Hey Everyone,
How are you all doing? Good I
hope, even though school has started. Haha. I’m doing ok. We had transfers this
week and I found out that I was getting the 6 week bullet. This means I only
got 1 transfer in the best Spanish ward in the mission. Not only that, the area
I was in got closed and merged in with the other set of Elders. All of our
investigators, all my hard work on fixing the place and the area was just given
to them. And my companion Elder Hurst was sent to the 3rd area in the ward even
though he has had 3 transfers there already. I’m down here in the farthest area
from ALB. In the middle of nowhere Texas in a town called Fabens. On Google it
says that Fabens has a population of 8,000+ but that’s a lie. There honestly cannot
be more than a thousand. The town takes 5 mins to drive all the way through.
But this is what I thought my mission would really be like. Just roughing it on
dirt roads and dying of heat haha. But oh well.
On Monday I got to go see my
recent converts Raul and Alicia Castillo, who are still on track for the temple
and doing fine. It was nice to see the surprise on their faces when I just
showed up on their door step after 6 months. I also saw my favorites the
Jorquera family from my first area. And hang out with them for a little while. I was waiting for transfers. Anyway, my new
companion is Elder Hernandez, from San Bernardino, Cali. He is Half Mexican
half Tongan and speaks little Spanish. He has been out for 7 months now and
spent all that time here in Fabens. He loves it, so I guess there is some hope
for me. The Branch here is literally just 2 giant families that are all
related. My new address is PO BOX 2754 Fabens TX 79838. The apartment is a lot smaller than my last
one and I’m back to a swamp cooler. Its rough I know. Anyone that went to a 3rd
world country can just skip this part though. Haha.
Not much more to talk about though.
Love you,
Elder Stewart
