Week 18 McAllen, Texas

Mom,

This week was pretty normal. We got transfer calls and I am staying in McAllen with Elder Roper for another 6 weeks. So that is super cool. We are really excited.


Not much is happening here. Church was good. Test was good. We didn't end up helping out anywhere. We just got to sit back and enjoy the ride.


No chats with President Ocampo yet but he is super cool. We have seen him around every once in a while and he is a super cool guy.


Nothing super crazy happened this week. Things are as usual.


Not much is going on. Just the usual.


Hope you have a great week.


Love,

Elder Goodbaudy

Week 15 McAllen, Texas

Mom,


This week was good. It has been super hot. The weather has been in the 110's pretty much all week. So it has been very hot.


I'm glad to hear that all is well. It sounds like things have been going well there.


Honestly not much is new. I'm still just doing the usual. We found a lot of people this week and a lot came to church so that was super nice.


Church was good. We didn't really help a lot at church. We just enjoyed the meetings.


But yeah, we have a mission-wide conference tomorrow since President Torres is leaving soon. So that should be super cool. It sounds like it will be super fun.


So that's pretty much it. All is as usual here.


I hope you have a great week.


Love,

Elder Goodbaudy

Weeks 13 &14 McAllen, Texas

Mom,

Sorry for not emailing last week. We were super busy and we didn't have a lot of time.


The past 2 weeks have been good. My new companion is Elder Roper. We have been having a good time so far.  I'm still here in McAllen so all has been good.


Things are going well here and honestly not much is new. Things are as usual here, it is super hot.


The Temple 2 weeks ago was amazing. It was so cool and such an awesome experience.

(Elder Goodbaudy at the San Antonio Temple)

At church we went into one of the primary classes for the last 10 minutes and we talked about missionary work.


Food is good as usual, we had really good beef ribs the other day with a member.

We cover the whole ward now since they took other missionaries out to go somewhere else so that has kept us busy.


That's pretty much it.

Hope you have a great week.


Love,

Elder Goodbaudy

Week 12 McAllen, Texas

Mom,

This one will be pretty short, sorry, it's been a fast paced day.


The big news for this week is that my old companion Elder Frey went home on Wednesday. He was feeling homesick so he went home to recover.


So Wednesday I got a new companion, Elder McDonald, he finishes up his mission in a week when the transfer ends. So yeah. It's been a crazy few days.


Anyway, other than that. We're just chilling. We have transfers next week and so we will see what happens.


Yeah, the other fun news is that for the first part of Wednesday I didn't have a companion so I went with one of the AP's to Brownsville, to pick up a missionary. So that was fun, it was weird being back in Brownsville after a year.


However Wednesday afternoon I went with another one of the AP's to go pick up McDonald and he was in La Joya so we got to go back there. (Jaden's first area was LaJoya) That was another crazy experience, seeing that place again.


All in all crazy week. But it's been good.


Also we are going to the Temple on Friday! So that should be cool. I will probably email on the way up to the Temple and on the way back. If not, I'll talk as usual on Monday. They haven't exactly told us how that all works.


Anyway, hope you have a great week.


Love,
Elder Goodbaudy

Week 11 McAllen, Texas

Mom,


Well, nothing has changed since our talk yesterday. Everything is the same here. This one will be short because nothing really happened this week. Just lots of meetings and other things like that.


Other than that I am still chilling here in McAllen.


I'm glad the Blazers won. I guess blessings really do come from serving a mission. Hahaha


But that's all folks.


Hope you have a great week.


Love,

Elder Goodbaudy
