Hello!

Well how is everyone doing? I'm doing great down here. I just finished my first week in Catàn and it's crazy! The zone is much larger and instead of 2 districts there are 4. I already love it here though.

Elder Pollock and I get along famously and we have great ideas hopes and aspirations for this excellent zone! We are going to have a theme this transfer, The NBA in Catán! Every area will be a team and for each lesson with member, baptismal date and new investigators points will be allotted.

Game nights are Friday and Wednesday when one area goes head to head against another. We are the Catán 3 Supersonics since they can´t decide where to go, we´ve decided that they're coming to catán. It's something to kind of break the day to day grind of the mission and I hope it catches on. This zone is the heart of the mission as it has the most elders and always does the best so I really am excited for the challenge and the responsibility!


There is lots of work to do out here. A lot more people listen but a lot less progress so we are always running from place to place. Maybe things will settle down a bit this week as it is week 2 of the transfer.

We had the ZL meeting yesterday in the Mission home! It was the first time I´ve seen carpet in a year! It was excellent. The new President is so inspired. It was very uplifting and constructive and elder pollock and I are very excited for this transfer!

There was a Brazilian Elder named Elder Lopez and I tried to learn as much portugeese from him as I could. Lets see Mike and Sean.... vocé e ediota or something like that! ou ten fome!

We also had a baptism on Saturday! Very spiritual and a great guy! I'm trying to get to know the area and the ward, it seems every time I get comfortable in an area, it's time for me to move again!! It's great, a real great learning experience and it keeps everything on the edge!

I hope you all have great weeks! Love you!
