A letter from Elder Bigelow

well nothin to big or exciting happened this week. we have a fecha for the 20th of this month and thats about it. my companion is doing really well and we are working well together and my spanish is really doing pretty well i think. atleast i am understanding a ton and able to speak pretty well. its weird sometimes a word that i never even studied or anything will just kinda pop out of my mouth when i am talking or teaching something. thats the el don de lenguas right there and it is literally amazing to look back and six months ago, 3 months ago i knew nothing at all and now i can handle myself talking to people getting help buying things everything alone. i cant believe it. the gift of tongues is real and i have first hand experience with it. the experiences and blessings that happen on the mission are amazing and priceless. it really is the hand of god in things. it is so hard for me to talk to people and hear that they dont believe in god or jesus christ. how could you not believe in them. LOOK AROUND!! god is there and look at all the books and people that testify of christ and of god. that is just stubborn and stupid if you dont believe. but they will be judged and have there chance in the spirit world to accept it again.

our mission has a goal that every companionship has to talk to at least 20 people everyday and get 140 a week. someone new never before talked to, and yeah. and so i talk to a TON of people everyday and it is so funny some peoples beliefs and actions and thoughts on things. especially when you ask if they know where christ was during the three days after his death and before the resurrection. some say with god, others have not a clue. always a good time to teach a little and explain a bit. and when he was on the earth after his resurrection. its funny cause that was exactly what president talked about in zone conference and after i got the letter from dad that had that same stuff in it. very insightful and i learned a ton. i loved it. i also got your package dad and lisa thankyou very much for it. and they do not have dry ice here. so its impossible to make it that way. you buy soda water and make it with that. it has the instructions on the box. the latins like it alright but prefer coke over it... haha its funny.

so lindsey finally had her baby malachi...wow!! that is awesome! i knew i felt good on friday for some reason. well i am very happy and think that is awesome. we have new emails now on the mission and this is them. they are better then what they were before and i have an hour and twenty minutes to email now. so don´t worry about it pops. this email is fine for now i think. and i dont think i can change i think prez would get mad about that one. as for skype or whatever... and that stuff. i dunno? i dont really know how that works or where i would have to go for it or anything. so i dunno i think it would be pretty cool to see and talk to you but its just whatever. if you figure it out and what i would have to do. at this current internet cafe i am at it has a web cam thing and a phone hooked to the computer but i dunno what it is for.... so yeah i have no idea. and it also depends if my companion would want to go to wherever we would have to go.... i will have a new comp by then. president told my comp in his interview that he is leaving and he even wrote it down in his notebook so it is a sure thing. so i will still be in this area i think and will have a new comp and it all depends on what he will want to do and stuff kinda. or some members even have computers and phones...maybe there i dunno how it all works.

so next transfer i think i will be a leader in the mission. either a district leader or senor comp. i dunno though but i am getting that vibe and my comp has said and hinted at little things like that and is having me teach the classes in church a little more now and stuff. so i dunno.

well all is well i got lots of letters last week a great one from grandma bonnie and the sylvester family. thankyou so much

i love you all and miss you. i have you in my prayers and i know i am in yours i can feel it everyday thankyou for everything.

con amor
