This email tells of his companion Elder Johnson going home. We are anxiously awaiting a phone call tell us that he is here in SLC to go to school. I can't wait to meet him. I love his attitude, he seems to just press forward and go forward. Even though I know they had such a great time together. I love how they worked hard even until the end of his mission. Many times they get anxious and stop working hard and this is not the case. He was sent now two Elders home, which is quite unusual. This week also marked 199 days until his return. I don't want to wish it away, but I sure miss him at times. Thank you so much for following his adventures, it is appreciated and your prayers are felt. Enjoy...
Well this week was kind of a bummer week with Elder Johnson leaving and
Everything these 6 weeks went so flippin fast i cant even believe it what an
awesome guy so started on Tuesday we were waiting for the news when only the
latins howed up Pres made some calls and stuff the flights for them were
cancelled for 2 days so i never saw elder williams bummer right but hes in a
good area called Santa Ana with a really awesome Comp named Elder Rodas i
believe so he will be good ill be sure to say hey to him if i ever see him haha
so anyways that is that also some sweet news about the change meeting remember
my kid Elder Zavaleta the Elder that i trained well hes training!!! i was stoked
he only has 7 months and its insane but very cool im a abuelo hahah ya know ya
have the whole family thing in the mission so my "kid" is training so that makes
me a grandpa which is sweet cause i still have some time so maybe if this kid is
pilas ill be a great grandpa!!! what a family line it would be right. anyways
the sad thing about changes was that Elder Johnson Bounced outta town which
sucks i was bummed for that he was definitely one of my favorite comps i have had
in the mission we worked hard and had so much fun love the guy you have to go
and meet him!!!! Ill try to find his number or something but ya you gotta meet
him. So then we were in Changes and i got my new Comp Elder Castellon you guys
have probably heard of him before we have bounced around the mission together
and nw hes my comp so that is cool i hope that it will be a good change. Just
this week we had a super hard time finding people super hard i dont know what
the problem was bt man hard week also we only had 3 at church so that kinda
sucked too but we still have the 3 families we are working with so that is good
we have dates for this week we just have to make sure that the partida will come
in time! so that they can get married but they are freaking cool the Familia
Beltran and Mendoza so cool love em. they have a daughter named Dana who is
scared of Gringos every time we go she starts to cry and man its bad but oh well
right after talking for like 5 mns shes good but man is she scared of us
sometimes. So This week we were with the familia Beltran and they asked us if we
wanted to go get a tamale we said ok and went with them to"SWAP MEET SAN PEDRO"
Man did i stick out like a marshmellow in a cup of Hot Chocolate it was a chill
place but dang lets just say it was sketch city down there every friday and
saturday night they have this huge this it was fun and they had great food but
man i was definitively the only gringo there for miles since Elder Castellòn is
from Nicaragua but it was good we ate tamales and drank some Horchata have you
guys ever drinken Horchata wow is it an amzing drink i love it and whenever its
available i buy if you havent tried you should this week I'm sure they sell it at
BETOS so ya that was the week pretty much this week we just have to find more
people to teach it was a good week though all in all i love being a missionary
crazy where the time goes Stetson told me that Tanner Peck leaves for the
mission this week thats crazy that kid was a sophomore when i was a senior
anyways thanks for all the prayers and support i love you all so much.
Love Elder Clayton
