What???? So much has happened this week!! It seems like a
ton has happened here in Mexico and in Utah, super crazy!! but first of
all I got to say that is a pretty sick car sydney has got! haha I can't believe
she got a slugbug as her first car that is so cool, haha and thats a super
funny story about Payton and the police sounds like I taught my little brother
well... ;) haha, and Jordan and Krystle are going to change houses holy smokes
a ton of stuff, school is starting up, oh my goodness Payton is going to be a
senior???????????????? WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! when did that happen????
time just needs to chill it out right now because it is flying right now.
But things are going good, I stayed here in Aeropuerto,
Navajoa since my companion finished the mission he's now back home, haha, but I
got some super exciting news, for the changes, I found out that I would be a
trainer!! I'm super excited, I got to go to Obregon Monday to get my new
companion that just got to the mission!! I found out that my old companion
Elder Yoo from Guasave is going to be a trainer too!! So we got to hang out on
the bus and think back on old times :) I also got to see Elder Rivas who
was with me in El Fuerte, and he is doing really well, it was super cool to see
all the missionaries haha, lots of people that I haven't seen in a while :) but
they are all doing good :) so I got to Obregon, and all the trainors were
seated and all the new missionaries and President Munive started to announce
the companionships and it was super chill I found out that my new companion is
Elder Vaca!!!! He's a super cool guy, haha 20 years old, and his name is super
cool because Vaca in Spanish means Cow haha, kinda funny but he is super chill,
and so we stayed in Obregon, almost all day!! so we didnt have Pday, and thats
why I'm writing you guys today, I'm super excited to train Elder Vaca, and its
kinda funny because everyone in the mission knows me as Padre Tanner (Father
Tanner) becasue of the movie John Tanner when the Prophet Joseph Smith yells
FATHER TANNER!! haha and so everyone is like Father Tanner!! haha kinda funny,
but I never felt like I could be called that, but now I do because in the mission
when you are called to train someone the new missionary, becomes your son and
your the father, because they are being born into the mission, and so now that
I'm traning and am a Father I feel good being called Father Tanner haha, its
kinda funny :) the district got changed a lot now there are just 2 sisters
instead of 4 they took out 2 Sisters and put Elders in there area, but it's
chill because the elders are cool guys :) Elder Ramirez and Walker are still my
zone Leaders super cool guys, Elder Ramirez was Elder Williams companion so we
always talk about the experiencias that we've had with Elder Williams.
I would like to take a little bit of time to let you all
know about something super cool that I loved to hear yesterday, well like I
said yesterday I got to hang out with Elder Yoo, and we talked about Guasave,
we started talking about the Brother Guadalupe that we baptized there, and its
been a long time since I've heard about him and how he is doing and I was kinda
nervous to hear how he's doing, but Elder Yoo gave me some awesome news!!! the
Brother Guadalupe is one of the strongest converts in the Guasave ward!!! He
attends every Sunday, and bore his testimony the other Sunday and Elder Yoo
told me that it was super powerful, and was super happy and crying a little bit
:), in his time in the church he has recieved the Aaronic priesthood, but was
just barely ordained and ELDER!! and was given the THE MELCHEZIDIC
PRIESTHOOD!!! It was so cool to hear that!! He is such a cool guy, and I'm really
hoping to visit him someday, I love this work and I know its true, I know that
God lives and he loves us, and I know that sometimes we feel alone, but we are
never alone, Jesus Christ was the only person to ever be completly alone so
that we wouldn't have to be, I know that we always have our older brother with
us, Never stop sharing this gospel with Family, friends, and any person that
you know!! I love you all so much and am so grateful for your love and support,
thank you for your prayers and please keep praying that we can find people to
teach and help :) I Love you guys and have an awesome week :)
Love Elder Tanner
Dare to be a Mormon
Dare to stand alone
Dare to have a purpose firm
Dare to make it known :)
