Week 55

Well, this week was full of walking, rain, and more walking. We spent as much time on the streets trying to talk to people as mom did at PGHS (Last week, I was at work 65 hours... and school hadn't even started for the year yet). We weren't able to enter into any houses, but we have faith that this week will be better. 

As for my new designation, it is a bit different, but I am already used to it (4 of my 6 comps were district leaders). 

Other than the usual walk and talk, we said "see you later" (I hate good-byes) to Barbara this Wednesday which was kind of sad. She left for New York this Saturday. 

We also had zone conference this Thursday which was great. I always enjoy talking with president and other missionaries. As for me, I am good and healthy. My new companion is awesome and we are getting along great!

So ya, that about sums up my week. It is sweet to see how your weeks are going. Good luck at school this week, and with the house and work and the baby (Jessica) and everything else.

Love you all sooooooo much!!!!

Sincerely,

Elder Jardine

Week 54

This week was good. We had transfers and now my new companion is Elder Conceção of Senhor do Bomfim in the northern part of Brazil. He is a great guy and we are getting along great. He has 4 months on the mission, so he's my first companion that is younger than me (in the mission; he is actually 20). 
Also, I am now the new district leader so I am learning the ropes of that. So my week goes as follows:

• Tuesday-transfers
• Wednesday-district meting in the morning and hot chocolate night at the church.
• Thursday-Saturday-contacts in the morning and visits/appointments in the afternoon and at night.
• Sunday-Barbara's last Sunday in Brazil(she will leave for New York City on Saturday and then after a few days there she will be off to Maryland to be an au pair) and choir practice at night (I miss South Eugene choir).

So that was my week. I am growing physically and spiritually every day. The mission is not easy, but I am living through it and I don't regret it at all.

It is good to see how things are progressing there and I hope that everything continues to go well for you guys. Send me pictures and tell me how things are.

I love you all soooooooooooo much and I pray for you continually.

Sincerely,

Elder Jardine
