Well
Saint George is really awesome and I love it down here. So just the
other day we had a zone meeting about the number for last month and our
goals for this month which took about 4 hours of my life. Anyways after
this meeting my companion Elder Day and I had to talk to one of the
Brothers in the mission office about getting own new phone and as We
walked in there the lady at the desk looked at me and said, " Oh good
your visa is here." Finalmente está aquí!!! She said she would
hold the paper work at the office for me until I was closer to leaving,
but I have to drive to Las Vegas sometime in the next two weeks to go to
the Mexican Consulate. Apparently that's all I really had to do to get
my visa because if I would have went earlier my visa would have got here
a lot faster. Crazy huh. I think I leave for Mexico on October 14 which
is Isaiah's birthday so that will be fun. I'm learning a lot here which
is good because it will help me before I go to Mexico and My trainer is
so awesome he has told me so much and helped me to prepare myself for a
ton of things that are out in the mission field. The past few days
there was a massive fire in the mountains up here and it was pretty big
I've got some pictures of it. Yesterday was a good day because we had a
broadcast from BYU for all of southern Utah and it was great and really
funny. Mom sister Tylor contacted you the other day by sending pictures
right? Anyways so yesterday we were talking at dinner about how her son
had Facebook on his mission and then my companion said, " I'm going to
be completely honest with you we looked you up before you got here
because I was worried I was going to get another weirdo for my comp and I
wanted to know if you were normal or not." I was like really. It was
pretty funny and this family is really awesome and man does she know how
to cook. The food has been so good now that I'm finally out of the MTC
prison food haha. Jace emailed me the other day I was worried because
his email was on my other account, but that's when I got an email from
him it was great. Funny story time so last Monday night I had dinner and
a members house and it was normal shared a quick little message and
then that was it right. Well I got an email from Maddie and she said I
just had dinner at her best friends house and they have been friends
since elementary school. What are the odds right? Elder Day thought it
was pretty funny and got a kick out of it. Another night when we had
dinner at another members house the husband was from Mexico and he
started telling a whole lot about what to expect and some friendly tips
to help me when I get down there. I can't wait the excitement is killing
me. During one of our lessons with one of our investigators he told me I
need to pack some heat and carry a machete so that no one would bother
me. A lot of people have told me try to blend in and don't have fancy
things that would attract someone's gaze, but that is going to be really
hard for a 6ft 4in pasty white kid from America to do. Well hope I can
hear from you soon love you all
