Transferred

December 23, 2013

Hey family! love you all!

 

As you saw I got transfered! I am now living in annandale in the little river ward. its a nice ward, relatively small and young (a lot of converts of less than 5 years or so) but it has a good missionary mentality. It's exciting.

 

Before I forget mom one on my last purple inhaler and I'm on about 45 left so still have some time :)

 

My new companion is elder alfaro. his dad his from el salvador and his mom is a gringa. he is a really nice guy! So far hasn't been too hard to work with. But I love him a lot and I feel pretty protective of him ha. he really loves classic rock and is always singing pink floyd and other artists of that time haha and he loves classic movies star wars and stuff like that. so its pretty entertaining. I think  this will be a good growing experience for me!

 

Yesterday night we went to the temple visitor center with a member and some less actives (well inactives, they haven't been to church in 20 years haha) and it was really good! the performance was by the temple orchestra there and it was really nice, the funny thing is that while we were there I saw a family from my last area the escobars! and the mom (who reminds me a lot of grandma shirley) ran up to me and gave me a big hug in front of everyone haha I was like....uhhhh... haha it was funny because I've only been away for since thursday so only a couple days and she was like ahhhh we miss you so much! haha

 

Its really cool here, our ward missionary leader use to play professional soccer back in bolivia! I really want to play with him so we will see!

 

Yesterday we had a baptism (not mine because I just got here) but the man who got baptized is soo great! he's an older gentleman and so loving and just so prepared! I also found out that one of the people I was working with back in springlake got baptized this past week! so that was great to hear! haha.

 

So for Christmas we are planning on hopefully skyping around 1 o clock here so 11 ish your time. I have mom's account to use and I will skype to dad's account. we only have 45 mins to skype so lets try to not go over too much! :) haha.

 

I've been getting to know a couple members over here so far and they are really nice. I know a couple members who go here from different exchanges I've been on and they were really happy to see I am here now! so so far its been a nice comfortable transition.

 

I did get that package, I am saving to open it on wednesday! thank you!

 

That's exciting that aaron is going on a mission! I see that michael still hasn't dumped his girlfreind....

 

Well I love you all so much and we will talk more this wednesday!!! Merry Christmas!

 

con amor,

Elder Lifferth
