  Hola a todos! I don't know why I did that but I feel like everyones emails I read starts with something in Spanish so there ya go. This week was pretty fire to be honest. So lets get started...Im going to keep it short to so stick with me. Zone Conference This week we had zone conference and it was nice to hang with the boys again. Talked to Elder Baker there but that low key took up the whole day I think so not much else happened there.  Fire Exchange I went on an exchange with Elder Bodell and that was sooo fire. A morale boost that was well needed. It made me realize how fun missionary work can be if personalities click and you just have fun with it. We ended up making 6 friends that day and had a ton of fun while doing it. Wish I was comps with him but he is English so that def wont happen...Anywaysss it was hype Floods... Apparently the rain has been cooking this year. A bunch of people are being advised to evacuate because the river is sooo high and is about to fl...

  Alright so sorry for not writing last week. To be honest I probably should have bacuse it was pretty eventful but it's all good. Im gonna keep this one short tho because i don't want to type forever. Thanksgiving... It's kind of sad I'm just now talking about Thanksgiving but it was good. Got to talk to fam, and we had a ward dinner that night...fiestaaa! Then on that Saturday we had another Thanksgiving dinner with a English family and all their family so that was nice. Weird on the mission but its all good. Spanish/Work Bad news, our on date is most likely going to get dropped unless he actually meets with us tonight. The work hasn't been anything special. People here can't keep a single commitment so we never get an answer on the return appointment. It's all good though we still grinding. Spanish is coming along...still pretty slowly. I'm at the point where if I did get a training call next transfer I think I could do it, like in terms of  getting a...

Transfers

  Alright sorry for writing this email late. This past week just flew by and it's because we had Elder Wada of the Seventy come and do a mission tour so 3 days of the week were pretty much spent just listening to him but I loved it. This also means we didn't do a lot of missionary work but it's alright. This week we won't do a ton either though because of Thanksgiving and transfers. Transfers Super horrible news...Elder Baker is being transferred to Seattle. It is actually so depressing because I did everything with him this transfer. Good news however is I did not get transferred and I still have my same trainer and Elder Bodell is also staying here. P-Day Great p-day this week. We played golf, bowling, and a lot of football. It felt so good to run some routes and throw a football around. I actuallly miss it so much. We also had a member meal and they fed 8 missionaries so that was fun cuz all my boys were there.  Spanish/Talk So I gave my first talk in Spanish. I'...

   Alright yall... go ahead and flame me for not writing an email last week but my mom already did so it won't do much good haha. Anyway let's get into shall we. I can't believe I have already hit a month in Seattle.  Heck ya boys you love to see it. The work overall isn't going the greatest but we trying our best out here. I know technically this email should be long cuz I haven't written in two weeks but I'm going try to keep it short cuz I don't enjoy writing emails for over 30 minutes.  Exchanges I went on two exchanges and it's kinda funny to see how English days look and let me tell ya, they aren't as productive as us Español boys out here haha. Nah for real tho it was good but everyone kept asking me why I don't have bedsheets and I would just say... Idk just haven't got any yet but apparently my mom informed me today that I've had them in my suitcase this whole time and I almost went a whole transfer without them so I will be bust...

  Gang Gang I guess. Apparently my family thinks I speak and sound like a gangster so thats new, haven't got that one before. But anywaysss, whats up y'all, hope you are all doing good because I am. I'm not even gonna lie this week went by so fast. Friends Yes sirrrr! Your boy here made 9 friends this week!  Sheesh we be cooking out here. It isn't crazy  numbers but compared to the one friend we made last week I will take anything we can get. Plus since we only look for Spanish speakers it makes it that much harder.  It was really cool to see the success we had after having a very unsuccessful week.  I don't know how solid any of them will be but hey, its the effort that counts, we can't force them into anything.  Todays miracle! Today was a long p day and was kinda mid. We had a zoom meeting with the whole mission for an hour and a half this morning and then we went shopping. After that we spent the rest of the day at the church... literally. I played 3 1v...

    Here we go again, I guess. I will keep this one shorter because I don't feel like writing an email for 30 minutes again lol. This week was fast and slow at the same time. Some days were extremely slow but some days were super fun. We had hardly any success this week and struggled to get anyone to open their doors so that's unfortunate but I had a lot of interesting experiences as well so that's pretty chill.  Ok first off, the week started off so fuego. We had a new missionary orientation in Bellevue which was like 4 hours long but it was cool to catch up with all the guys I flew here with. Buttttt on the way home we drove through Seattle and it was so awesome. I couldn't stop smiling for some reason and I was just so happy to be here and that I am able to serve the Lord for two years. Ha, that didn't last long lol.  Thursday was the slowest day ever! For some reason I was pretty tired and just wanted to sleep all day but obviously that isn't an option. We k...
