Week 9 Brownsville, Texas

Hey Mom,

The week was good. We played soccer and basketball this morning for P-day. It was fun. 

Yeah this week went by really fast too. It is crazy to think that in a few months I will have been out for a year. 

No primary classes this week. Our empty week was last week, but every one is coming back from vacation now so all is well.

Yeah we are meeting a lot of people. We are just trying to talk to everyone we can. 

Yes it is very hot here. It has been in the high 90's with about 50% humidity every day.

There were coyotes in the field?! Really?! That is crazy. (The Saturday before this email to Jaden we woke up to find 2 coyotes in the big field across the street from our house. )

Most inspiring thing was zone conference this week where President Torres talked about consecration and how when we are consecrated and we give our all, we can align our will with God's and he can magnify our abilities. 

Most interesting was that we had this investigator who kept trying to tell us that she is saved by grace. So we had to explain to her that we are saved by grace upon the conditions of repentance. So that was interesting to talk about.

Another interesting thing is that I have been studying the Old Testament along with the Institute student manual. That has been super insightful and really interesting to read.

Best food this week was actually down carne that we had yesterday after church. It was delicious. We also had green spaghetti which was super good. 

Can't think of anything else I want for my birthday. Feel free to surprise me. 

Anyway this week was really good. We had some good lessons and some good times. 

It is good to hear that all continues to go well back home. 

Tell everyone I say hi.

Love

Elder Goodbaudy

There is a member in one of the Brownsville wards that gives all of the missionaries "Deeno-saur" names. Elder Goodbaudy is the "Salt-N-Pepasaurus" named such for the song "Body Beautiful" by Salt-N-Pepa. I am not sure what the missionaries did but Bro. Perez put them all in "Deeno-Detention". Below is Elder Goodbaudy's mugshot!
