September 30, 2013

hey mom!

yeah you`re right i got the flight plans too! bout time! haha no, it`s crazy though! time has gone by way too fast! as far as getting set apart, it really doesn`t matter to me, i guess just whatever`s easiest for everyone. maybe just so we`re not in a huge hurry that night we could just do it the next day in the morning, but whatever works. and sorry about the email, i don`t know what happened. i always write you first just to make sure i have plenty of time, so don`t worry about that :)

things with my comp are good. we get along fine and there`s no problems. it is a little hard cause i`m used to just taking the initiative and starting lessons or having a comp that really knows what he`s doing, but being menor i should kinda sit back a little and let him take the lead, but he wont really. it`s tough. he needs to do it though, cause like for me the knowledge that i can get won`t help me for as long, since i`m leaving in a month, but he still has a year and half almost, so it`ll help him longer, if that makes sense. but we`re getting there, i keep trying to remind him and help him to take on a few more responsibilities, so it`s all good. it`s weird not being zl or even dl, and not have anyone ever call me, and i never know what`s going on with anyone or anything haha, it`s weird. but it`s good too at the same time cause i don`t have to think about anyone else but my area and investigators.

i`ve told you a little bit about hermano nelson i think, and it`s been tough with him.  i think we`ve left every part in the BOM that talks about faith and believing and things like that, and he always reads it, but doesn`t get it for some reason. he just wants to keep getting more knowledge. it`s tough though, cause he does everything we ask him, he fulfills his compromisos, i don`t know how to say that in english haha, he`s gone to church a few times and activities and stuff, and so on the outside he`s progressing, but it seems to me that spiritually he isn`t, so i don`t know what to do. i think we`re just gonna finish the lessons and see if anything changes, but hopefully things do. 

we have a few other people too, but he`s more or less the most positive. conference might be good for him. i already know i`m gonna watch it in english, cause it`s just not the same in spanish. like the message is the same, but the emotion isn`t. there`s not much like hearing the prophet`s voice or jeffrey r holland and the way they say things, so it`s just gotta be in english haha. i`ll watch everything else in spanish, but conference i don`t think so haha.

weather down here has changed a little too. it`s really started to rain a lot, almost daily and for a good long while haha. i don`t think i`ll really miss that haha. i am scared of the cold though haha, i just know i`m gonna get sick! but it`s all good :) but yeah i`m fine right now, don`t worry about me. only 4 more weeks so be prepared! :) i hope everyone has an awesome week! ¡cuìdense!

much love,

elder paskett
