Corpus Christi, Texas

Hey Mom,

So we had transfer calls last night. Crazy news!! I am leaving San Benito and going up North to Corpus Christi, serving basically on North Padre island. I will also be District Leader so it should be interesting. I am super excited. I am sad I only got to spend 6 weeks in San Benito but it was a really good time. 

We thought we would be getting a hurricane but it looks like we won't. The weather has cooled down nicely. It has still been humid thanks to the rainshowers we have gotten but at least it has cooled down. 

The week was pretty good. Not much new happened. 

Church was good. There were only 75 people there though because Saturday was Mexico's  Independence Day. There was also a big boxing match between a Hispanic guy and a Filipino guy, the fight started at like 11:00 pm so everybody was up late partying. 

We helped out at church by teaching the young men during 3rd hour. I also helped out our Branch President with some stuff after church. 

Food was really good this week. It usually is, so no complaints. 

We had a good lesson with a lady who said she was Catholic and fine with where she was but she kept asking us questions and so we ended up having a good lesson with her. 

Most inspirational thing this week was a zone meeting we had reflecting on what we learned from the General Authorities. It was super good.

Most difficult was biking, as per usual. However up in Corpus we will have a car so no more of that for the foreseeable future.

Favorite scripture for this week isn't a scripture. They released the book Saints and it is available on Gospel library. It is so good. If you haven't started reading it then start. It is so good.

After having 2 companions that speak Spanish I feel pretty good about my abilities. I can understand pretty much everything people say. Speaking wise I'm not awful but practice always helps. 

That is pretty much all the news for the week. Hope all goes well at home and that you guys have a good week.

Sorry no pictures. Definitely will be some next week though. 

Love,

Elder Goodbaudy
