Transfer 3 Week 2

Hey Guys :) I miss you all soooooo much. This week has been so good; we've been having a lot of fun and success. Elder Blackwell and I had our first Baptism together, and it was really good. When we were teaching him, his friend who baptized him would joke about holding him under the water for super long. They're extremely funny; every time we go over there we spend a lot of the time laughing.

We also just found out that we can accept food from members now, but still can’t eat in their houses which is sad but we can get food so I mean it's still good haha. We already got some Chilean bread and dang that was some really good stuff, keep it coming people ya know?

We still teach English class and have so many funny moments during those. The last lesson we helped teach about what foods we like and practiced conversations about it, "no I do not want fish, I don't like the taste" all that cool stuff.

We had Zone conference too which was really good. That's when all the people from the zone get together and do some training and hear from our mission President, President Call and his wife. We learned a lot of cool stuff and had a good time, I even got to be in a role play in front of everyone and I was named Stephen during it. They even gave us subway sandwiches afterwards.

We also went to this place called Tucanos with the Zone leaders for Elder Gray’s birthday which has all you can eat meat, so we ate all the meat that we could. Ten of us eating heaps and heaps of meat. Oh yeah and a salad and entrees bar sort of thing. I even tried chicken heart, little weird feeling, but it wasn't too bad taste wise. We literally ate for an hour and 45 minutes straight without stopping. Afterwords we all felt like we were gonna die a little bit. It started off as a competition but at the very end you could tell we were all suffering a bit. But we’re all doing good now so don't be worried one bit.

We have had a little bit of trouble with finding new people once again this week, so we have some new strategies to try out. Please pray for us hahah. We could definitely use some help out here.

Funny thought: BIG NEWS, we went to Cabela’s today for pretty much no reason, and we bought Turkey Calls. Like for hunting. We’re just using them for fun but it still makes me laugh.

Spiritual thought: this week during Zone Conference President call mentioned that we’re not always sure why something may be happening to us at a moment in time, and that we never know what we are being prepared for in the future. So think about that. These times may be tough but we might be very thankful in the future for how hard things have helped us become stronger.

Well I really love you all, and you are in my prayers. Stay strong and stay swag.

Sincerely,
-Elder Golden
