Sorry for not sending a very good email last week but anyways, these last two weeks have been great.
But to start off, last week we saved a family's life, a family of raccoons ;) so last Wednesday we were up at the church and one of the other elders was throwing something away in the dumpster and sees them so we all go out there and are just looking at them for a minute. So we ended up going to go do something and then we had to be back at the church so we are there a few hours later and the family was still in there. I learned something new this day though, I thought that raccoons were ballers like cats and could jump up way high so we thought they could jump out or even jump on me and attack me, but theyre not theyre just high rollers. So we ended up getting a big piece of wood and sticking it in there so they could get out and then we saved their family because they were stuck before. Right when they got out they just ran away but now we are homies for life.
Then this week we got to have a mini missionary come with us! His name was Juan Reyes and he just barely turned sixteen. He is in another ward but the stake did it so he was with us for 3 days. We had so much fun with him but we felt bad because we worked his butt off the first day and he was talking about his butt hurt from the seat and then he was sore and everything. So after we killed him the next day we decided to take things a little easier so we just made him eat 3 different times. We were laughing because we all felt so sick after. Then on Sunday we had a testimony meeting with all of the youth that did it and we told him to get up and be like "oh shout out to my boys Elder Lee and Elder Eichers." We did it as a joke but he got up there and did it so we were laughing so hard! But it was such a great experience because before the weekend he was a little shaky on if he wanted to go on a mission but at the testimony meeting he said now he wants to go when he turns 18! We were so happy and the whole thing was such a success.
But the things that have been stressing me out lately is that I got my haircut today and the lady cut it super short so now I look like I am in the MTC again. I am not going to lie I am sad about it and I miss having my old hair.. That is just a physical short thing though but this week with transfers coming up next week has been so stressful. So we had a zone meeting on this Thursday and President Woodbury pulled me aside after and was was just asking me some normal questions and then he asked me on how I felt on staying or going, when he asked I had no words I just like mumbeled because my emotions are so mixed. I know that I don't want to leave the familia Vazquez because it is such a crucial part with everything that is happening. I just love them so much and she was talking the other day about how she felt like we promised to be there through it all and she still remembers Elder Martinez so I want to be here so bad. I just don't know if The Lord needs me here or somewhere else. There is so much going on with them but I feel like I should keep it to myself.. Also I feel bad to kick Elder Lee out of his first area and everything so I just am so nervous with what is going to happen for this week. What happens affects not only me but their family and also Elder Lee. But I have faith The Lord knows what is going on and no matter what it will be the right decision. I may not see it right at first but in the long run it will all be okay.
I love you though and thank you for the package! I loved it all but please no more clothes! I have more than I can deal with right now, ties and everything are great just I have about 20 shirts in my closet so I think I am good for the rest of my mission. But I love you so much and I hope that you have a great week!
