A New Comp & A Marshmellow in a cup of Hot Chocolate


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
