Oct 17th - Oct 24th

So I don't quite remember all that happened this week.. but I'll d my best

Monday - we had a great PDay having a nerf war with the district then we went to go see Sharon. Where we taught the word of wisdom.

Tuesday - we don't have the car so we walked all day today with no luck and it rained on us. Kinda sucks. But we managed to go to the Bettweisers and talk and have a great time there, we received our transfer calls also.

Elder Espinoza is going to Lawrence, Mass. and I will be going to Dover Fox-Croft Maine with Elder Iverson!!

We where told we have to be packed and ready to go on Saturday and to not tell the district until Friday night. Elder Espinoza had a meeting in Lawrence and I will be going to Manchester for the weekend.

Wednesday - we had district meeting about charity and comp unity. We then went to the haven then out to dinner with brother Roderick and stopped by Vince Williams house to see how he is doing.

Friday - we did more walking and lots of packing. We then had a ward Halloween party

And said goodbye to the brown family and the rest of the ward. Super sad.


Saturday - we woke up and hit the road bright and early and I was with Elders Kulkarni, Nielson and Owens. Elder Owens and I hit the streets of Manchester and talked to Spanish people while Kulkarni and Nielson went to appointments. It was cool, we then had a dinner with the Banks family, they are a little off the wall, but full of love. After that we called it a night .

Sunday - I am here in the Manchester chapel, speaking more Spanish then I thought I would, it was so fun!! After church, we split and headed home to study and wait for Elder Nielson to pack. After, we had another dinner with the banks family then waited for elder Owens to get back.


So this week has been difficult and interesting. Sorry its so short but I will tell you why this is different. We have had many changes, elder Espinoza wrote me and this is what he said.

" He told us that all the Lawrence elders had a meeting with president on Saturday and that we would be picked up by the assistants to take me down to Lawrence. So we prepared. The assistants picked us up and we got back down to Lawrence for a meeting with president at 2. There were 8 of us in the room all Spanish speakers except for Elder Sealy who is our district leader down here for the moment. As we had the opening prayer that Sister Blair offered (our mission presidents wife) she was crying and we all realized that something was weird. President then proceeded to tell us how Lawrence and Methuen were being put into a new stake called the Northshore, Massachusetts stake and Lawrence and Methuen would be a part of this stake. The stake however is in the Boston Mission... so to make this a little bit shorter all 8 of us Elder Bills, Elder Strong, Me(elder Espinoza), Elder Miller, Elder Richens, Elder Stephens, Elder Hall, and Elder Sealy are being transferred to the Boston Mission!"




Long story short, the Lawrence ward doesn't exist in the mission anymore, and neither does a Spanish area in the mission.... which changes SO MUCH!! Portsmouth is now the designated "Spanish Area" now. In Dover Maine, where I'm going, there used to be Spanish elders that got lots done, so now I'll have to work super super hard. And some of my best friends are now in the Boston mission, and I have no hope of being "immersed" in the Spanish area... I need all prayers and advice, I'm using it loads. I'll keep going.


I love you all, thanks for all you do!!
Con mucho amor de
