Hey everybody!
This shift key on this keyboard sucks so i'm not going even bother capitalizing anything. i will be spending the next transfer with.....elder sypherd! elder sypherd was in my last zone and we were there together for 4 months and his trainer, elder coats and i, are good buds. i had done an exchange and spent a day with him before. he's a good guy. he's really quiet though. he kinda reminds me of scott serage. elder coats was having a hard time getting him to talk in the lessons when he was new so we'll see how he is now. coats also told me that he gets discouraged easily as well. i'm not worried. i really like elder sypherd so i'm excited and willing to help him in any way i possibly can. i feel like that's something i am really good at isconnecting with people that aren't popular or really social and making them feel good-being a friend to them and not just superficially. president sent me an email saying that he was putting him with me because he thinks i will be able to help him feel loved and to help him grow as a person and as a missionary.
Elder maxfield is done now. all that he has to do now is wait til tomorrow when his parents come and he'll be going around with them until next week. they're going to come by tomorrow and me and sypherd are going to go to lunch with them at the peruvian restaurant maxfield and i used to go to every week after district meeting back in the day and i'm going to put together a package for maxfield to take home to give to pete in salt lake. the package will include a disc with pictures and the videos you guys are dying to see. i am now at the point in my mission where maxfield was when i left him in el cruce. weird! time goes so fast. also speaking of ex-companions, elder spencer got transferred today to my zone so it'll be fun having him around again. he's a fun dude.
I'm jealous of the ultimate. who else did you guys play with? that's good to hear that sam's still got the skills because we're going to be the best brother trio ever. i think we'll have to make a new team name though. something cool. with cooler shirts. yeah. maybe just shirts for us three.
we played some fun soccer on saturday for mutual and we had several investigators there. elias is a 16 year old paraguayan kid that is the friend of a member and he plays amazing. he had some experiences with the church in paraguay and he wants to start coming to church. he's a cool guy. we're also going to start working with a 13 year old kid named braian that is the cousin of the girl we baptized a few weeks ago. he came to church this week and really liked it.
Well that's all for this week. i sure love you guys and sure look forward to being with you guys again. you're the best! we'll be talking in about a month.
love, matt
