Week 2 Corpus Christi, Texas

Hey Mom, 


That is good that the weather is cooling off. It is for us too which has been super nice. We have had some good rain storms as well which has cooled it down, but it has also brought mosquitos, which are not fun here. 

Being a DL is good, not much changes. You just have more responsibility, and you get more hear when things don't go the way they should, which is why I try to avoid messing up.

Well that's good that I was cute, probably got me out of a lot of trouble when I was younger. 

Testimony meeting was good. Everyone was pretty good about sharing real testimonies and not going on and on.

Church was good. I ended up sharing the first vision in a primary class so that was cool. Also 3rd hour was 5th Sunday so we talked about emergency preparedness, which I thought was pretty cool and pretty applicable considering the hurricane that happened last year.

I have been trying to talk in Spanish and study in Spanish as much as I can so that I can keep it up.

No favorite scripture this week, but I was reading some general conference talks back in 1979, I was also reading Neal A. Maxwell's last tall before he passed away in 2004. Those were super good, definitely should read conference talks. Especially with conference next week.

There are only sisters in the district so no splits. I am a DL over 4 sisters. However this week I did go on a split with one of our zone leaders which was a lot of fun.

Hump day package... I can't think of anything. Maybe a gospel book to read, I don't know. 

Favorite meal, was yesterday. We ate with a family in the ward, and we had cafe Rio inspired, pork salad which was delicious. It was cool too because they live on the military base here in Corpus so we got to go onto the base. 

I think our ward primary program is in 3 weeks. I'm not sure. 

Cool experience this week was that Saturday while on an exchange with one of our zone leaders we had a meal appointment where a lady in their ward made us a huge thanksgiving lunch, we don't know why but she did. So that was super good.

We also ended up eating at an Asian restaurant with a member who was visiting here from Boston. However she was born in Israel, that was cool. She was traveling from Boston where she lives and she wanted to meet with us missionaries so she took us to eat at that restaurant. So we talked to her about life in Israel which was super cool to hear about. 

Favorite hymn in Spanish.... hmmm. I don't know. All the hymns sound really cool in Spanish. 

I just have to prepare meetings every Tuesday, just something that we can learn about, like a missionary skill or something like that. It isn't super difficult. 

I think that is pretty much it for the week.

Hope you guys have a great week and I will talk to you in seven days.

Also for sending my package let me double check what address to send it to since I am so far away from McAllen. So I will let you know next week where to send it. 

Love,
Elder Goodbaudy
