| This is up on a trail that leads to part of their area in San Marco. This is the valley of San Marcos - beautiful! |
 | |
| This is Elder Woodfield's companion, Elder Paulsen on the same trail. |
 |
| This is the valley - they live almost at the bottom of the valley i a little Colonia called La Urba. |

| This is a picture of Elder Paulsen when they were hanging out on the roof last week and couldn't leave the house (during the elections) - not the best picture of Elder Paulsen but it sounds like they had a lot of fun and it was really cool up there! Braden says, "Nothing dangerous! Don't worry, mom!!! haha" |

| Lizzie got a special picture this week - the light coming through the ceiling as he was reading his Book of Mormon the other day was a perfect heart. Love it! |
Hey family!
How are you all doing!!!??
So I just sent
some pictures for you guys! I wanted to send them first so that you
would have some pictures of my new area! It's pretty, isn't it?
So all seems calm up there in Utah, right?? Wedding plans, new
teeth, Britny's birthday! Anslee's birthday is next week, too! WOO Kalee
running lots and I'm sure helping lots with the wedding! Derek and school
about done for the year! Wow time flies haha lots of cool stuff!! Sounds like Lizzie is doing well over there in Africa - just hanging out and
working hard as always right!
Other than that, all seems good, yeah?? Sweet!
So,
this week has been a really good week! I am getting to know my way
around the new area - just working to get to know where everyone lives,
getting to know the new zone - their needs and strengths! It's all really
fun here! Just working hard and keeping focused! It's definitely been
super busy though!! Crazy! Like last p-day, we had to go to the office
and run all over the place and I hardly had time to even write my email!
haha but today is a bit more relaxed! We have to run to the office after
though but we didn't have as much to do in the morning today! We
don't have to go to the office every p-day, just sometimes when there is
stuff to do, forms, money things, just busy work stuff. My new area is fun and
interesting and I'm learning a lot! But its definitely busier!
We have a lot of really good investigators here as
well!! When I got here, we didn't have very many positive people, but
working with the members and after doing a lot of contacting and things, we've
found a lot of really good people! We found 4 new families to teach this
last week!! We are teaching the Familias Bolanos, Rodriguez and Sylba
(Familia Bolanos is 2 families) but they are are really good people and
we are excited to work with them!!!
As for everything else, it's going good! Oh! We are
moving houses soon! On the 31st, we should be moving to another housejust because the house we are in right now is terrible! haha It has a lot of plugs and lights that are just
broken and don't work! Then, there is the bathroom! haha There's no door - just a sheet - the toilet doesn't flush (we have to flush it with a
bucket), the shower head is broken and we have to use a faucet thing that
is at waist height (that means I could say my prayers in the shower
because I almost have to kneel down to wash myself!! haha) but yeah,
anyway our new house is a really pretty house :) I'm excited! I hope
everything goes through well with the rent and contracts so we can move
out soon!! haha But, all in all, things are great here! It's a fun and
exotic (just like Layton! Only Lizzie will understand that haha)
experience!! But I love it so much!! An unforgettable experience!
Anyway! That's about it for this week! No
baptisms for a little while...but we're working hard to get some in the
next couple/few weeks! I love you all! Thank you for all your service
and love!! Stay close and keep working hard!!!
Love,
Braden
P.S. Make sure you make new non-member friends and give the reference to the missionaries! It makes our lives so much easier!!!
