October 13, 2014 Week 66

Bueno Bueno

Wow what a week!!! 

So I will just get straight to the crazy news! 

So on Saturday we were having our comp study and President called and said that he was on his way to Wichita Falls to drop off Elder Rodriguez's stuff! 

1. clean the apartment 

2. what is happening!!!!? 

So we cleaned the apartment super quick and President came and gave us some early transfer doctrine! 

Both Elder Karr and Elder Palmer are leaving and in their place Elder BARRETT and Elder RODRIGUEZ, they are going to be my new comps! haha... if you remember Elder Barret was my mtc comp! and Elder Rodriguez is an awesome elder! The crazy thing is that on my first day of the mission field Elder Rodriguez took Elder Barrett and I tracting for the first time! WE joked about being companions together!...well it must have been a prophecy!!!  It is going to be Elder Barrett and me for the first 2 weeks.  Then Elder Rodriguez is going to come... he has to get his visa figured out!

IT is going to be pretty crazy! we have a huge area (more then half of Wichita Falls!) I am still trying to figure out how to get around!  But I guess we will just have to find new people to teach if we can't find the old ones! Thats alright this area could use a deep clean!

This past week was great!  The weather finally took a dip and we are enjoying some fall weather! This past week I had the opportunity to give 2 baptismal interviews! They were very different! One was a 9 year old  and the other was a 70 year old! ha They were both interesting... some highlights-- the 9 year old remembering what the law of Chastity was... haha and then the 70 year old was a black Vietnam vet! He wanted to share all of his stories and I really would have wanted to hear all of them if it wasn't 8:45 at night! It is awesome to hear the conversion of others no matter what the age is!! SO share your story! 

Sorry for the short letter! It will be longer next week!! 

LOVE YA
