Week Sixty Six

Wed 11/9/2011 4:14 AM

Hi Mom!

So even though I´m really jealous, I´m actually kinda glad you´re in a different time zone, because we´re doing email really early today, and you might actually get it! I still can´t believe you´re in NYC; what are you going to do there? You´ve got to catch a show or something, and for sure eat somewhere incredible. I´m so jealous!!!!!

Transfers are the day before Thanksgiving, and I´m really expecting that nothing´s going to change. If so, it´ll be the first time since I was with Elder Barbosa that I´ve been with a companion for 2 transfers. Crazy, huh? It´s cool to have a lot of companions, but I do like it when I work with someone for a while, especially someone as diligent and motivated as Elder Gill. It´s really going well, and we´ve got two more baptisms in the next 2 weeks! At least! Things are going really well here, better than they have been all year in the ward, by the looks of it. I´m so grateful that the Lord has blessed us with so much success. And it´s going to get better from here!

What´s up with Elder de Jesus? I know that he´s been in the area he´s in for a while, but I haven´t seen him in forever. I´m kinda hoping he´ll be transferred into the Zone this transfer, but it´s all what God wants to happen. That´s cool that he got into contact with you!

Elder Gill needs a present too; since he´s going home soon after Christmas, he won´t be getting anything until he gets home from his parents, so I think it´d be cool to get him something, too. I have no idea really what to get him, but he likes music and lifting and stuff, so maybe you guys would be better at finding that kinda stuff than me. You guys did really well with Elder Barbosa last year!

I still can´t believe you´re in New York. Let me know all about it, and where you´re going to eat! I love you Mom, and I´m so grateful for everything you guys do for me. Have an awesome trip! Love you!!!!
Love, Eric
