Letter 3

Hola Familia!
I hope all is well! It sounds like it is. Everthing is well here. We just got back froom our weekly temple session and our weekly trip to the local comedor to buy our Alfajores... Alfajores are our equivalent to hHostess cupcakes(but so much better). I´ll have to send some home for christmas our something. Our latino missionaries and fellow missionaries(same mission) left for their missions. It was kind of a sad day, but we knew we would all see eachother again in the missionfield, and later on in the next life for the Latinos. We got a whole other shipment of missionaries today from all over the place. One I thought I recognized bc i have seen him before, he´s elder bates and he went to heritage.Anyways last saturday we went proselyting to the same areas. We couldnt find Daniel, the young man we gave a LDM(BOM) to the previous week. It was a hard day. Full of rejections, No tiempo, otro tiempo... so we circled our area a few times and then just decided to pray. We had about 30 mins left and we were getting really restless and desperate to fulfill our goal. We prayed at a street corner and asked if we could have at least 2 more contacts. We got 5 altogether. It was really cool. The last one was a young man that was walking up to us as if he really wanted to know what we were about, he did. It was a way cool experience to testify to him about the LDM and about Jose Smith and our living profeta. We get to go proselyting this saturday for 7 horas!!! I received a letter from Bishop last night and one dearelder.com from Gma and Gpa Stapley this morning. Thank you so much for the letters, I look forward to them all the time. My district and I are super close! we do everything together and we joke and have fun. We are also, more importantly, very strong spritually. I have a new frase or motto that I say alot, LIVE what you believe and love, TESTIFY what you live and love!!! I have come to find that testifying is the MOST important thing you can do here! Especially when we havent gotten the lessons down packed. Last sunday we took pictures with our latino amigos and other elders. I am going to try and attach some to this email but these computers here are a bit difficult. Yes, even I with my infinite knowledge of computers find it hard to figure them out. I was thinking about you all on sunday, because I thought that was when you would be doing blessings for school... it almost felt like I was there. Well I will have more to talk about next week with 7 horas of proselyting.
Os AMO mucho y Os extraño mucho,Elder Stapley
Ps. the pictures wont attach... I will try again next time...
