Dad and Mom,
Last week we had a meeting and told us that our mission will be going back into one mission July 1st. It'll will be in the news March. So how nice of the president and 12 to create a mission just for me and then close it down right after I leave...rock on. No really there trying to focus on the stakes and make them stronger..and they're taking away Barbados, it's going to the Santo Domingo Mission I think.
Well gators...we've got Lola still set for the 13th of feb. We're workin with her on reading everyday and gaining a testimony. It'll be good. We've just gotta be one set ahead of the game.
Oh by the way if you want to send that sim card so I can send mine, it's not full but I know you guys are just itching for new pic's of me... i know i know you all miss me. It's ok i've got 3 more transfers you guys can last that long....can't you?
Did I tell you I gave a talk a couple weeks ago?? it was on blessings from living the gospel and church standards. It was cool. My comp said I did good!
Just trying our best and different ways to find gators to BAPTIZE!! I love you all so much! It's been a long hard 2 transfers and I thank you so much for your help and love!! when I'm surrounded by great people it really helps me pull through and alot of prayer! The spanish is going good, it depends on who I'm talking to. Some say it's good and some think I'm talking English......ouch that hurts. But I'm just still working on it!
Much love!

Elder Bednar's visit
Familia
The HIGHLIGHT of last week was that Elder David A Bednar talked to us missionaries here in Puerto Rico! It was great! The first thing that happened when he walked into the room and my eyes filled with tears. Tears of comfort and joy and peace!! WOW indescribable!
The conference was just awesome...it's weird but ever since he was called as a 12 I've always felt something for him...as if he would cross my path one day. He was serious and funny and knew excatly what to say. It was more of like an open question thing...they gave us talks from him to study 2 weeks before then he told us that it was an open floor to ask questions that we might have! He said study up about the creation and how the world was made by the priesthood... then he said for example God said there is matter unorganized let us go down, Haiti is matter unorganized and through the power of the preisthood it will be organize...it was really something to be in his presence. He has a true respect about agency and the power to choose and prayer and faith...I could go on and on but really trust me it was AWESOME!!! Once and a lifetime thing for sure!!
My spanish is getting better. I am loving it here.
But I love you all and I'm grateful for your love and support!!!

Getting settled in Fajardo
Yes I'm alive and well!!! I love it here! I'm back and I'm gonna kick butt!! Yes hna Warwood and Fajardo. It's great. People have been tellin me that I have great Spanish...really that's not my problem...it's hearing what there saying sometimes is what gets me. But it's great here I love it!
Gators we have a few... Sunny and Rosa who live next door and sis Warwood said that they truly felt the spirit when they first taught them.
I love it here...and tu sabe que...alot of people speak English..hahaha I LOVE teaching in both.
It felt weird to start contacting in Spanish again, but really a piece of my heart was left here when I went to the islands and now it's back but now a piece is in Barbados...funny how that works.
