¡Hola Familia! Well, my life was crazy about two hours ago!! Elder Hill and I cut our hair and then I went to get the mail and we found two letters that told us that all the missionaries in my district (Elder Hill, Elder Bahr, and Elder Packard and I) received “temporary assignments” and then the sister in the travel services department told Elder Hill and I that we have to leave at three this Friday (2-3-2012) in the morning!!!
Elder Hill and I were really scared and very excited!! But (i'm just gonna write in ingles now because i want to make sure you get what i'm trying to say) the card said that we don't leave until next friday. So elder hill and i are going to fortworth texas, spanish speaking NEXT FRIDAY, 2/10/12, and elder packard and bahr are going to boise! haha i'm so glad i'm not going there! although i don't want to be near dallas either without a raiders tie!
We will be there until our visas come and we can call you for five minutes so make sure you answer your phone! idk when i can call but just be ready. and we are not leaving until next friday ( 2-10-12) (Elder Coffman switches back to Spanish here) the day after Mother’s birthday! And also, I already sent letters to the Lloyd family and the Parkinson family so you should tell them that I am not leaving tomorrow (2-3-2012). Thanks.
Well, this week went really well. Last night, Elder Hill and I taught our TRC progressing investigator for 30 minutes! It went really well!!! And he told us that Elder Hill and I were the first ones to commit him to being baptized and he has worked at the MTC for a long time! But he told me that I still need to practice more, but my Spanish is good also.
Now I feel that I can love all the people with a strong love…like charity. It is a little weird because before my mission, I couldn’t love strangers, but now I can, and I love it! And also, now I know the importance of the Book of Mormon. Well family, will you read the Book of Mormon every day individually and also as a family? And also, you should kneel every day when you pray because it shows more respect for God and his Son, Jesus Christ. I love the Book of Mormon and since I am going to tell investigators that they should read every day, maybe you all can do the same?
Papi, gracias for the wetwipes! I love them!! And now the Superbowl is not important. And I ate a can of sardines for dinner Thursday because I couldn’t eat in the cafeteria because it was the 50th anniversary of the MTC and there was a ton of people there. Elder Holland and Elder Nelson spoke to us and gave us good talks. And now it doesn’t matter to me who wins the Superbowl, but even so, tell me what happens. Gracias. I love you Papi and I received all the things and I don’t need more. Muchas gracias for everything.
Michelle! I saw your name in the newspaper! How cool!!! How is your school? Well, I love you a lot.
Mother, happy birthday! I am going to give you a letter still, but it might be later. Good job in your exam! You too fox! I love feeling the Spirit and I pray every night. And the food is fantastic, but yes, I eat healthy every day because I don’t want to be fat jaja I love you. This Wednesday, I was a host, and it made me feel sad because it was the first time that I missed you all because I was with other new missionaries and their families and it made remember you, but now I am good. I am way too busy to have missing feelings. I love you!!
Stephen, the sisters told me that suave is funny!! Jaja did you get my letter? Well, I am sorry, I have to go now because I don’t have more time. I am sorry fox, but hopefully you have a great week! And also every night I say “ojalá que duerma con los ángeles” to my companion.
Goodbye and I love you familia!!
Élder Coffman
