Elder Jesse Kevin Stauffer

Hey hey fam... Didnt get an email from no one this week so I hope that everything is good, I sure had a stressful week.  But I will Start by saying how sad it was to say bye to all of my friends in san martin, bello horizonte.  Sandra, George and hans.  I^ll miss them a bunch.  But you know the lord, he always has something prepared for me.  This week I have really felt like an instrument in his hands.  I have had a lot of time to just think by myself this week because my new companion, Elder Burgos, doesnt talk all that much...  I have been thinking about my whole life and how I feel like he has prepared me big time for this moment in my life.  But on wednesday was changes and I got to change from Bello Horizonte, to The zone marangas, And my area in precursores.  My companion is Elder Burgos, We are co-senior companions, but ya he doesnt do anything.  It is alot of responsability for me this soon in my mission, but I am ready, I have always been a better person when I have been leading people.  He has two months in the mission, and so this is his second change, and his trainer was elder williams.  He just ended his mission, and so he was way ready to go home, because he didnt teach elder burgos anythin, and so now I have to teach him everything.  So elder burgos is like accostomed to not working now.  They left the area bare, we have no investigators, he doesnt know the area, he doesnt know how to teach a lesson, he doesnt have anything memorized, he doesnt know how to present the book of mormon, he doesnt talk, I cant understand him good because he talks so soft, and they didnt feel out anything is the area folder, and so we dont have anyone to visit now, so basically, we are starting from scratch.  Elder burgos´ mission call is to mexico, so he doesnt care all that much about the work here, he is just waiting to get out of here, so it is kinda hard.  Because he will be leaving soon, and when he leaves I will be with a mini missionary.  A mini missionary is a young man from the young mens courumn, and when that happens I better know the area, because we have the biggest area in the zone, and so I have alot to do and study.  But the good thing is that I went from the dust of bello horizonte, to an oasis here in precursores.  All of the people are rich because they live on the beach.  Yes my area has the beach now, which is way sweet.  The area seems like california alot, you see nice cars driving around, have a bunch of super markets, like wal mart, or sams club, and their houses are awesome, and they have huge palm trees, mom :)  I knew that you would love that.  This area is sweet, but the people are less humble, a little more prideful and so we will see how good I can do here alone, haha My spanish is going to improve alot in these next 6 weeks, but I am way grateful for how i can talk now, just have to keep working at it.  I dont worry about it all that much anymore if you can believe it.  Spanish is awesome, and I will have to teach all of you when I get home.  I havent got my packages for two weeks again, so that is hard.  But ill live, i know it is because i need to work hard here in this sector, and i am way happy to be a senior companion now, and not get bossed around anymore, I didnt like that all that much, because they dont realize that i am capable to be a missionary too.  So I am way ready for that.  But I thought this week that I could explain to you where I am at, and you guys can look it up on google earth... I really hope that everything is good at home....  So remember on the map in my mission call, it has that point of land, like a peninsula, and then it has that Island out in the ocean, I am the next area above that, and so I get to see La punta everyday.  And so in google earth type in Avenida Argentina con Avenida Elmer Faucett.  And right around there is my area, and it is huge...  In the changes meeting, I asked all of the new elders how tanner is doing, and they all said that he is doing good , so that was way wierd to hear that they had just come from seeing tann that same day.  And mom remember that missionary that you sent me out of the standard examiner? he got here and I told him about how you sent me his picture.  ahah it was funny.  My room is tiny, and the shower is like in the room, we live on the 3rd floor, and it is like a cement hut, it is pretty funny, but I love it.  Just know that everything is good here with me, miss all of you guys very much, but just hoping that everything is good at home, because I havent got anything for awhile now, and no email today, so I love you. And pray for me this week that we can find people to teach....  Love you very much...
