Nope
I didn´t get transferred. I´m staying here which I´m excited about. No I´m
still solid on the stickers. I want music. some good Christmas music
preferably. and also if you have any good church movies we can watch we´re
always looking. i´ve fallen in love with vocal point so if i can get some of them
that’d be great.

| Calvin demoing the Sling to nail Goliath (S/O to Abbey Read for the sling) |
We
brought some recently returned missionaries with us to lessons this week and it
helped a lot. We had the member explain authority to our investigator because
we really couldn´t explain it clearly enough. She says she knows what she has
to do and wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true.
We
had a lesson with our 16 year old investigator and she had a friend over and
he´s an atheist. It was really hard to teach because we had a lesson planned,
but at the same time we were trying to convince this kid that there is a God.
It was a really scattered lesson but it ended pretty well.
Wednesday
we had interviews with President Deere who came down to see us. It was really
short and we didn´t talk about much but it was still good to see him.
We
thought this last Thursday was thanksgiving but it turns out it wasnt...I woke
up pretty sick. It’s like 10 degrees in our piso all the time its terrible. I´m
feeling better now though.
We
brought a member to a lesson and they became like BFF´s and were gonna go to
church together so we were excited about that (but it didnt happen).
It´s
really sad we found out like the strongest family in the ward has to move to
Germany to look for work. The dad is going to leave for Germany in January, and
then everyone else is going to come once school ends in June I think. It´ll be
really tough because none of them speak any german. And is like a very
accomplished construction manager. There´s just no work here.

| The Goliath target |
Friday
we missionaries were in charge of the youth activity. Elder Buckway and I
planned the lesson and we talked about David and Goliath. I brought the sling
that Abby Read brought me from Jerusalem and we made a fake Goliath and
everyone got a turn trying to hit him with the sling. It was really fun and a
good lesson. Then we played broom hockey which was fun but our broom broke :((
After
the activity we went to meet Jose Luis, our investigator that has a baptismal date
for December 14th, and his girlfriend told us that they arent going to be able
to get married for two more months probably. She´s a member but they need to
get married before he can get baptized. So that was depressing.
Saturday
we had an Elder´s Quorum activity. We made pancakes and watched Ephraim´s
Rescue which is a church movie about the pioneers. It was amazing!!! you should
all watch it asap!!! so good!!!

| Broom Hockey in the Multi/Chapel after slaying Goliath |
Then
saturday night we met with Angy, the 16 year old girl who has a baptismal date
for December 7th. And she told us that she wasn´t ready for baptism, so we have
to drop her fecha. So that was depressing as well. We lost both of our
baptismal dates in less than 24 hours!!!! yayy!!!!! o well. we´ll keep working.
We have investigator that we just need to meet with more and she´ll be baptsized
no
more time love you love you!!!
[to Dad] Well we all thought thanksgiving was last thursday,
but we still didn´t do anything for it. We´re going to eat at a members house
Thursday afternoon so I guess that´s the celebration. And no we can´t go play
any football. Nope I´m not getting transferred. I should be here until the
first week of January.
Sister Richardson sent me a letter saying that you went over
there telling her family they had to invite over another family to teach them
about the Church.
Guess what? I´ve lost
20 pounds...I weigh like 155. I can´t believe it. It´s pretty much all in
my waist I think. I don´t feel any smaller. And it´s only since I´ve been in
Chiclana. It´s weird. I don´t understand. I´m trying to eat a lot. But it´s
hard...
