Dear Family,
This past week we received our transfer calls. Elder Oliver and I are going to stay here in Warden. But there is an odd number of Spanish missionaries so there's going to be a trio somewhere, and that somewhere is here in Warden. Elder Pena is coming here. He was in the MTC with me. But he was only in there for 3 weeks. He is from Gautamala and speaks both English and Spanish. Three will be a big companionship. But I hope it won't be a headache.
Erick's family is supportive but not enough. I think it will be awhile before they will become members. But Erick is a good smart kid. I don't think he will go far from the church.
Hadi the guy from Iraq, he is doing OK but progressing slowly. He drinks coffee and smokes every now and then. But he is fun to visit.
We have a guy named Eddy Medrano who has a baptismal date for Feb. 28 he has a good desire and he is a good guy. He doesn't have a family but still looking. We also have some other investigator's that look really good. Warden is fruitfull and the members are a great help to the investigators. I'm glad to be here for another six weeks. But I don't know if I can go longer than that.
In the package you send, if you can send some future missionary tags. And some cheese and crackers. This up coming up week will be different but fun. I'm doing great, learning alot and having some funny experiances.
Love you all,
Love, Elder Garrett
