Hey family!!! sure love you all!

 

this week was pretty good. I have a new companion named elder ruiz-leon and despite his Hispanic last name doesn't speak Spanish haha! but he's doing good!

 

a lot of  our investigators are doing really good, but super busy! we've had a really hard time contacting them and getting lessons with them! elder ruiz-leon has been pretty frustrated haha but that's just how the mission life is, sometimes we just don't have lessons...the important thing is to keep working hard and being obedient and things will work out and be ok!

 

this Friday we are having a special mission conference, Elder Teh of the seventy is coming to visit us and train us! President told us that Elder Teh is younger than him! and from the Philippines. I am looking forward to it.

 

I'm not sure if its just because I've been out here for a year and a half but I am exhausted...I wake up, exhausted...work out, exhausted....eat food, exhausted...study, exhausted... teach, exhausted... hahah! I guess there is no rest for the weary.. :) but some how God keeps blessing me with strength to keep on keepin on.

 

this upcoming transfer is going to be a 5 week transfer plus a ton of meetings so it should go by really fast! its 5 weeks so all the departing missionaries cam make it home the week before Christmas! which I bet the families will be super grateful!

 

yesterday at church , Raymond V. and his mom maria came to visit me!!! (I worked with them a lot in springlake) it was so good to see them! i'm not sure if it was against any rules but I didn't invite them so my hands are clean! haha. maria on her way out shook my hand and left a piece of paper in my hand and smiled! late I looked at  what it was and it was a lot of money! too much money! haha.

 

also yesterday at church juan C. and his wife came (he is about 22 and less-active, he's the one who reminds me a lot of charley and cassie) but it was so good to see them come with there little baby!

 

has Michael dumped his girlfriend yet? I keep on writing rough drafts but I don't want to sound to mean haha!

 

time sure is going fast! too fast, especially with the holiday season! please let me know of Amanda's baby goes! i'm excited for her!

 

con amor,

Elder Lifferth
