Well Things are going pretty well up here. We just got our transfer calls today. I'm staying here, in Alamosa. And I'm getting a comp that i have actually had before. The first two days i got to alamosa E castillo was up in Springs for leadership training stuff. So i went aroudn and tracted for a while with him. He is a pretty cool guy. Happens to be from El Salvador too. Im just not sure if he was born there or not. But his name is Elder Olivares. So I am kinda glad i get to be with him. I think he will help me out a lot.
But this past week was interesting. Unfortunately we did more English work then Spanish. But i did get to go visit some members and talk to them and also do some tracting. And go and visit some investigators. And its just cool because i HAD to depend on myself for the spanish. So i think that helped a little. It was just hard not being able to talk to him in spanish during the day. But this past week went by pretty slow for me. I dont know why, maybe just cuz our comps left and things were just different. Idk. But I'm excited to stay down here and get more familiar with the members down here. Cuz i love the members down here. They are awesome and are all willing to help me.
So with work this past week. We foudn some investigators, but not for spanish so it kinda stinks. But i have faith that we will be able to find some people to teach and baptize this transfer. I'm really excited to be with this guy, he was pretty awesome being with me and stuff. But other than that things are pretty much the same. And things are going great down here!!
Congrats with the new Baby!! :) Thats exciting. Wish i could be there to see it. I love you all!! Talk to you next tuesday!!
Love,
Elder Kingsley

This week has been alright. Elder Castillo is getting ready to leave. He leaves wednesday and im gonna be getting an english companion for about a week until next transfers which is wednesday. And then i will hopefully get a latino. And im pretty sure i am. so hopefully that works out.
We have a guy that lives above us. He is from puerto Rico. he is super cool and very supportive. They gave him the first lesson but he wasnt interested. But he helps me with my spanish. He went out and bought a book for me on helping me practice spanish and verbs like that. How awsome is that? i love that man. He took us out to dinner on saturday too for elder castillo. So that was really awesome. He loves music too. so i talked to him about different types of spanish music and things like that. Investigators are a little slow this week. Its hard to teach them. But were working hard and trying to get some baptisms. I love our branch. they are awesome and they help me with my spanish and stuff. So things are going well. We actually ate with the Peruvian yesterday again and it was Cau cau? Or algo asi. made with some part of a cow? idk i wasnt the biggest fan. But they knew elder castillo, and i made it so that i could come back and eat with them again even after he left! So im excited for that.
Man sounds like Greer was exciting and relaxing! ha. sounds like a blast to me. The weather up here is actually gettting warm!! its so random! i sweat a lot. it was like 90 or so the other day. And the heat up here is different or something becuase it feels hot to me haha. i think it might be cuz im up at higher altitude or something. But im not sure at all.
well i guess tahts all not a whole lot happened this past week. We were tracting and we tracted into a guy who is hispanic and plays songs of praise i guess you could say. So he invited us in and had a keyboard on the couch and a guitar in the corner. And so i asked if he played guitar and he said yes and asked if i wanted to play... and i was like... uh ya. So he let me play a little and we played a little together and he sang haha. It was pretty cool. then we taught him So hopefully things go well. there are a lot of nice people here. So i love that.
well i guess tahts all. im thinking about you and love ya!

Hello Mama!!
Well i didnt get your letter until today Tuesday. Cuz they wanted us to work on Memorial Day. So we did and so we have Pday today. And then next week will be on monday but then the week after that will be on Tuesday again cuz thats transfer week!
But yes thank you, i got the package saturday i believe. It was nice and tight. I had to rip the box open ha. But we were looking at it, and man it has everything that you will never need haha. Like the inside of a space ship and stuff? It was crazy!! But i like it cuz it has EVERYTHING so hopefully it will help me be able to learn some words and stuff.
Went to grear eh? How was that? Pretty boring without me ;) haha.
Wow im surprised the weather is so low haha. Here its like 75 or so, its getting warmer though. The sun like cooks you cuz your closer to the sun. Im Actually getting a tan, who would have thught right? I look down at my hands and i say whose hands are those? haha. They actually have color, or at least to me they do, and my face is getting a little color. Its weird.
Yesterday was a really good day. We did a lot of tracting and met some really cool people. This older guy and his wife invited us in and we shared the message with them and they werent interested in it, but they gave us food and drinks. haha. It was pretty cool.
I have a horrible memory. E Castillo always asks me like if i remember this or something and I'm just like uh... no? haha. I cant remember anything that happened this past week. Spanish is getting better, I love listening to music in spanish.
Which reminds me, man yesterday i was missing music a lot. I was listening to the guitar in some of the songs, and just like man i wanna play. I wanna play the bass too. I was looking through the book and it had like the staff's and like all the instruments in a syphmony and things like that so i was looking through it.
Things are good, we have a few investigators but were trying to get them to church, its hard!! But were working on it. Hopefully we have a baptism pretty soon :) But we will see, who knows i might get transfered out of here. But i doubt it. I need to stick aroudn for at least one more transfer.
Well i guess thats all, idk if i told you but i foudn my long lost mustard brother!! He loves mustard as much as me! Elder Diaz from Mesa, went to MVT. He is a cool guy he is in my district. He eats mac and mustard with me, he had never heard of it before, but after i showed him he loved it. Im going to convert the world. And with me saying that i feel like i told you before haha. Oh well
Love you all!!
