March 15, 2011

Sorry i didnt write yesterday. it was crazy we had cambios so the last two days have been so busy. first sunday night we were busy picking up all the missionaries who are leaving and all there luggage. i went with elder moreno who was an assistant to say good bye to some people and then i went with him and a few of the other missionaries who are leaving. we didnt get to bed until 1 in the morning running around trying to get everything done. it was kind of sad. this is the first group in the mission that i will actually really miss the other groups were just older people that i really didnt know but in this group i have a lot of friends that are leaving and its sad but i guess its just part of the mission. the only thing in life that is constant is change. thats when we learn the most in life is when there are changes that we have to adapt to and learn from. i think that is why there is so many changes in the mission, changes in companions, in sectors, in assignments, because that is when you learn the most. so i found out that i am leaving to lota in two weeks. i am really excited to leave the office. it was a good experience and i feel i progressed a lot, but i am excited for another change and another experience to learn. three new missionaries came today, we got to eat lunch with the President and sit through all the meetings it was interesting. President is such a great guy he is leaving in 3 and a half months. that has probably been my favorite thing about the office is getting to know President more. So ya this is the really busy time in the office cambios are always crazy, it wasnt as bad with the last one because we didnt have anyone coming but this cambio was insane. i am so tired, i think we have gone to bed at 1 o clock for three nights in a row. i think this will help my cramming abilities in college when i get home from the mission jk. so ya i am doing good, really tired looking forward to finally going to bed at 11 again, it will be awesome to get my good 8 hours of sleep, but i guess this is good practice for when i am a dad as well. so ya everything is good, the sector is doing well, we found some really cool people. so ya all is well thanks for your letters and thoughts on my birthday. we went bowling and had a good time. i attempted to bake the cake that leah sent me but we tried to do it in a bread pan so the bottom was burned and the top was still uncooked, but we ate it anyway. but is was a good birthday. thanks for everything love you lots.
