Dear Family,
Well 1st off happy belated birthday and Happy Memorial weekend to all of
you guys too. Let Grandma and Grandpa Mangum I got their letter and I really
enjoyed it. Glad to have your guys support too, it has been a hard transfer but
only one more week and I have made it through. So glad to hear everyone will
basically be busy during the Summer, espescially Spencer lol. And dad keep
practicing the Portugues you will remember it all again. Actually this kid that
is sitting next to me stareted speaking to me and I understood it and spoke back
and he didn´t laugh at mine and he understood mine too. So it was really weird
but yet so natural. English still has its bumps and Anderson keeps that in mind
lol. Anyways he is doing better, had a rough time with Melo but I think we all
learned to love him in some way. We also made gaggys like ever week ,so i AM OUT
OF PEANUT BUTTER BUT IT WAS WOrth it just to get through the transfer. Anderson
is having a lot of 1st on the mission, 1st break up, 1st dying and really
fubecka missionary, and he is still here. He wants to go home but at the same
time he doesn´t. I am at the point where I don´t think I am ever going home so
just accept the fact I could be killing missionaries for my entire mission. Get
ready for some fun Spencer lol, but always remember you can pray and read the
scriptures, they help pass the time and reall strengthen you.
So Elder Wilson and I have an investigator who has already recieved an
answer, a dream even, and still doesn´t feel ready to be baptized. We don´t know
how to help understand that she needs to be because she wants to just wants to
wait. And we explained to her already the importance of baptism, she has friends
in the church, and even church talked about doing things based off the spirit
now not later. So... I guess this week is to really push a date and hopefully
this satureday and be confirmed sunday. So ya wish me luck and lots of prayes
too.
I am really grateful for your guys emails and letters. They are very
important too me and love it when you guys put humor and stories and it really
brightens my week. Thank you dad for the little updates on sports, gives me a
smile, and Mom your stories of the family are the best. I am currently in Alma
chapter 9 and should be and chapter 11 or 12 tonight. I am a little behind
becasue I had the cold or flu or something, but I am gettting better I don´t
know why I keep getting sick. I try to drink lots of water and those vitamin
pills and more fruits and vegitables but ya... maybe teaching me humlity and ask
more blessing in my life and rely on others. I don´t do tha a lot. I really try
to only rely on myself but Anderson has really taught me to rely on my leaders
whenever possible because if I don´t want to keep killing missionaries they will
help me ´´move up´´ in the mission. So hopefully I will be doing something else
than killing on the mission.
Oh so I bought a coupe of nice futebol shirst and a hammock. So I am
finally starting on my collection of stuff lol. So ya I guess I need a bigger
suit case I won´t be able to bring 3 pillows whereever I go. You have to
sacrifice so much on the mission like a pillow or two just to have some really
cool stuff lol. Well I will let you guys know next week where I will be and who
will be my new companion. Almost 9 months ( Elder Anderson does a good job
counting lol he is kinda trunky cause of all the dying missionaries in the zone
7 or 8 missionaries will be dying... it is so exciting.)
Se amo
