Elder J

Hello father... ha

This has been a wild week. I dont know where to start, so here goes nothing!

Elder J came and everything has changed. The apartment looks like a bomb hit it... well that bomb was Elder J, hoenstly the messiest person i have ever met. Believe it or not, i am actually very clean, and not messy now, so it is driving me insane. But regardless of the random remarks and the awkward situations, i do enjoy having Elder J here. We have a lot of work to do. His spanish is non-existant, and so i am doing my best to help him sit down and study... i know you have taught many add/adhd kids, now imagine trying to get a 21 year old to sit down and study! lol, this week we will be studying spanish togetther, my studies have been struggling as of late anyways.
But the problem of a trio companionship is that one of always left out/in that awkward spot, and right now that is elder A. I think i got him make or something in the last few days, and so hopefully i can straighten that out here soon.

The work is booming here! I thought i knew every hispanic in town, evidently last week there were 11 i didnt know. lol. We have a biggerand stronger teaching pool know, and i am really excited for our new family we are teaching. Please pray for them (carlos and Diana).

Gotta go computer is kicking me off! I love you thanks for everything

Mom,
What a crazy week it has been!

Well this was probably the most exciting/random/stressful/successful week of my mission. We went to pensacola this week to pick up Elder J, and it hasnt been the same since. He is INSANE> in a good way... but it is so different than anything i have ever experienced. Since than i have been put in the most awkward moments of my life, where he says or does the dumbest thing ever, right in the middle of the lesson, i cant even describe it. I thinks it is hilarious, i will learn to enjoy being out of my own comfort zone... literally all day. I think it is taking it's toll on my other companion, elder A. I think he is annoyed with both of us, unfortunately. But i have seen a lot of progress in his spanish. My biggest goal for him will be to help his spanish and to destroy the contention in our companionship. It is weird going from my time with elder clements, who is my favorite comp so far and probably will be forever, where we were perfectly unified and taught amazingly together, to now where there is little contention and not much unity. That will be a lot of hard work to counter, but i am willing to do it.

This week, somehow the Lord used us to find 11 new investigators! That will probably be my mission record, it is a HUGE number. In that 11 new investigators, we started teaching a couple that elder clements and i met a long time ago. And they might be golden. Well as Elder J says, "everyone is golden until proven bronze." They are Carlos and Diana, both are from Miami, and he is in the army. We had one of the greatest 1st ever. It was a funny story because we planned to skim quickly over the restoration and talk about the plan of salvation for most of the lesson. Elder J was assigned to skim over the 1st, and like i said he is unpredicable... and when they told him he could speak in english (they both speak fluently... theyre both basically americans) jhe went crazy and honestly taught the most complete 1st lesson i have ever heard. IN the process, he mentioned a million things that gave them a million questions, and the next day (sunday) they invited us back and we taught them the book of mormon and committed them to pray about it.

Overall it was an incredible week.

I am having a blast and i love it here. There is a lot of work to do and i am excited to do it!

i love you and thanks for everything..
