My New Area

Right now I am in Cerro; it is so very different then Rivera- picture the Ghetto part of down town Phoenix. Then picture little old me, right in the middle, all day with nothing.. ;) Well I got all the host of heaven protecting me, so i guess that is something. ;) I can see the skyline from my area, and that is awesome. I can see the ocean, and I am about a 20 minute taxi ride outside down town Deo, which is good. It's getting warm, just like it's getting cold back home; that is weird. It's all good, I love the heat a million times over the cold, so I will be just fine for now. My new comp - elder Draper, is the greatest missionary that is in the field. I love him very much. He has helped me so much with my Spanish, I have come so far with him, and it's only been a week so I can't wait to see what will happen at the end of this change. Which it's by they way, my 6 month birthday, so I am totally excited about that. So if you all feel so inclined to write me  a special letter i would be very grateful for that.:) Everyone who is reading this, even if you just happened upon this blog on google, write me a letter!!!! I AM DIEING OUT HERE!!!!! With lots of love that is. ;) Change will need to be my new best friend, it has been hard and we don't get along all the time, but I am doing my best, I pray for my enamies, and it seems to help me at least. Maybe change will be good to me, maybe we can become the best of friends ;) ......yeah, or maybe not. ;)

I am still doing the whole doctor thing. Now that I am in Montevideo, I can do a lot more. With the doctors that is, my headaches still have not gone away and some nights are worse then others. But my love for this people goes all the way to the top, menos the doctors. 8/8/13 is when this whole thing started, and I am still dealing with it. I don't mean to point fingers, but HELLO PEOPLE; you can't tell me that is a tad ridiculous!!!!! Oh well, onwards and upwards. I will see if I can't send a pic or two real quick, if not, chow chow for this week,

Transfered!

I pray all is well with the big old happy family. I am hanging in there, these past few weeks have been such a roller coaster, from interviews to conference, to changes, to saying goodbyes. Onwards and upwards, vamos arriba!!!! I said goodbye to the city I grew to love this last Friday, it was the hardest thing I have had to do. I grew to love them, and to say goodbye took all I had. I know that the relationships that I created with ellos, will be with me for my life and for the vida que is coming. I got my change to Montevideo, Zona Cerro and the area Los Torres. I don't know what that all means, Cerro is the most dangerous zone in the mission, and it makes perfect sense to send this big brolly white boy to the city. ;) Oh well it is going to be fine. ;) I have fe- I leave tonight at midnight, and begin a new adventure tomorrow. ;) Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store! Besides that I am doing pretty good, I can feel your prayers, and I thank you eternally for them. I need them, and am thankful for them, I can't send pictures today but next week I will. See, I am going from a country bumpkin to a high rolling city boy. Wish me luck! ;)

Vaya Con Dios!

Searching for the lost

I am doing well, and awesome! Here is a bit of the work that we have been doing out in the vineyard of the Lord. Due to recent changes we have changed our focus from investigators to Menos Activos (less active). We need to double the attendance in the sacrament meeting. With our numbers out in Tranqueras being 15 in the sacrament meeting we need only to get it to 30, but that is a task a mile high. We have done our best looking for Priesthood holders, but all that we have are surly diamonds in the rough, and I mean rough but there is one, and he is who I am really working for. He is a menos activo, he has the Melchizedek Priesthood, he works in Brazil as a crane operator. With a lot of time away he quickly fell away, bringing with him a mistress and a child. After meeting with us a few times he has done all that he can do to come back. He has done all that he needs to be fellowshiped once more. He is now a strong member. He still has not received the Melchizedek, but he is on the way. There are those that have gone far, there are those who have just let go. We need to find all of them. Sometimes going out to find them is difficult, some are hiding under rocks, and won't come out to save there lives. Some have tasted of wonderful fruit and have been ashamed and want no part of anything but we work with them all. I feel like a firefighter, I don't want anyone in the great and spacious building when it falls. I want them all on firm ground by the tree where everyone else will be. My Spanish is now perfect, much much better. I was thinking about this, if I could go back to the CCM with the Spanish I have now, I feel like I could really learn something from the teachers, (sorry I am Uruguayan ) ( a person from Uruguay?) very distracted, and always going off topic. ;) I still  point a lot, and describe things in whatever way I can. At the baptism we had, I could not describe the Holy Ghost really well, so I just said something along the lines of when you do what you are told, when you follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost is very happy with you and he does a little dance.  Then I preceded to do a little dance so that everyone could see. 1, yes it was fun and cute, but that the Holy Ghost really is happy when we follow his whisperings 2. it showed that it is important to be happy. Even when the holy ghost comforts us when we are sad. we can all do a little dance to be a bit happier- since then, the members come up to me and say, "have you been listening to the holy ghost?" and start dancing. It's really cute and I always say SI!! and do my little dance. ;) It's super cute.

More Pictures

 Two places at once, the markers of Brazil and Uruguay.

 some views are worth it ;)

Me at the Temple Uruguay Montevideo.

S'mores

I love hearing all the new news. I loved the pictures, well I would have if they would have came through. The first one did but the other two did not. So if you would not mind sending those again I would be grateful. I am so excited to hear he is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRECKEN BREWER BLAKE!!!!!!!! I approve, you can tell him he has my approval, even more so if he looks like me. ;) I sent you a picture of me at a family home evening where we were making, yep you guessed it, S'MORES!!!!! Mom sent me the stuff, and man were they good! We are a few weeks late from Labor Day, but it was better than nothing. No one has ever had one, they see it on the movies, but never ate them before. So we are changing lives down here, one s'more at a time. ;) I don't have much time today, but just for an update, I am in Brazil again today. ( yep we are cool Vonda) The branch is struggling, but we are pulling the weeds. I will be sure to add more next week.

Love you tons, give Brecken a big kiss for me.
