July 20, 2011


hahah!
 
i knew you would enjoy that mom! it's been fun. my comp has helped me branch out and try stuff like that and it's been good. i like cooking and eating healthy much more than before.
 
man that must be such a change that things are so quiet and everyone is gone now. that's super relaxing now though yeah.? and that is SUCH a cool experience to go do baptisms for the dead with all those who hadn't done that before. did you know that's what our stake here has been doing? it's a GREAT idea. dad said that the stake president was thinking about doing it on that level too. i think it's neat. and you got to be apart of it! way to go mom!
 
i'm nervous about my mission president saying no. but i still want devin to come say hi. how do you feel about that? hahaha (don't judge me, i'm not perfect ;) )
 
thanks for your prayers! we have been doing really well together. i was truly hoping to serve one more transfer with elder swenson, but.... my time is up!!! i'm finally being transfered. i had a good run. 11 months in the ward! can you believe that? oh my i love this ward. i honestly think that it's one of the best in chicago and my area too. we have a ton of cool members! well my time was good but now it's time for a new adventure. can you guess where i'm going?? well... i'm staying in the city... somewhere that i'm familiar with... hahha i'm going back to the area where i started my mission!!! can you believe that? i'm stoked. i will actually know what i'mdoing this time around and how to speak spanish. i'm moving back to the south side in 26th street. i'll be in a new apartment though, i'm not sure if i told you but my old apartment burnt down. haha. i'll be serving as a district leader in the Chicago Zone with an elder hancock. adventures lay ahead!
 
we've had some awesome adventures recently though. my companion and i have been teaching a lot and really picking up the work in the area. we have found several people to teach and gosh dang it! i'm going to miss out on some baptisms for sure. we are teaching a Cuban lady that i'm pretty sure i talked to you about. she is really nice and interested in the gospel. she has been to church before and thought it was beautiful. the other woman that's really cool is a dominican lady. she's the mother of Carmen who has been meeting with missionaries for YEARS and has always loved the members of the church. but her husband didn't approve of "mormonism". apparently he has had a change of heart though! she should be baptized within a month. her mother has expressed interest in the church now and went to services. she loved it and now wants to prepare for baptism too!!! many good things have beeen happening in the area. many miracles from the Lord.
 
well thanks for sending me p90x! i'm really excited to get it. and AH! i'll be sure to send pictures soon. sorry i'm so lazy about that. forgive me! i'll try to print some off today. so my most recent convert, juan ramirez gave me a gift when i said goodbye. he gave me a 2 and a half feet high statue of a bear with a chicago Bears jersey and helmet. hahah it's really cool, i'll send a pic. i'm going to miss the people here in this area. and in the whole ward. they've taught me a lot and i love being able to serve them. but i look forward to serving chicago 2nd ward too. i'm a much better missionary now than when i started and i hope they'll be able to see the changes in me.
 
love you tons and miss you tons!
elder munoz
