06/30/10
Hey everyone,

So im all settled in to Puerto Rico! Everything is going well here we have 2 baptisms coming up the 18th of july. My companion is Elder Mata'utia, hes from Samoa. The members here are great and its good to be speaking spanish again. The distict leader thing is not entirely new, i have been district leader for the past 7 months now. Just in 3 different areas. It is a different apartment than before, each area has its own apartment. Also, we have a new mission president, President Alvarado. I havent met him yet but we might be having a meeting with the whole mission in a couple weeks or so. Thanks for the pictures you sent, Brooklyn and Ashlyn look so big! Tell Brooklyn happy birthday for me!! I havent heard back from Jordan yet. And dad have you been able to get the missionaries to meet with Patricia yet? Well, i love you all so much! Keep the emails coming!

Hello everyone!!

This has been an interesting week so far. Yesterday my companion and i went to the house of one of our investigators for an appointment. My companion went to pet his dog who was tied to the front porch of his house. I stayed back, because i dont pet dogs, let me tell you why.. My comp is petting the dog and a guy is walking by and says to him, "Hey, dont pet that dog man it will bite you!!" Elder Schmutz looks away toward the guy and when he looks back the dog lunges to bite him. It latched on to his wrist and he tried to pull away but it was on there good. He finally pulls away from it and i come running up to him, "Elder! are you ok!" I look at his wrist and blood is pouring out of two holes in his wrist. I havent seen that much blood in a while. Hes going to be fine we got some instructions from Sis. Dewsnup and hes good to go. But that is why we dont pet dogs, i dont think he'll be petting them any time soon. So thats the story of the week! And this weekend we will have 2 baptisms and the sunday after that we will have 3 more!! I should be getting the packages you sent me at zone conference the 11th of june. Well, tell Kim congratulations on the wedding thing. Please, forward this to Jordan too. I love guys so much thanks for the emails all the time!
