hey everyone. ya i know its been awhile again. hah its kinda hard to write big long public letters anymore. but i miss you all a ton and i am doing good. still in the same area. have a new companion Elder Pineda. we get along well hes actually my friend and we are getting it done. life is good. i miss home a bit. but thats ok. i talked to my family on the phone on mothers day and that was way nice. im gonna hit 6 months on june 15th in my mission! how crazy is that! i cant believe how fast its gone! anyways. we got about 3 people who seem like theyre gonna listen to us. Gaby our landlord, Cesar, who is diabetic and has to take seriously if hes going to live or not, and also Saida. i have a good feeling about them. please pray for them they need it! we need as much help as we can get. i am learning to really use the spirit when i am teaching. its been really cool to learn more and more each day. its amazing how much you learn through the spirit just teaching. we think as missionaries that we are doing God a favor but its really him doing US a favor. its been really good lately. hah also ive had like 3 girls ask if i liked them now. haha all i can say is well, no im a missionary. its kinda awkward cuz i dont have interest in them like that haha, but they think that my interest in them as in care for them as a missionary is really me liking them. haha it gets frustrating and kinda awkwardly funny too. i guess the mexican girls dont see to many white boys with blue eyes. i cant tell you how many comments i get on my eyes. haha. anyways. its all good down here. learning a lot and really learning the Lords love for everyone. i cant believe how much ive had help from the Lord in my spanish. i was senior companion for a day in divisions with another Elder and i really learned that day on how to rely on the spirit. it was way cool. im amazed at how much the Lord loves every single one of us as imperfect as we are. i am also really learning love for every single person in the street. that every single one of them now matter how much money they have or how crazy they are He loves them. its hard to leave investigators for me. i really am starting to love people so much. ive learned you can love people even if you have differences. Im also starting to be able to be myself in spanish so thats nice. its good to be personable. like it says in the bible. Paul became of the Jews to be able to teach the Jews. i really liked that. really become like the people to help them open up and listen to your message. im really loving the mission. and starting to understand a little .0005 of the nature of God and His love for his children. anyways. i love all you guys a ton. and miss you. ill be back before you know it ok?! specifically Jade, i am going to write you when i get a chance! and also Katie, i emailed you on your byu address so i hope you got that! if not let me know in a dear elder or something! ok i miss you all. and hope all is well!
love
Elder Day
