hey mom
well things are going AWESOME!! but im feeling old, all the zone leaders have a special meeting once every change, its called Zone leader council. and all the ZLs get together and talk about how to fix the mission and make it better, man, it felt like high school gradutation becuase most of the ZLs are from the group that came with me and they are leaving with me, one half of all the mission laedership is going home this change and with this special meetign you see all the ZLs so it was probably the last time we were going to see eachother cuz we all go back to our distinct zones and dont see the other zones very often. wow was that a trunky meeting. im sending you a pic. from left to right the elders are Elder Aguirre from Tijuana Mexico, Elder Rodriguez from Chiuaua Mexico, Elder Goode from Utah (dont know what part, by idaho), ELder Felt from SLC, Elder Bartolomei from Manteca CA (right up the road!!) Elder Williams from Idaho Falls Elder Adamson from Preston Utah, ELder Estrada from Bogotá colombia, me, and Elder Walke from Texas. and we are the zone leaders that are going home. there is one more named elder smith from utah but he had to go so he wasnt with us in the pic. in this meeting, those that are going home bare there testimonies about the mission and every single one of us cried like a baby. it was kinda funny. President Gamboa said that it was the first time that had ever happened.
the other pic is of me and my comp and elder hall (he lives with us hes from canada) my new comps name is Elder Romero and he is the elder that i asked for (wooohooo!!!) and things are going great with him. we put like 5 baptismal dates this week and are goig to have 2 baptisms this weekend. so things are going really good. he just hit 9 months here. well my last few weeks i want to have like 8 baptisms. but a few special ones. there are some people here that have listend to the missionaies like a million times but havnt gotten baptized even tho they go to church regularly, yeah i wanna baptize them. people like that are my specialty, that and Jehovas Whitnesses or as they say in spanish "Testigos de Jehová" so i wanna get them into the water. and just work really hard, cuz the majority of missionaries when they finish start to slack off, so im trying hard to not do that. im gonna be teaching lessons until the very last day. i dont really care if i have a bunch of baptisms this last transfer, i just wanna work hard and if i have to, leave a lot of baptisms for my comp and his new comp that will come. but i am going to have a going home party my last week. tahts for sure.
nobody told me that trish had a miscarriage?? when? why did it happen? will they be able to have children or was this just a one time thing? tell them i say im sorry and that they will have a lot of babies.
oh yeah heidi told me that once in a letter, she said "everyone here knows about you. " haha. so sister frye is now "marks sister" haha. its funny that christine and heidi are in the same mission. heidi is doing great. she writes me every week. youre a ward missionary now! awesome we can practice when i go home now.
thanks for the pics. looks like you had fun. sarah is soooooooo talllllllll!!!!!! holy bat-caves. she easily passes christine now. and heidi too probably. christine sounds good. thats good, the mission isnt easy by any means but i can see that she has a good attitude about it so it will go alot easier for her.
well im doing good, ill be home in 5 week. cant believe it…. cant believe it…. but dont worry im sprinting the last leg of the race.
