I was sick yesterday!

Hey everyone!
This past week was alright. I was sick yesterday, but im all good now. We had district meeting in the morning yesterday and my stomach hurt but i thought it was because i hadnt eaten. We came back to the apartment after the meeting and i almost threw up but we decided to head out anyway. We came back for lunch and right when i got off the bike i threw up, Choco Kong cereal all over the front yard. It was just as chocolaty the second time. Yesterday stunk though, my body was super achy and weak. But im much better now. Oh and it turns out i am district leader! They divided the old district into 2. So thats cool. We only have one baptismal date so far. We just got to work on getting him to church. We also have some other people that we have been working with.  Ponce has been good though. Its the 2nd largest city in Puerto Rico. And we work in the central part of it. It has been pretty different than the last areas that i was in, because im in a different zone and we ride bikes. I dont have the address for the apartment, but i will send some pictures soon. I dont really need anything right now, and my contacts are still good they should last until i get home. Keep me posted on sports and how the BYU stuff is going. I love you all a bunch.

Im in Ponce

Hey everyone!!

Transfers were today and i got transfered to Ponce. I dont have a car anymore, we got bikes and we are walking. Im super excited though! Im not distict leader anymore. My companion is Elder Kenison from Utah. Thanks for researching the school stuff for me. I want to try and get school going as soon as possible.

Some Pics!

Hey everyone!!!!

Thanks for your emails and stuff, its always good to hear from everyone. I attached 2 pictures, one of a waterfall in El Yunque and the 2nd one is a puertorican parranda. President arranged all that for our Christmas party. It was super sweet! This past week was alright, Sunday we only had 2 investigators in chruch, which was a bummer cause we were expecting 11. Thanks for updating me on college football. That's awesome that BSU destroyed Utah. Well, i hope all is well with everyone i will keep you in my prayers!! Amber and Brandon, sounds like Disneyland was sweet, im sure the girls loved it. On the BYU situation, just let me know what happens with my transcript and see when i need to have everything done by so i can get in for the fall semester. Well, everything is chill here, we're going to be playing ball later so im excited for that. We also have another leadership meeting today and tomorrow, it should be good. I love yall a bunch. Talk to you next week!!

2011!!

Hey everyone!!

This past week was good. We had a less active family come to church on sunday. They have a son that needs to be baptized so we have been working with them. But none of our other investigators came to church, that was kind of a bummer. So yesterday we had our interviews with president. Im going to be staying here in Guayama this next transfer with the same companion. We also talked about something that the group that i came out with and i will be doing at the end of our missions. So, my coming home date has changed from the 25th of May to the 18th of June. We are all going to extend 4 extra weeks. We are basically all going to be together the last 10 weeks in the same area. And we are just going to tear it up in there. Everyone in our group has been leaders so im super excited for it. And the 18th is a Saturday so that will be a little wierd but it will have to work. Also, i wanted to check with yall to make sure it was alright i dont know if you had any specific plans or anything. Let me know. Also Brandon, hook me up with some info on BYU!!!! I give you permission. ha ha. I love you all so much! Stay classy!

Feliz Nuevo Ano

Hey everyone,
So, this past week was sweet! It was great talking to everyone and also getting all the packages for Christmas. This week was actually pretty as far as the preaching of the gospel goes. We set a few baptismal dates, but on Sunday we didn't have any investigators in church. Which was kind of a bummer but we still have a ton more potentials as well. So i think we will be having quite a few baptisms coming in the future. We are reactivating a family who seems pretty cool. And one of them hasn't been baptized yet. So everything is going good here. Our apartment has been falling apart recently. Our washing machine broke today and our air conditioning broke as well. At least we still have our car though. So, did yall ever find out any more information about BYU? Maybe i could get into the summer semester or fall. I dont know, get me some info. on when my application needs to be in. Well, i love yall a bunch! Have a great new year!!

Navidad

Everyone!!!

Thanks for your emails and i did get the packages. Im in the mission office right now. This day has been crazy fun! We woke up at 4 in the morning and we have been doing tons of stuff all day. We went to El Yunque which is a rain forest in puerto rico. And we hiked around in there and there was like waterfalls and stuff it was way sweet. Then after that we went and did like a spontaneous choir in a mall. We were like eating and stuff and when we finished we got up spontaneously singing, all 200 and something of us. Then we came back here and played some basketball. Tomorrow we are going to do some more activities. But ill talk to yall on saturday. By the way you guys can just go ahead and call me at 4. Because we were told we could do that. So here's our number 787-553-4471. Cant wait to hear from you! I love you all and Merry Christmas!!!!
