10.13.13 Cerro, Uruguay


Elder Xavier is awesome and is going to go to BYU after this so he can speak English pretty well. He loves how hard I work and how well I know the area. With Elder Camejo gone, I have to work harder, talk more with the bishop and people. Elder Camejo would do all the planning because he knew everything there was to know about our area, so now I am applying what I have learned from him.  Elder Xavier says that I am incredible and Elder Camejo has taught me really well. Also, he is shocked with how good my Spanish is. I had to go to the Center of Montevideo to sign papers for residency or something and got to see all of my pals from the CCM. It was a huge confidence builder because they are all struggling to communicate!! Also, they heard about what goes on in my area and loved all of my stories so it was a fun experience. 

Advise for Gavin...idk, work super hard in high school and take as many college courses in high school because they are so much easier than in college. Also, study the scriptures (REALLY ACTUALLY STUDY) because they help with everything. Be healthy and get used to all different types of foods. Learn to serve others and love it...the Lord will bless you more when you bless the lives of others. Don't have a girlfriend or get attached to one girl. So many missionaries have problems with their girlfriends or worry about them all the time and honestly, it’s the biggest waste of time. Idk, honestly the only things he should be worried about are school, scripture study and his sports.

Honestly our family could have done a lot more to help the missionaries with finding people to teach the gospel. Everything is going well here and starting to get hot. I don't have as much time this Monday because I was signing papers and stuff in the inner city so I’ll write more next week. Love you.
