We didn't get to email Ty because he told us he would be talking to us on Tuesday. Well, he surprised us and emailed and called on Monday instead.
Hey Everyone,
I know I told everyone that my p-day would be tomorrow
because of transfers, but we had some last minute changes. I ended up with the
zone leader today while my trainer went to his new area and so we had some time
to call. I am getting a new companion later today. His name is Elder Jordan. He
is from somewhere in Utah, and he is going to be the district leader. I’ve been
working hard trying to learn our area so I can help him adjust here. Elder
Arnold was a great trainer. I will miss him.
This week was definitely better than last week. We did a
lot of walking again, but this time we met a ton of new contacts and we have
been teaching some awesome people. On March 28th our friend Jose Angel
will be baptized. He is 23 years old and is the boyfriend of one the ward
members here. She basically laid the law down to him and told him she wouldn’t
marry him unless he was a member of the church. He has been taking the
discussions and has been to church the past four weeks. One cool thing that
happened with Jose is when we taught him about the first vision. We usually get
a negative reaction when we teach the first vision to people, but Jose got
really excited and said that this was a huge blessing because now we finally
know which church is true. I felt the Spirit so strong when he said this and it
made me really happy.
We are also teaching an 11 year old and 13 year old. Their
parents are members but have not been active in the church for a long time.
Well, they have started coming again so they want us to teach their kids. We
have a great ward here. I’m afraid I’m going to get fat though. Every time we
go to a member’s house they serve us Inca Cola. Everyone here drinks Inca Cola
and all of their teeth are rotten. The other day I had Inca Cola five different
times. I’m going to have to start telling them no before my teeth fall out.
Inca Cola isn’t really cola. It tastes like bubble gum haha.
Mission life is hard and the days are long but I decided
the long days just give me more time to learn Spanish haha. Thanks everyone for
your support. I hope everyone is doing good. Love you all.

PS. Ty sounded really good today. I could definitely hear
the confidence and courage in his voice. He spoke excitedly about his mission
experiences and the people they are teaching. I am amazed at the growth he has
already experienced. He is sounding more confident with his Spanish, and the
anxiety he expressed last week wasn't there today. My prayers for him are
definitely being answered.
