New Area, Companion, Apartment and Loving it All!

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite letters. He sounds so happy and doing well.  Although his struggles are what makes him realize he can put his trust in the Lord and receive answeres to his prayers.  It's 5 months today since we took him to start his journey.  In some ways it seems so quick and others it seems like forever.  An experience I wouldn't trade.  He's doing awesome and I can read it in his email.  Enjoy!


 How many other Elders are in the area?  Does your comp. speak English?
theres like 2 other comps he can say good morning good night cat dog and Hot THATS IT!!!!! haha the other elders are from guatamala
Is there anything big around you or is it a small town like your old area? 

nah its a populated area like on google maps you would see like some big buildings with blue roofs and then a little farther away is like a subdivision of ecactly the same houses its not in my area but i can see it theres a really big populated street that seperates my area

My Area is Called La Lopez Arrellana OR somthing like that its by Cerro Verde Trincheras its in the middle of Fesitranh and Chaloma

The lock out will end, they all want to be paid!!!  I am trying to find your city on the map???

Did you see the real Elder Peterson at changes. 

Nah i didnt he wasnt there dang it how is he doing have you talked to his family  Mom, talks to his mom pretty regular  will they let you go the Temple in San Salvador?

That is cool, how long has he been out?  He will teach you a lot, and in turn he will learn from you pal.
Hes been out for like 15 months or so My new comp is great!!! We are Working its what i was doing with petersen thats why i loved it so much were working talking with all the people i love it oh interesting fact my comp stands at 5 feet no inches haha sweet huh

And the rest of his email... 
Well new area new comp new alot of things its crazy. Anyways Cambios were sweet suprisnly there were not alot of Elders but i guess was a good amout had some talks then it started i was about the 5th one to go Elder Clayton will go to La Lopez Orillana With Elder Velasquez haha ya i was pretty stoked. Im about 30mins outside of San Pedro so not to far with about 20 mins from Puerta Cortes so thats cool its a pretty gnarly area with some major hills alot of times i feel like i am hiking rather than walking. Its alot more hilly than Cofradia i know that but its good. Really cofradia was great i loved the people and area and Elder Petersen..... Really Padre Celestial knew i needed a change he knew thats forsure cause right now i am really happy and excited to be here the ward is cool my comp is way awesome he is from guatemala from some city thati have no idea how its spelled all i know is there is a temple being built there right now and it will be done in like Deciembre i think so ya pretty cool. We are working really i love it  talking with tons of people and really im having a great time So ya thats new with me.. Oh and our apartment its flippin nice one of the best in the missioin really a welcomed change its sweet thats all im gonna say. Also next week we have the dedication of the temple El Salvador so that should be pretty awesome to see. This morning we played Futbol  that was pretty fun and intense with some of the elders here theyre freaking good. Got some skills.

So also in Cambios pres Veirs gave a challenge to read El Libro de Mormon in 2 cambios so by Sept 21 be at Alma 24 it kinda was a downer since i was in Alma 58 but its all good right. Other than that we are just teaching its going good the people here are pretty responsive oh one funny story is we contacted this house and there was a girl she had like 15 anos we asked if we could return in like 2 days she said ya so we did when we came back there was a guy inside that said he doesnt like our church but the girl came out and told us to pass and when we walked in the guy well lets just say he....FLIPPED yelling at us the girl he was only in boxers and covered in deciocho tattoos its a gang here thtas prett big anyways the mom of the house was way chill we sat down and everything was good he left and we taught a lesson so that was cool They also came to church yesterday so yay lookin good. Also last night while walking home we had a guy offer us money now this has happened before because even though they dont want anything to do with our church were preaching for God and people think we should be paid....anyways were crossing the street and he yells to us to take this money we explain that we dont do this for money this guy was insane yelling screaming at us to take his money in the end we just walked away it was nuts but makes for good stories right. Other than that fun stuff we have had a good week of teaching and have found some people that i feel good about well see what comes of it.

So sounds like your week was good i didnt get a ton of info but hopefully New York was bomb for stetson in those pics he looks big is he he looks like it anyways. And Caleb and Dad were in Bearlake con kokene salmon huh thats pretty cool can you catch them and how big are they. and tending Ezra huh thats pretty gnarly im not gonna lie anything else fun Let Me know
