Hey Everyone! ¡Feliz Navidad!

E-mail from November 7th!

hey its going good here!  my greeny is cool. yanno.... green. gosh i know the definition of greeny is now.  friggin fresh out of the MTC rule bashers! freak! haha. but its ok. his name is Elder Arroyo, and hes from Lima, Peru, in south america! its pretty crazy huh!?  but I'm definitely having to learn the skill of having patience and love.  he drives me a little nuts how hes so worried all the time. and the culture from where hes from is just weird.  but ya its going good. a lot of responsibility though that's for sure.  but its good. i really love the feeling that the Lord trusts me to train.  i had to go to Torreon which is really far to get capacitated, and president Flores says that the trainer is the biggest responsibility in the mission, then district leader, then assistant, then zone leader.  pretty nuts huh? he told us the presidency of the church has changed that up. so i feel honored, just a little stressed that' for sure!  but its ok. anyways im learning patience, and also my companion has a pride problem.  so do i. imagine that. i think that God wants me to learn something here huh? hahahaha. so ya. im really realizing that i just have so friggin' much to improve.  the spirit has given me a list of things i can do better. so im working on that a lot. its definitely a humbling expierience to be a trainer.  anyways. hows the house. hows life. hows jed?  i miss you a ton. coming up on a year! time is flying.  haha well i love you! and i gotta go. but tell everyone hi and i love them. i have pictures coming next week!

love

once again i dont have much time right now so im only going to be able to write you guys this week... but its been good here. i got my trainee.  hes cool. way green.  worries a lot but thats ok. hes from Peru.  the culture is really different down there in some things so he kinda drives me nuts in a few catogories. especially that they are super touchy feely down there i guess. and hes always touching me and like i know hes not gay. im certain. but he definitely seems it still. haha.  but ya.   also he kinda annoyed me the other night when we talked about looking at girls and stuff in the streets and he was like giving me crap how we have to be pure and everything.  oh my goodness. i didnt realize how naieve i was when i got to the mission.  freak. but hes cool. way cool. weve had some good experiences.  but everything is going good here.  anyways. want you guys to know i looked for the mattress cover and they arent here in walmart or sams club. so that kinda sucks. anyways.  i gotta go. love you guys i gotta go.  i miss you tons and love you tons. ill talk to you soon ok?  love you!
