LETTER #29 . . . PHONE CALL and photos!

Hello, 

This is Mardi, Bobo's Mom.  We got to talk to Britt this past Monday on the phone for over an hour.  I believe phone calls will probably not be happening each week as he was an hour bus ride away at a mall when we were able to connect, and he says it is not going to be that easy most weeks. I'm guessing we'll be talking to him about once or twice a month . . . who knows, we'll see! We couldn't get the video chat to work on both of our ends but we could hear and see him for a few minutes while we were trying to get it to work.  It was so fun to sit and listen to him speak Spanish.  His Spanish sounds great! 
It was so fun to talk to him and ask him about things that are hard to communicate through letters.  It's amazing to see, even after just 6 months how a mission can change someone. He says he's been singing out there in the mission field . . . WHAT?  Like I couldn't even get him to sing in Sacrament Meeting!  He told me to try to get Spencer and Josh to sing in the choir at the school and wishes he would have done choir with friends.  He's also reading the Book of Mormon for his third time and loving it!  This third time he is reading it in Spanish!  And I didn't even know he liked to read!  And he says he is reading and studying many other things and loving it!  

 Britt asked about how everyone is doing at home and is sad that he doesn't have the time to write all of you!  Thanks for all of your support.  He told me he has a new email address and I wrote it down but now can't remember where I wrote it down.  Shoot!  I will get it again Monday!

Pretty!

LETTER #19 . . . new comp and new investigators!!

Hello friends and family!  Miss u tons!!! This week i got a new companion and we started working super hard from the very first minute together! His name is Elder Arnett and he is from Arizona. i think it's kinda weird to be able to have normal conversation with someone throughout the day in my native language. I hope i'm not forgetting how to talk to people haha. This week we found and taught 11 new investigators in 3 days which are crazy numbers in Gamboa!! I think a couple of these people have totally been prepared for us and will get baptized! I have learned this week that if you want success that you have to face twice as much rejection. This week more than any other time in my mission i have seen so many doors slammed but also we met so many people ready for our message! Lesson= work hard + face rejection= success!!! One day i was getting kinda sad thinking about my family and friends and snow and Christmas season and as i had these thoughts we got talking...

Hi Y'All! This week i was getting my haircut with a cool member and I let him taze me with this cool police taser and my bum hurt the whole haircut so that was cool! :/  The weather is starting to get a little bit warmer which is so cool but it's still cold and rains just about every day haha!  I think it's hard for me to learn Spanish because i am trying to learn Chilean Spanish from a comp that's from Ecuador that mixes in Creole and English and Ecuador slang in his sentences haha but i am figuring it out and my Spanish really is SLOWLY getting better!  This week was really happy and the work is getting a little bit better because I am making my comp walk instead of taking taxis everywhere and we have been meeting so many people!! We try to go somewhere cool every pday but it's always bad weather but hopefully soon i will have cool pictures to show you guys!!!  I sometimes wake up and work out and just start reading scriptures for a couple hour...

LETTER #6 . . . last letter from Mexico MTC . . GOODBYE MTC!

Hello everyone!  Goodbye to the MTC and to this awesome district!   I miss you all and hope everyone is happy and healthy! The MTC is so humbling and has helped me so much to become disciplined but also i am going crazy just sitting here all day!! I check into recepcion to leave this place at 3am Monday morning and have an 8 hour flight to Santiago. When we get to Santiago we have a 21 hour layover and i think will be sleeping in a hotel. After the layover we have a 1-2 hour flight to Osorno and i am not really sure what happens after that but i will keep you all updated.  Bobo with Anne and John Pingree from the Seventy . . . guest speakers at their devotional! This week was by far one of the most boring weeks but i seriously still loved it so much and i am learning so much! A couple nights ago John and Anne Pingree from the Seventy came and spoke and made me feel so much peace about being out here and i learned that my success while i am o...
