Woodburn- super pumped

I totally forgot to tell you guys that transfers were coming up.. it was a big suprise because i got Transferred!! I'm now in Woodburn which apparently is about the most mexican place in the mission.. street signs, stores, etc. are in spanish. To add to that i now have a spanard. WE SPEAK SPANISH. it is so nice. obviously we have to speak english sometimes because.. we are still in america. but ... haleluja! its going to be so much easier to speak because the option to speak english is kind of gone. he speaks it.. just not very good.. not to be negative but this companionship might be a little struggle with teaching though.. but they all do so we will work things out..  both of our end results are to help everyone become converted to the gospel. its all good..

 

I am super excited for this area. i don't know anybody but i know its going to be awesome.. when all of the greenies entered i just got super pumped about everything.. i have no idea how and don't know why.. its like all of their greenie faith lit mine up again.. which is awesome. how did i lose mine? did i lose my "greenie fire"?.. now that I'm thinking about it i lost a little bit of it. maybe the faith part.. but that doesn't matter because now I'm super pumped! more pumped than when i first got into the field. even  more ready to change lives and convert people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.. i know this transfer is going to be a little harder then others, but I know its going to be worth it..

I love you guys a lot. I to pray for you guys.

 

Love elder garlock

Fishing

For the record i did not chip any of my front teeth.. just the back one. so its not that big of a deal. 

 

We have been super busy the past couple of weeks, we have been teaching a lot.. and yet we haven't really seen success.. its really kind of sad. It's like everyone who starts progressing slips through our fingers and we can't teach them anymore. It's like going fishing and the fish is on the hook and almost in the boat but then something happens and its gone.. it is super discouraging because this has been an ongoing process for.  Well basically my whole mission. I know I can't get discouraged, because that's not what we do out here. It's hard but I know it will pay off eventually, we just have to keep being faithful. On a more happier note about a week ago we started to act out stories in the book of Mormon and people love it. it is so fun to do. I'm just so glad that the small  things always outweigh the bad things.
