Hey guys!

This week has been literally insane. I had changes! I stayed in the Zone of Brasilia but I moved from Chiantla to Brasilia. And my new companion is named Elder Bennion! He is the first Gringo companion that I have had since Ronfeldt and he is actually from Federal Way in Washington too! He told me that he lived right next to Wild Waves which is crazy because it means that I drove by his house every single Saturday on my way to TYSA and I didn't even meet him until we came to Guatemala. He actually came with me in my group and I randomly met him in the MTC in Provo too and here we are, 10 months later, as companions. He´s a great guy and a great missionary too. I think that I am going to learn a lot from him. Elder Hernandez got transferred to my first Zone in Huehue, Zaculeu to an area that I forgot the name of. But anything would have been better for him than Chiantla so it´s good that he got changed.

My new area, even though it´s only like 20 minutes from Chiantla on Bus is sooo much hotter than Chiantla ever was because Chaintla is a bunch of Mountains and Brasilia has some hills but nothing really that impressive. So it´s pretty hot but I like it a lot. There is so much stuff to do in the ward to improve it and I have big plans for this ward. I am SO EXCITED! We are going to have a talent show in the ward tomorrow and I am way excited about that.

AND the first day that we got here, we didn't know anything about the area and it was dark so we couldn't really do anything so we went to the ward so that we could start meeting people because of mutual. And we met the Bishop and he said that he had 3 different kids who are the kids of some less actives who were not baptized and it was going to just take the permission of the dad to get baptized because they had already been taught. So we have a fecha to baptize the three of them this week. And Elder Bennion and I have been contacting a little bit too and God is blessing us with so many people who he has prepared for us to teach them the gospel.

And something crazy that happened this week is that I was made Zone Leader. It was kind of hard for me at first because I felt so unprepared to be a zone leader because I had never been a district leader or even trained before. But with a lot of prayer and study I feel a little bit more comfortable with the idea. I still don´t really understand why I am a zone leader right now but, poco a poco. If you guys could pray for me, then that would be great. J

Hey! God lives and he loves each of you! Pray and read your scriptures and you will feel his love better!

Sorry, this seems rushed--the time kind of got away from me...

Love,

Elder Froelich
