Week 43 (10/20/10) Email to family

Hey everybody!
Good news here from El Jagüel! I received Elder Spencer into El Jagüel and he is the district leader. Elder Spencer and I have the same amount of time and we already knew each other and we're buds so I'm stoked. This transfer is going to be a lot better. I was hoping to be senior comp but Elder Spencer and I are going to work good together. We're going to tear it up! Basically we're both senior comps. Elder Maxfield got transferred out of El Cruce after 6 months there and got moved to the area right above mine and now we're in the same district. I'm excited because this transfer is going to be awesome.
     Marisol is still doing great. She is cruising in the Book of Mormon. She says she really feels the peace and spiritual strength that comes from reading it. Its like food for the spirit. She said she noticed it the most when she didn't read on Sunday, the difference she felt. She couldn't come to church on Sunday but she came to an activity on Saturday. We talked with her this week about the importance of marriage and she and her marido are going to talk about it. He sounds like a really good guy and I think we're going to get to meet him on Saturday night. He's from Bolivia as well. Marisol was born in Potosí. I don't know if you remember which city that was Mom but that was the city with really high altitude where we went to the caves and the coin press museum and where I had to pee worse than I have have ever had to pee. Whenever I meet Bolivians I feel an extra amount of love for them. Bolivians are pretty discriminated against here and that makes me sad. Her son David is always happy to see us. I think he's going to draw me a picture of Spiderman haha. Pablo's still doing good, we've got an appointment with him today. Adelina, one of the references from the Gutiérrez family that I talked about last week is doing really good. We have to take it a little bit slower with her because she is from Paraguay so her first language is Guaraní, but she really likes it and came to church this week with her 6-year old daughter.
      That's about all I've got for this week. I love you guys and I hope everything is well. I'm happy with where I'm at and what I'm doing. I know this is the Lord's work. This is the true church of God and He loves each one of you. As do I. Until next week. Chau chau.
Love, Elder Woodside
