Hola mis queridos!

Bueno, this is Elder Comte’s first change as a ZL, so he’s pumped to get out there and get the zone pumped as well. Unfortunately, it’s pretty slow going still, even though we’re working our butts off. We’re living with Elder Gage, who showed up in the end of September, with Elder Shumway, and now he’s training Elder Hill. I have no clue how Elders in other parts of the world (cough the states..) work all day long! Because everyone is just out in the street and you can talk to anyone, it’s just so easy to ‘get the numbers’ here. We’re having trouble getting the amazing people we have to progress right now though.

We have a couple main investigators right now. Juliana went to church on Sunday, to Stake Conference, and she’s way awesome, but her boyfriend, the guy she lives with, is an inactive member who smokes and drinks and doesn’t want anything to do with the church, and she knows she needs to get married or break up, and she doesn’t want to get married. I can’t blame her, I wouldn’t get married to her loser boyfriend either. She is young, only 20, so we’ll see what happens. What’s awesome about that though is that we’re activating this inactive girl with her, because we got her all excited and put her with the responsibility of being the friend of Juliana and making her feel comfortable in church. Her name is Cinthia, and she’s 18. We have another lady named Liz who is cool, planning on getting married to her less active husband and get baptized, and also Marisa, who is a stud and loves the church. Her sister loves it too, but she needs to get married and is planning on it, but it’ll be a little bit farther down the road. We still need to just find newer better people to teach, because we’re running thin right now.

That’s awesome that Cole is a stud! When is his baptism going to be? Is he getting super excited? I’m touched that he keeps all of my old photos, that’s pretty cool. But yeah, I got my Halloween package, and its awesome! I’m glad you’ll be heading down to PA for Thanksgiving. How’s Grandpap Jones doing? And tell Aunt Audrey I’m excited to see her in church to hear my talk haha.

But about schools, what does LDSBC offer? I was looking at it a little bit in the brochures that Haley sent me, and it really just doesn’t seem like it has anything that I’d like to do. I’ll take a look at it again though. It’s so hard to tell you what it is that I want to do over email, because it can’t be explained well in written words. I don’t even know how to describe it to myself what I want to do, I can just feel like the tip of what it is, but the ideas are still developing. Anyways, love ya lots,

Elder Dennis

PS Does Haley write Elder Adamson? If she does, tell him that I'll be on the lookout. Haha.
