Hi family --
Can you believe that this is the last week of this transfer already? That is just crazy to me. Almost six weeks in Clarskville already... weird. This stuff is going so fast.
We had interviews with President and Sister Woodbury last week. They are the coolest. :) From what President said to me in our interview, it really sounds like Elder St. Mand I will be together for at least one more transfer, if not more. Which is good, because we know that there are two new Spanish elders coming in and I don't really want to train anyone, so getting that hint from President was welcomed. Haha. He also said that he was nervous putting two pretty new missionaries together. And rightly so. But he's really really enthusiastic for us. And I'm excited for us too, so we're on the same page. It was fun to see the Woodburys.
As planned, Agustin and Gabby put a deposit down on an apartment in Indianapolis. They're leaving next week. :( But they seem excited about meeting with us until they go, and then meeting with missionaries up there. Plus, there's a Spanish branch in Indianapolis, so I'm excited for them to go there and not have to listen to translation, and have all sorts of special accommodations like in English wards.
Rodrigo and Esbida are also good. They didn't make it to church, but he has commented to us about how he feels his life is going smoother since we started visiting. Ain't no coincidence in that! The gospel fixes everything. Let us share it, and you start living it, and it'll get even better! So we're still excited for them and doing what we can.
The other exciting thing was that Aida (just like the Broadway show), a lady we met a while back, came to church yesterday! She is from Cuba, and has only been in the States a few years. Brother Romney (the guy who called you guys) was super great to her, and we had a Gospel Principles class in Spanish for the first time in quite a while in the Jeffersonville Ward. It was way great! And it was cool because we involved some members we knew speak Spanish, and they totally made the class wonderful! It was a huge load off our backs, because we hadn't really prepared anything very strong. Haha.
Today we ate breakfast with some members and the Jeffersonville English elders and then went and played softball. It was so fun. I'm an easy out when I go up to bat, but I did make it around the bases a few times! It was boys versus girls, and lots of the girls had played softball in high school. But we still totally creamed them. It was awesome.
All is well up here in Clarksville. It's weird that Macki is only a few hours from here right now. And that you two are the only ones in our families in the state of Arizona right now. I'm pretty positive that has never happened before. Haha.
At any rate, thanks for everything. We keep on keepin' on as best we can.
I love you guys!
