Hola,

Me and Elder Salazar have been working hard this week. He is a real good missionary and I'm excited to work with him this transfer. He's pretty funny, too. He is from Sandy, Utah. He goes home in November. He was called as English speaking but got changed to Spanish this last transfer. His parents are from Columbia and he grew up speaking Spanish. He is a licensed message therapist and he used to be a cheerleader (the cool kind not the weird kind). Yesterday we decided that his new nickname is "Spooks" because his birthday is on Halloween.

We found a bunch of new investigators this last week and have been getting a lot of work done on the Spanish side of things.

I think I mentioned before about the elderly lady who passed away. Well, we taught her son and niece this past week and he has a baptismal date set for June 18th. He is a really good guy.

We played the longest game of Uno with one of our investigators and his family. Despite the name of the game being Spanish, Spanish speakers don't actually know how to play. That was surprising!

Being the end of the month, we've been pressed for miles, so yesterday for P-day we hung out with Julio and Jocelyne, the two kids who got baptized awhile back. We went to the park/rec center and played some indoor soccer. I didn't do so well.

Since I've been companions with Elder Salazar we've been to Denny's three times...and two of those times were in the same day.


Love,


Elder Wiest
