Letter dated 27Aug2012

[Dear friends and family, Our summer is coming to an end. I hope that all of you had a great summer and that you're looking forward to a wonderful Fall! We are getting excited for BYU Football! It's the first year we'll be following it (for the Marching Band, of course!) Daniel will be playing T-bone in the Cougar Marching Band - the Power of the Wasatch (I think this is their motto!) . Here is Weston's letter that we received today. I hope you enjoy it! If you would like to send a note to Weston, reply to this note and I will make sure that Weston receives your note! He will love hearing from you! Take care and be safe! Weston's editor - BWS] Dear family, My first week in Manacor has been a far different experience than my time in Inca. It´s so different in some ways even though they´re right next to each other but I´m having a great time here with Elder Swenson. I have come to find out that he´s very, VERY much into football and I can only imagine that it is the same with me and movies. I apologize if I ever got annoying for obsessing over them! Anyways, I have really gotten to know the investigators here and we´re working with a fun family from Brazil. They all have so much attitude so I find it entertaining to dish some right back at them! I don´t know a few of the other people who are here in the city but we already have plans set up to see them this week, so I´m excited for them! We´ve been in the process of making plans so that we can help both Inca and Manacor in the most productive and efficient manner possible. Once we get the system down to the nail I know that we´ll be able to make some serious headway in our areas. One thing that I´m sure will be a huge help is if we begin to work to be as diligent as possible in order to see differences with these people. The idea for some people however, is that change is a difficult thing and that is what I´m noticing to be the overwhelming theme of people's concerns with the church and also faith. I´m currently in the process of learning how to better help our friends with this issue. Too bad I don´t have President Obama for my companion. He´s all about change, right?! Oh yes, I finally sent out my first batch of letters and I have a million more on the way but they just are so time consuming.. but totally worth the hassle, I must admit. I didn´t get your card yet but I did finally get a letter from a friend last week. It was a fantastic surprise! It must be good to be home and at college. I can´t even imagine how crazy it must be with only three children running around the house now. I do imagine, however, it must be a little less stressfull! Ahh, but you´re all so great, I could just kiss you all! (Watch out brothers!) Estoy bien y bueno ;) ¡se que es igual por cada de vosotros! les quiero, mas que una chalupa, Élder Xander Weston Schindler P.S. Use the address I have in Inca and make sure you use the second one I sent you. It has the building number on it! Haha! [Let me know if you want this address.] P.P.S. Don´t translate ´´Estoy bueno´´. It´s a funny mistake that most new Spanish speakers make all the time. Hmmm, random thought, I might try to write in more Spanish in upcoming letters.
