Mamasita y familia!
SOOOOO, I'M GONE! I'm out
of Sauga :( haha I'm actually happy at the same time but it still kinda
it rough! I loved it there! Its way big, lots of people and soooo much
diversity! I loved it! Now... I'm in a place called Kitchener! It is TINY
haha it really is so small, especially compared to Mississauga! in our
area we are covering about 3 other cities and they are Waterloo and
uhh... I don't remember the other but yeah, they are all pretty small! It
was a lot easier to throw all my things into a bag because I didn't worry
about the weight ha ha so that was a plus! My new companion is Elder
Mejia! He seems like a pretty cool guy! His family is from Mexico but
they live in Seattle right now, but they are still native speakers and
it was his first language! So I'm hoping that my Spanish might improve!
He speaks WAY fast and it really is way hard to understand but we'll see I guess!
Umm.. yeah I dunno really too many crazy stories! This last
week it rained Hippos and Elephants and I was Drenched ha ha! By the time
we ran to our car it was a waste because we were dripping wet! So we
just kept on tracting and knockin on the doors haha I think people
thought we were insane! Some said stuff like "do you ever stop?" haha it
was pretty sweet, it was pretty funny too when we would hand them these
soaking wet cards and they were just destroyed but still were preachin
and spreadin the good word no matter what!!!! One of the coolest
experiences of my mission so far though was going on exchanges with the
Zone Leaders again! I was fortunate enough to go with Elder Somerfeldt!
He is from Alberta Canada and has been out for just over a year and he
is SO awesome! He talks to everyone and works sooooo hard, but makes it
fun still! It made me realize we need to let loose and have fun but
still be missionaries!!! We had A LOT of lessons and were able to speak
with tons of people but one of the coolest things that I've ever done
was this... we were able to teach this Hungarian family ok.. a Mother,
Father and 11 year old son. The mother and father can't speak English at
all and their little boy would translate. But not only that but we had
to use Google translation to be able to communicate with them!! It was
pretty crazy! So we would translate and teach through that and the
little boy and it was just back and forth. We taught them some English
in the mean time too but talked about blessings because the mom is
prego! I thought she was going to pop right then and there!! She was
having contractions and was in a lot of pain and elder Somerfeldt gave
the little boy a blessing, then I gave the dad one and after he gave the
mom one.... it was SO intense... SO spiritual too! So he dropped the
spirit into them and everything... so listen to this, we left and just
went and did our thing and we found out the next day that she went into
labor and got to the hospital, had the baby and was back home in only 4
hours...... if that's not God's helping hand I don't know what is! It was a
testimony builder to the power of blessings and the priesthood for
sure! All and all that exchange was one of my favorite ones! They live
in this little house with the assistants to the president so I was able
to talk to them more! They are way cool guys, and guess what I found at
their house?? One of Chase Norton's tags haha! It was pretty cool!
This
week was a good one, I love Elder Steele a lot.. ,but now I kind of miss him. He was a good guy
for sure, helped me out a lot! But yeah, this is where the lord needs me
so yeah haha I better work hard! I hope all is well, I love getting your
guys updates! They make me super happy! I'm glad you guys are stayin the
incredible family that you are! :) Keep it up! You're always in my
thoughts and prayers! I love you :)
Forever and Always!
Elder Beyer
