No Snow in January‏

No Snow in January: January 27th, 2014

Dear Family and Friends!

How are you this week?

Kansas is the weirdest place ever. We've met the craziest people ever. We've heard about power prayers, the Free Masons, Obama wire tapping all the houses, and just about everything in between. But in the end, I love it here. I love the people, the members, and the fact that it's January and there is no snow!

Sadly, I have to inform you that, "THE RETURN FROM MEXICO: AN IVAN R., STORY 2014 SPECTACOPALYPSE" did not occur this week, but should happen tomorrown. Although it is little time to prepare a baptismal service, Bishop is a-okay with Ivan getting baptized when he returns because of all the support he has in the ward and his family. All in all, we have a lot of people progressing and the work is picking up. It's still a great day to be a missionary!

We're starting to teach more in Spanish, which is great/the worst. I say this because I love to teach in a different language and fulfill my calling, but I also am keenly aware that my Spanish is not great for being this far out on my mission. I would love to blame the fact that we are still in the United States as the reason for this, but at the end of the day, it's still my responsibility to learn this language. I can do better. And that's my message this week I guess. Set goals and work hard. Have something to look forward to and work towards, even if it's as simple as being able to roll r's fluently. There is always room for improvement!

Thanks for all the letters and emails, just remember not to slack off on them because I'm a needy missionary.

Mucho amor,
