Dear mom,
Ok so this week was the bomb diggity as of monday me and the missionaries went on a mission hike after e-mails and let me tell you what it was so fun. We got to see the country part of the Garden state and it was b-e-a-utiful!!!! I was so happy to say that I got to meet the other missionaries in the field. Ok so on tuesday we had district meeting and it was on being perfectly obedient.... I really can't spell in english any more

ON wednesday we visted and helped Gabriel and Yawdy perpare for their boda(wedding) it was so bomb! I am so happy for them.  Finally on saturday, we had the wedding and let me tell you what, It was so flippin awesome. No puedo bailar pero yo come mucho comida lol. :) It was so special. I could really feel the spirit their. I know that this union isn't for eternity but it helped a man who was confused in his life find some guidance as well as a companion.

Sunday was even more spiritual. I talked in church about obra misional. It was like Idk but some how some way I was able to translate to the congragation and they understood me lol I was so happy. They after we had Gabriels baptism and I haven't seen that many tears since grandpa died. It truly is a blessing we( me and elder sopena) have had to teach these great people.

ok Elder sopena was born in Rhode island but lived in puerto rico his whole life. He is about my height and loves to play soccer. He also loves to eat. And he has a girlfriend serving her mission in brazil

It's all about love mom

This week was really all about expressing love to the different members of our barrio. Baically, On tuesday we had our usual District meeting but after that me and elder sopena took some candies we had purchased the day before and visted every member possible. Every single one that we visted was like bomb!!! I mean you would never believe how dedicated these members really are. I am so grateful for the members that I do have.

We teach english classes on tuesdays apparently so me and elder sopena and another member of the ward Antonio (recent convert) taught some inactives and some potential investagators. It was bomb it is what the ward needs also. Well on wednesday we had zone conference and let me tell you what!!! It was the bomb- digity. Elder Macdonalds companion elder brox is going home this transfer. In approximately 4 weeks and sadly to say he gave his final talk in front of the missionaries. I really felt the spirit once he spoke. At the end of that me and the elders that I live with sang in a choir that will be singing in december for all the missionaries. I am excited and I know it is a bomb opportunity to invite investagators :)

On thursday me and elder sopena visited some other members in our area and gave them pass along cards and taught them how to give out pass along cards and invite people to church. It was a really good feeling. I think that teaching people how to teach is so vital to help the church progress.

On Friday we had to return to the house way early because is New Jersey they have what is called Mischief night and Halloween. Where traditionally the gangs from Newark and farther into the city go out and kill people. According to last years reports and what president Bahr told us. on the 30th of october 30 people were killed and on the 31st of october 31 people were killed. Basically it's a terrible thing that happens in New Jersey 61 people killed. So we go home early 6pm to be exact.

Well saturday was interesting to say the least. Alot of interesting people in our neighborhood but basically it turned out that we went over to some potential investagators house and bam talked with them for the longest time about this life and when we die. Answering questions of the soul. It was really great.

Love, Elder Gamez
