So I did have pday yesterday but because it was labor day the library was closed so they gave us a little bit of time today to write. I am glad my ward mission leader called he is a nice guy. He is pretty young and served in santa maria in 05 so we talk about tri-tip all the time haha.
Mom my mission president has no clue what is going on so he doesn't know. But I guess they needed a criminal record from me and I had to get fingerprinted in order for them to pass my VISA. So it was just a funny sight seeing three missionaries walk out of the police station fingerprinted haha.
This week was transferes like I said I probably won't be getting transfered from this area. They do transfer visa waiters but by the sounds of my mission president it doesn't sound like he wants to move me anywhere. But I like it here it feels like home.. its pretty ghetto too haha. My trainer did get transfered and she was a lot different then my new companion now. Its like night and day. And I was pretty brain washed by my what my trainer did cz I didn't know any better so it will take some time getting used to my new companion. But I guess we can always learn from different people.
Because I didn't know what I was doing with the fingerprinting stuff I went to a members house for help. She is the member whose husband is from Honduras but isn't baptized yet. They feel like family they new all the stuff for immigration haha..but they took us to this really hispanic store bcz I wanted sweet bread and I got to talk to this guy there about church in spanish. For some reason I feel more comfortable approaching hispanics because they are more open about the gospel. He was a sweet guy and hopefully we can see him again although I don't know how we would teach him haha.
Well its starting to cool off here, although it was pretty hot this past week. Some members have told me that I can wear there daughters winter clothes if I am still here so that I don't have to go buy some. They are so great! A funny story that happened this week was we were door knocking and this sweet guy let us in to teach him and he seemed kinda of special but he lived on his own so he knew what we were saying. He said he felt good about the things we were teaching and he would go to church and be baptized so we were super excited leaving his house. Then like 10 mins later we were walking back to our car and he came up to us and said he called his mom and he can't go to our church. Sad. He was a sweet guy and we let him keep the book of mormon. But in a matter of 10 mins we had a new investigator with a baptisimal date and then we got dropped. Thats probably a record haha.
Well I am excited for this transfer I see a lot of good things happening. On Sunday our ward mission leader had us misisonaries over but bcz dinner wasn't done he sent us to the church because it was the 2nd counseler going away party. So we went to find new investigators and what not. But I saw this family that the elders have been teaching and I got too excited and I just talked to them the whole time haha my companions gave me a hard time for it but I did get an address to visit a less-active so I didn't feel that bad. and the Elders gave me tennis rackets that they had in their apartments so I am excited about that I will have to go play tennis before it gets cold... :)
Well thank you for ALL of your letters and encouraging words. Te amo!!
