Thats so cool that Logan went to the temple. I am so excited for him. I think
he will probably be going to the Provo MTC. or at least not Brazil yet. I dont
know. (Editors
note: Alec’s cousin, Logan, was called
to the Brazil, Florianopolis Mission. He received his visa on August
8 and left August 14 for the Sao Paulo MTC).
I havent heard anything on my visa yet
either. Still just waiting. Aunt Wendy sent an email saying that Ben was
transferred (Editors
Note: Alec’s cousin, Ben, was
transferred from Benton, AR, to Humbolt, TN). I told her that I need
to write him or something. It just stinks that I can only write on Mondays and
even then things are still pretty busy. That is super awesome that Van and
Wendy are going too. (Editors Note: My
sister, Wendy and her husband Van were called to the Washington Tacoma Mission
to serve a one-year mission as office assistants at the mission home). That
would be a lot of fun.
So yes I am now in another trio and
also still in Brownsville. Elder Torres is still one of them. And the other one
is Elder Guillette, like the razors. He has been out for 10 months. He is from
Idaho. I like him a lot. And yes I met the new President. They are from Chili.
He speaks, Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French. I dont think his wife
speaks English but I dont know. They are really cool though. They have 4
children here with them. One son is on a mission right now. And a daughter
is at BYU I think. I think that is all of their kids.
I havent heard to much about the new
dress code. I dont know how it will affect us with the side bags. I wouldnt
expect it to because it seems that its just not professional looking to wear
backpacks with suits. But we only wear suits on Sundays for church. All other
times we are in our white shirts. We havent heard about any changes in the
mission so far.
So I guess you got my package from the
email you just sent. I hope you all like them. (Editors note: Alec sent a box of ties for his brothers and
cousins. It included a list with each persons name and a description of which tie
goes to that person).
I really dont have much to say about
investigators because we pretty much just dropped all of them this week because
none were making much progress. They werent coming to church and doing the
things that they need to do! Well I have to go. I am out of time. I will see
you next week. I hope you have a great week. I love you!
