January 5, 2016 New Years and 10 party people come to church! Transfer to Nova YSA and from Elder Wolfe to Elder Marsden

Hey Family hows it going!? Hope New Years was awesome! Here it got pretty crazy in our little cuban neighborhood haha. We opened up our window and stuck our heads out and watched all the fireworks it was pretty cool! That is really cool you got to ordain Caleb to a priest! I cant wait to come back and see him give his mission farewell! He would be a super hard working missionary I can already tell! Well as you know since I am emailing on Tuesday this week was Transfer Week!! I got Transferred to Nova YSA! It is the YSA ward in Fort Lauderdale. So from now on I will be teaching young single adults from the ages 18-30! I am super excited to be serving there! My new companion will be Elder Marsden. I dont know anything about him yet but hes cool. Hes a singer I do know that but thats it haha. The really sad part about this though is that it is english only!!!! So it will be very hard to keep my spanish but I will try my best to study as hard as I can but for me just talking with everyone in spanish is what helps it the most.

Well this week was suuuuper awesome! We were knocking and saw a house full of people partying and we decided to join. Very surprisingly none of them were drinking beer and they were super nice! There was 10 of them, one family from Cuba, another from Honduras, and one from El Salvador. We found them on Saturday night so church was the next day so after having a super awesome bbq with them we gave all 10 of them a card and invited them all to church! They said they would go if they could but most were just visiting so they didn't know for sure if they would come but they said they would try. Anyways the next day rolls around and all 10 of them showed up to church!!! It was super awesome haha they were the coolest people and invited all the members to another bbq that they were having that sunday night. So that night we go back to their house and there is just this huge party and they were playing Hymns given to them by our bishop on their huge boombox which was pretty funny and it was just the funnest Sunday ever. They are all going back to their home countries this week but the couple from Cuba whom they were visiting is still getting taught and wanting to get baptized which is awesome.

Well I got TONS of pictures to send I hope you guys like them. Oh I heard the playoffs start this saturday! Let me know how the Chiefs do! Oh and the new house that I am moving too is on a golf course and it is right next to the Presidents house so I should be able to golf him on a few P days! Well thanks for everything family it looks like you guys are still partying hard! The next time I will be emailing I will be in Fort Laud in a YSA ward!
