Hey family I got changes I got a new companion again :(

 

I had an interview with the President and I got another “Special Assignment”….I’ll tell you more details about it in my letter! I was really upset because Me and Elder Ortiz were working our guts out and really tearing it up! We were so happy and I finally got a comp that wanted to work! I’m feeling really bummed! I feel super crushed right now.  I at first didn’t think I wanted to be a trainer but knowing I was suppose to broke my heart and I’m kinda having a rough go right now! Elder Ortiz bawled his eyes out when he had to leave..We both did! I love that kid!

The mission president told me he needs me to be with  this new Elder because I’m loving and patient and he knows Osborne’s are loving and patient and I told him I don’t think you know the Osborne’s then (haha I’m not patient!)I’m frustrated because I’m working hard and being obedient! I’m trying to be positive but not much goes my way!

Me and my new comp Elder Laurente (He is from Peru and pretty young in the mission) will have 2 or 3 baptisms the next 2 weeks (I’m hoping anyways !)

 We are going to  baptize this lady named Mirta . She’s wicked cool she has 4 kids and her husband just left them. Sad…
The other one is that little girl Nicole we are going to talk to her dad this week and get it all figured out.

 

Funny story:

We went did service project for a family the other day. We were cleaning the yard and we started a fire to burn all the dead branches and garbage around the yard. We had a little fire going so it didn’t get out of control and me and the member walk to the front yard to gather more garbage and  when we come back Elder Laurente my new companion started the huge pile on fire so we had to climb the trees and cut fast because he caught 2 trees on fire haha he’s a real special kid.

 

Did you put some money in my bank account? I need to buy water tonight.

The nurse called me and told me that she was going to get me that bomb pill …so I can get feeling better…Cool right? I just want to get feeling good again!

I took that member with us today to pizza hut for doing visits with us all week. His name is Gaspar he is a cool kid!

That’s Me, Elder Wolfgram and Gaspar.

 

Dad, I know I am good with the people I just wish I could be positive all time.. I think once I feel healthy I could be more positive.

I love you fam!

Good luck out there!

Pray for me and I will pray for you too!

Elder Osborne

Mom if you could just send package and put some water money in my account that would be great! I need to buy some and I’m dead broke just cause I had to pay for the power I’m hoping to get paid back in a couple of weeks!  I would love some sun flower seeds, chap stick and short socks.

I’m wearing a hoodie in this pic I don’t think I’m suppose to wear it because it say’s Yankees across the front of it but I wear it Because it gets cold here I need to get pants I only have a couple pair and some shoes here too! I do have a couple of thin and not warm sweaters its super cold ha I either have a long shirt or a shirt with a sweater cause I don’t have enough clean to have them both always hahaha and only have 2 pants that I use ha but its alright ha it will be warm soon!

I bought a shirt last week its a long one it was like 20 dollars and a Indian lady made it I will send a picture next week I’m only going to wear it for baptisms because need a white shirt and everything is yellow now haha 

This pic is the owners of our house I was teasing them told them we were just going to go home ant eat flour and water and so they invited us to eat at there houses sometimes now! And that’s there son Heraldo he loves me every time he sees me her runs and yells “Elmer!”  and gives me a hug we got in a water fight and that’s our water gun  we were on the same team vs all the big guys!

So yeah right here down the street from my house someone just got killed for 50 mil that’s like 10 dollars! So crazy!

Alright thanks Mom  and Dad…I love you have a great week :)  Tell Whit ,Shar, Wes and Sam I love them (didn’t hear from them this week) I’m doing good and loving my companion Elder Ortiz. We are tearing it up here We have 2 baptisms scheduled!
