My Fingers Say Euless Spanish A

Hey y'all.

This week was real good. Elder Hagen and Elder Beckert (the one from Oaxaca) left, and they both went out to the boonies haha. Elder Ray is here and he's super chill and we've had a good time. We have tons of ideas about little things here and there throughout the mission, so we'll see if we can change 'em up. 

Looks  like mom and dad had tons of fun! Haha, Speaking of mom, I can call sometime between 3 and 3:30 here time, (2 and 2:30 there time) if that works?

We have had lots of good stuff happen. check out somm pickshaaas-


Typical missionary closet haha. 


Elder Ray and I. So sour.


Elder Petersen (remember him?) went home this week.

Elder Ostlund went home too. 


My fingers say Euless Spanish A.


Love,
Cole

2 Elders, 3 Bowls, 2 Cups, 25 Plates

Yo's-
This week has been awesome. I feel like I have been learning a lot lately.  A lot about how to ride the storm, and learning to love the struggle. Elder Petersen and I have been having a lot of trouble communicating, but I know it's going to get better. Last night, the Spanish Training Leaders were giving us a ride home and we set some goals and made some plans to improve. The talk we had went really well, and Elder Petersen really opened up for a little bit. We set some goals to communicate more. I have been writing questions that start conversation (who is your favorite superhero, what is your family like, favorite food, etc.) in the back of my planner, to whip out when times get rough or somesing.

Our investigators seem to have a lot of potential, but nobody came to church and nobody has a baptismal date right now. However, we have some plans to remedy both of those. We found a super cool investigator last week, she was a referral from Ft. Worth ward, and she seems really ready. The main problem we have right now, is that we cannot find any exchanges. We called probably around 15 members this week, and not one could come out with us. It has been a real struggle to get member present lessons in this area.
It has been pretty cool here lately. JK it is super hot and I am pure sweaty after like 30 seconds of being on the bike. Also, because it is humid or somesing it makes my whole body sweat from head to toe so my whole body is pure wet and it is awesome. It is really windy in Texas so it cools me off sometimes. I like it. But most of the time I am ridiculously hot. That's all for now!
Love,
Cole

P.S. I named this email in honor of the disproportionate amount of plates we have in our apartment.
