Hey there mom and dad!
it's great that you all had a good 4th of july! family parties are always a blast. haha we did the same thing that we always do. it was really hard on sunday though because some of our appointments fell through, and people did not want to talk to us when we were tracting! everyone was enjoying a bbq with family or friends so that was a little challenging. we did see a lot of fire works though when we got back to the apartment. there were loud bangs going off for hours! my companion and i sat on the roof for a little bit, watching them go off. it was fun.
it's great that you've been doing so well dad! way to go. so what happened with jeremy? i hope that he can find some success with Red McCombs. don't worry mom! i'm healthy and eating enough. well, i'm eating enough... not sure how healthy i am. we ate 4 times monday!!! so we were STUFFED. and as for health, i played soccer today so i ran around! ;)
thanks for sending me that package. ya'll are great. but don't worry i don't need anything at the moment.
well i've met my president now. he's a great man, it's just... different i guess, because of the changes. he seems like a really fun person and really caring. i don't understand why we do some of the things that we do, but i guess i don't have to. because we combined the missions, we had that short two week transfer until we got on track with the northside transfer schedule. so we just had transfers today! and guess what? they DID effect me. i have a new companion again. i guess i'm just a "1 transfer missionary" haha. i was only with Elder Devey for 2 weeks, and now i'm with an elder who came from the northside. he seems like a good kid. he's been out here for 20 months! so he's pretty old in the mission. he kind of seems young though for some reason. haha he's a little goofy (in a good way!) and i'm sure i'll love him. the most important thing is that he seems to know why he's here and wants to work, so i like that a lot. because that's the most important thing.
thanks for sharing that journal entry with me mom. i really enjoy reading your insights and having different glimpses of your testimony. you two dad! thanks for your comments on finding people to teach. you two are a great source of strength! i'm very grateful to have you both. i'm working hard to let people know why i am here as a missionary. like i mentioned, my last companion taught me a lot of things. recently we've had to learn to be very honest and bold with people and i love it. we let them know why we are here as missionaries. we explain that we are here to tell them of the one church of Jesus Chirst and to baptize them. then we figure out their commitment level and if we really should continue meeting with them. and with our members as well. we have been working on asking members to pray about people we can teach. my new companion and i should have a very successful time together.

we met with one of our investigators yesterday. we taught him at the church and he brought his girlfriend. it was great because we were able to show them around the church and then teach them both the message of the restoration in the building. the spirit was really strong and my companion and i worked together very well! i think that was one of the best lessons i've been apart of so far. the spirit testified even to me as i was teaching. i hope that they continue in their learning and read the book of mormons that we gave them. i'll let you know.
well i love you all! sometimes life is difficult, for me and for you all at home. but there is one thing that matters above all, and that is our testimonies of the gospel. i find so much more ease and comfort knowing our purpose here on the earth as God's children. like you said mom, that little piece of knowledge is very important. we are His children with potential to be like him. oh man the gospel is great! it makes me smile :) i hope you all are doing well and i'm glad to hear mom that you have been praying for missionary experiences. keep up the awesome work family!!
until next week,
elder munoz out.
