A Big Surprise! and Dia De Gracia


We had an awesome email with great news from Bridger on Monday.  If you remember, Bridger had a roommate in the MTC, Elder Peterson who was like another brother.  They had so much in common, oldest of three brothers, the Nixon or BIG watches, sunglasses, etc., and they became fast friends.  Josh's mom and I went to lunch to meet and then we got our families together and we have met with them every 6-8 weeks for dinner.  They are one of the choicest blessings of his service. 



WOW Thanksgiving can you believe it its already freaking here unbelievable i thought how you said that this year it will only be you 4  but then i really thought that's all you really need is you re own family you know what i mean sorry i cant be there but for sure the next one right haha anyways i hope you guys all eat some turkey and mashed potatoes I'm sure i will be eating some Beans Rice and Tortillas hahah but its all good i like that too believe it or not i really do love the food here sometimes i even get  a craving for a banana soda ah man those are bomb anyways so what else happened this week school should get out on Wed for Caleb at least so that's cool also we had a good wee this week in church we had 2 news come a inactive family that has a daughter that is not a member so we will start to work with them and also a way cool guy named Antonio who has a problem with alcohol in his life and just wants to change so i know we can help him he just has to help himself too anyways the weather here too is changing a lot its actually cold i think which is sad because its really only like 82 degrees but i have no idea what i will do if i ever get home in March ahhh I'm dead oh well. Also this week we had a blast because me and my new comp started to jump into the Christmas spirit buying lights and putting them up in our room and listening to my Christmas music i love Christmas time its just a different  time everyone well most walk happy and there is just something in the air we also are going to do something cool tonight so there is a nice family in our ward not the most well off family but they love the missionaries so tonight we are going to have a family home evening with them and buying pizza!!! They have no idea but it will be good. The ward here in San Pedro is doing good we just now need people to teach the mission is struggling a little bit and we need to help it i always get so nervous on the last week of the month but all is well we just need more investigators and for people to accept this message i sometimes wish the church flowed as smoothly here as in Utah like i remember in our ward always started on time and Mom taught us to always be on time for whatever appointment or date we had to do and that is just something that kills me here is people being late even if its only 10 mins late your late man its a killer anyways its all good. This change will be a good one i can feel it we just need to find a family for December that we can baptizer so that in a year they can go and get sealed in the temple! Anyways so Changes were this week my comp is a Elder Denìs hes a good guy with an awesome outlook on life I've known him alot through the mission and hes a good guy so we will work hard and turn Zona San Pedro Around and being better anyways i think that's something i love about the Gospel is you have to be the best you can be getting better everyday but there are times we stumble and we fall down but we have to get back up and keep trucking on. Well that's it for this week thanks so much I love you
Love Elder Bridger Clayton
