Dear Family

Dear Family,

Wow this week has flown past. I really can't believe it! Well, this week was a little bit of a bummer when we got the numbers of the zone yesterday. The most important thing to me is that my zone goes up. However, there are three sectors that are on the floor because they are old missionaries that are prideful and don't want to learn. You can't teach an old dog new tricks especially when they just don't give a dang about their mission. It makes me wonder why they don't just go home if they don't want to work. God sure as heck isn't happy with them not working. God has literally put all his trust in us to share the gospel but they don't get that or something. Oh well, we gotta make some big changes here. We're going to throw down three interchanges this week and today I spent my whole p-day morning revising houses and they are trashed, wow! Oh well, God is blessing us with being able to talk to the missionaries with love so they don't just up and stop working totally. It's a fine line between getting after them and still being loving so they still love. We called the assistants today and asked advice. They gave us some points so we will do that tomorrow in the district meeting. I'm so happy to be here. I'm so stoked to be a missionary. I'm learning so much how to be a real representative of Christ.

Gladys Gutierrez is my convert:) She is so amazing and she is the mom of the Ponce family. Gosh I miss them so much. Tell her I love her so much and that I really miss Ramon and her kids:)

Also, No, I am not writing to Colton. I can't e-mail him. Just make sure he knows that I can't break a single rule being zone leader. We have to be perfect examples to the other missionaries and if I want God to bless my sector with converts, I have to obey.

I love you all so much:) Happy Halloween. I'll probably carve a watermelon or something.

Love,

Elder Profaizer
