...I'm training and soooo happy right now!!!

Dear Family and Friends:

Alright, so I had changes....YES!!!!

My new zone is here in Retalhuleu..Reu. And I'm living with the zone leaders. This change is so weird....I`ll tell you more later.
And I'm training! Lol. It's kinda funny because in real life it takes 9 months to have a baby and I just hit 9 months and I just had my first kid!
His name is Elder Hafoka Mee Ofaloto Langi, he´s the coolest Tongan kid, and huge!!! He´s from Maui, Hawaii, 22, and is super chill and has just about completely gotten me convinced of moving to Hawaii after my mission... hope you all don't mind too much.

I'm sooooo happy right now though! His Spanish is alright...a lot better than mine was when I started. He is always soooo eager to talk and teach and just work. Usually when you have a kid (new missionary) that can't speak they just want you to do all the work, but not him... he loves working and teaching!!! I can almost guarantee that we´re going to have a lot of success down here in Las Palmas!

There are 4 of us in this one area Elder Langi, me, Elder Morgan, and my old companion, Elder Roan! We are all living in the same house which is soooooooo much nicer than my old house... we even have a shower!!! We´re still waiting for some new beds and all the stuff we need but I think we might just use hammocks for a while maybe...who knows.

I now have a ward and the attendance was 119 yesterday! A little more than my usual 50 or so, lol. The people are awesome and this area has a lot of money. I even saw someone driving a Mercedes. Like this area is pretty legit. The building is huge and we even have pews to sit on like we do back home. The bishop is so funny too. I gave him a tie the other day to try and get his trust and he wore it on Sunday which was really nice. The stake president just lives right around the corner from us so we are always eating really good food. It's like I have all of the benefits of being a zone leader without the stress and responsibility. I love training it's sooooooo much fun seeing him and where he's at and thinking I know where you're at man.

Are you really asking me if the weather is cold down here??? lolololololololololololololololololololl!!!! Its like in the 90s everyday. This is one of the hottest areas in the mission. So yeah I'm good on clothes for now, but thank you!

Yes, I'm pretty sure I've lost all of my pictures, but I'll take more, no worries.

I can't believe Christmas is almost here, everyone down here is preparing for it too... just with a little more heat lol.

Those photos of all the kids and Halloween party are so funnn. Little Russi as a tootsie roll, lol, so cute. And the little princesses. There are some kids I don't even recognize, so crazy.

LOl, its sooooo fun talking to all of the new kids (new missionaries) and seeing them going "Man...this mission is never going to end!" and here I am about to hit a year!!!! The time has gone by sooooo fast!

Anyways, thank you all for everything, I love you, and have a great week!!!!
Love,
Elder Brandon Marquis
