiving actually, it wasn’t much. I sent pictures of it. We made signs and burn it, ate tuna. That’s the closest thing to turkey we had and I got Oreo’s.
Me and my new companion, well I guess he’s not new, this is his 3rd week here. We get along really well. He’s really great and is teaching me lots. I’m getting really lucky. I wonder when my luck will run out and I’ll get a REAL piece of crap companion. Ugh, hopefully, it’s far in the future when I’m more patient and can deal with it better.
I love you all so much. Thanks for your letters and pictures.
Love, Elder Profaizer
Dear Sarah
Hey you, I’m so glad to be able to send you a quick note. Thank you so much for that recorder. It was the best thing EVER!!! I loved hearing your voice. It made my whole week, well longer than that. I’m going to try to record something so I can send it next week so you will hopefully get something before you are gone to the other side of the world. I hope you get it in time. I love you lots,
Love, Elder Profaizer
