Hey, congrats to Jeff Johnson for his call to Rio de Janeiro. Good luck man, and make sure you look for and say hi to an Elder Honeycutt there, one of the Americans from my group at the MTC. Good guy, even though he plays football for the Utes. (I think you might remember him mom and dad, we met him at the airport the day I left. He was the one with the three girls following him around.) And good luck with spending all three major holidays in the MTC. Remember, if you can make it past Christmas, you´re home free.
So this week is Zone Conference. Tomorrow we travel to Dourados and get to receive instruction/hang out with some of the other Elders. I´m excited.
This area definately has a different feel to it. People are a lot more willing to let us in to hear the message, but unfortunately it´s still pretty hard to get people to come to church... If it´s too cold outside, the won´t leave their houses to go to church.
So yeah, my area is pretty cool. It´s also significantly richer than my last area. There´s some ridiculously big houses around here, and even one that´s a replica of Elvis´s house in Graceland that someone lives in. I really wanna knock there and see if they´ll accept the message/let me in and see the house. I´ll try to get a picture to show you guys. It´s pretty sweet.
Also, apparently some church member years ago owned a lot of roads and property around here, so he named some stuff after the church. In our area, we have a Road Angel Moroni and Road Joseph Smith.
Well, that´s my time this week.
See ya next time.
-Excelcior!
Oh yeah, I heard something about China opening for missionary work. Is that true? Somebody tell me.
