Dear Mom and family,
Im glad as usually to hear that you all are doing well. I know that there have been some struggles with football but sometimes you learn and grow even more from losing then winning. The tough part is putting what you learn in practice and never doubting.
Things are really good here. My new companions name is Elder Tua´one. He is from San Bernadino California and is a really cool guy. His parents and from tonga and he goes to a Tongan ward back home.
We havent had much time to work in are area lately b.c of the translating we did but thats ok b.c it went really really well. We translated for doctors of the navy and air force and we were able to contact and invite alot of people to church that went through there. We were also able to teach alot of the military and volunteers there and give them a great example of the church. I really wish that we had had pamphlets and books of mormon in english that we could have given them but we were still able to have quite a few gospel discussions with them which was awesome. We translated in a place called puerto Barrios and the attendace at church this week was really high there and i really believe it was because of what we did with translating. It was also so cool to meet alot of volunteers and military that were members of the church. There were quite a few people from Utah there.
Dad had a question to know if the medical terms were hard and yeah there was some stuff that was pretty hard to translate and there was alot of stuff that i had to say that i never thought i would say in spanish but its all good, it helped my spanish alot and i really really enjoyed it. Now we just need to get back to work in my area.
Im really excited about the changes that we had in the zone. There are alot of elders that ive worked withe before that have moved into the zone including 2 of my old comps (Brunsvick and Nadeau). There are also alot of new elders in the zone which i believe will bless us alot. This zone has alot of potential we just have to put in the work and be worthy of the blessings.
I hope you have alot of fun for Erics Birthday. I am praying for you all all of the time. I know that this is the greatest work that i can be doing right now and pray always for the strength to do what is right and follow the spirit.
Love,
Elder Vincent
