December 14, 2011

Can you believe this haha 12-14-11 what the freak... So just to start out I remember last year my buddies were sending emails back and forth between each other and I read some that was talking about how most of them would be home this year... It's here and I cant believe it :) What a great time to be a missionary... sorry suckas ;)

So BIG news.... I will be staying another transfer with Elder Dantas. Transfers are an interesting time as a missionary.. It's a time of deciding and acting. I have been kind of down a couple weeks in a row because of work. But hey I gotta get back into the attitude " It's not two years yet... or even one. It's time to finish strong" Im ready for the challenge this transfer and we have good things to look forward too. Our whole apartment is staying together another one which im happy about. 

I went on a tour with Elder Mac who is my DL. He is serving in a English area and it was super nice to talk to Americans and to just work English for a bit. ( super weird to say because English is usually super hard state side) And I re-gained my desire to work out and become ripped before coming home. 

Elder Dantas and I have some great plans to find these pesky Brazilians... we are going to play soccer with them weekly and well tract the freak out of these streets until I can say...." I did work" haha we had a great planning session and well were doing it.

Well all at home seems to be going well.. Thank you for all your emails!! I don't know about you but Im super stoked to talk to you on Christmas... We will only be having Sacrament as well but we can't tell the Branch because Hispanics celebrate Christmas on the 24th and it usually goes pretty late... so if we tell them only sacrament no one will come hahahaha so we told them all meetings and then at Church break the news that it is only the first hour.

Today we played some Intense B-ball before emailing it was super exciting. I can't help it I love basketball!!

Well that is all for this week I love you all and thank you for the letter/emails I'll be sending some Christmas Cards this week so be looking for them ;) thank you
