LETTER #32 . . . working hard!

Hello! I WILL SEND PICTURES THROUGH WIFI. I talked to Tan for a long time on the phone! PLEASE TELL JAKE AND DAD THAT I WILL WRITE THEM BOTH NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!
I am pretty sure you can send the emails to whatever email but i'm pretty sure you can just start sending them to missionary.org. Yes sorry i forgot to respond on google chat but i did see them. Yes please keep sending the videos if it's not to hard because i love them so much!

Yes being with Elder Heugly has been really great. We are working super hard and met and started teaching 20 new people this week!! We don't have anyone with baptism date right now because we don't want to force a date on anyone but we are working really hard with a couple people to get them close! 

We are hearing from a bunch of different people that the mission time is changing too!!! I have no idea if it is rumor or not. I think i will probably try my hardest to stay out my 2 years but we will see what the announcement is!! I am pretty sure they are making a change though. I heard girls are changing to a year and boys to a hear and a half? 

Is your whats app number your normal number?? Just you have it and i can talk to you guys when i cant get to a computer and i can call you through wifi!

Please have spencer write me and tell me all the mission calls!! That is so crazy that i have been out far enough for other people to start opening their calls!

I need to figure out a better way to call you guys. I am so sorry that i have been so bad at writing and calling you guys. I still am thinking about you guys always and i am keeping a very good history in my journal just pdays are super hard. I AM SOSOSO GRATEFUL for you writing me every week mom!! You are the best!

HOW IS LISA DIXON DOING WITH LINDSAY AND CHASE HAVING BABIES?? THAT'S so crazy!

MOM, I LOVE AND MISS YOU TONS!!! Keep working hard. Go do something spontaneous and fun this week! Make sure you guys read scrips and pray! Tell the fam i love them! I want to talk to you next week!

Love you all!

 Elder Townsend

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...

LETTER #15 . . . HELLO Y'ALL!

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!

Image
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...
