Week... not sure haha Feb 4 2019

this week was a goodie as per usual haha. obviosly not all is fun and games but when you look for the good you find it, (same with the bad)

anyways things are going well, we had an interchange, i had cereal for the first time in almost 6 months... lifechanging i must say. 

this next week its pretty likely that i get transferred out of patapo which is 2 bad but i know its all part of a plan. honestly ive gotta give at least a little bit of a shoutout to these people, they are awesome, this ward has grown, not only in numbers but the members have grown so much and im so grateful for all of them, especially my ward mission leader brother edson. he really is the mvp. hes helped me through quite a bit of hard days or even weeks, that guy is awesome. 

one really cool thing from this week was finding 2 families. both without a dad. and the kids, all boys are about my age and they just totally opened up to me like i was their big brother. which really hit me, ive always wondered why im the oldest in my fam, its kinda hard being the example sometimes, (hard to be a good example anyways) but these families really helped me see why im the oldest, so i could help them and relate to them, also this week i got an answer to this same question from BOTH my mom who i absolutley love so darn much and im so grateful for her and whi has helped me become who i am today and who i can become in the future... AND my step mom who i love so darn much and has done so much for me in helping me prepare for this sacred time on the mission.  SHOUTOUT to all the moms, you guys are awesome. 

haha i got another haircut and ill tell ya what my hair just cant catch a break lol. someday it will look normal hahaha...

so we had a super spiritual expirience in english connect which is the class i teach, i decided to teach a silent (or quiet) lesson after about jesus christ and i dont have much time to say everything that happend, ill tell you what we all felt the spirit. and it was a great experience... i was crying pretty hard which its a good thing im so far from you all right now cuz im an ugly cryer... i think haha. im ugly anyways let alone a crying elder allred hahahaha. anyways i love you all so much!! hope youre week is soooooo awesome!!!

Love,
