Dear Family and Friends:

Thank you for your letter. I´ll try to write what I can. I'm having a little party for my district that I'm super late for. Quick news though, our zone had the most baptisms in the mission and my district had the most in the zone....so....my district is the best in the whole mission lol.

And as far as changes goes, I'll find out what's going on this night. One of our zone leaders got taken to the office yesterday, so I'm pretty sure he's going to be the new assistant, so lucky. But from what I've been told I'm either going to be doing one of two things this next change. 1. I'm going to be training, most likely a gringo. or 2. I'm going to be the new zone leader for Coatepeque. That's just what I've been told....so we´ll see tonight.

I can't belive you're in California right now!!! So lucky, one day I´ll go there.
You definately need to send a lot more photos of Ryno´s office. Me and the other elders were flipping out over those....suave chapín, lol.

So yeah you guys have an awesome, English filled, Mountain Dew drinking, air conditioned week, and I´ll call you in a few weeks, lol.

Love you tons!

How are you this week?? Are you still wiped out like you were last week, or did you get some rest?

This week was a lot better than the last. We didn't get to work as much because we had stake conference and a lot of other meetings but yeah, great happy week overall.

How do the transfers work? Do you go to the mission home, or what?

No, we go to the mission office which is in one of the churches here in Reu, and then they ship us off to our new areas.

What was your favorite contact or experience this week?

Probably last night, nothing spiritual, acutally we pretty much just bummed out last night, lol. One of the members was making the amazing little tacos and we just hung outside of their house listening to Enrique Iglesias ,eating tacos, playing with kids, and relaxing. Usually I would be against such things but it might be my last Sunday (Domingo) in Amparo, sooooo yeah.

Spiritual experience to share?

The" Infinite Atonement" is such a good book and has given me some really awesome ideas for teaching and helping my district become like walking Gods here in Coatepeque.

Are 2 more pair of shoes and boots going to last your mission, or should we be thinking of sending you more shoes?

Ummmm. Maybe lol. There is these shoes called, propéts, maybe you can find them on ebay. A lot of the missionaries have them and they look really comfortable. Good looking Walmarts will probably last me just as well too.

Do you need a new belt? Is that something you can get there?

No, I've got that brown one with like a million holes and I've made some new holes in my black one. We're good.

Best thing you ate this week?

Those tacitos that I ate last night, I must have killed off about 30 of those little babies.


How many little kids do you have in your branch, or how many do you come in contact with you every day?

Like 15-20, and they loved those rings and little candies you sent them. Thank you.


Do they love the Elders like the kids here do?

I believe so.....who knows lol.

Love,
E. Marquis
