Well, I am sure you can't wait to know if I was finally changed. The answer to that is...Yes. I am now in the Magnolias Ward in the Indepedencia Stake. Indepedencia is really close to the mission offices. About 10 minutes away. I thought my old area had a large hill, which is true, but nothing compared to my new area. My old area started out flat and then went up the hill. My new area is just a hill or mountain. I live in the hill in my area. We have to climb up so many staircases and hills everyday just to visit our investigators. I thought that would make it more difficult for them to come to church but we had five investigators there. So that is great. I have heard that this area has a lot of success. There are 22 converts in the last year in just my area. In the ward, between the two companionships, there are just over 50 converts in the last year. I hope I can have success here too.
My new companion is Elder Rivas. He is from Ecuador. He just has three months in his mission. He just finished his 12 week training. I am now the senor companion and have to take a lot more responsibility. He was trained really well though. He knows the lessons really well and I don't worry when he teaches parts of the lesson. He is a really cool kid. His birthday was Tuesday, or the day I arrived. A few of the members gave him cake for his birthday.
The new house I live in is not near as nice as the old house I lived in. I now don't have couches and the room is a lot hotter during the day. My companion told me that it would get up to 95 degrees in the house during the summer during the day. It isn't that hot now but it is still really hot. We study outside on the porch so we don't burn to death. It isn't hot at night though. I sleep fine other than the bed has bed bugs or fleas. We are going to go buy insecticide to kill them today.
That is super sad about the missionary in Kaylee's ward. I can't believe she died in her mission. You don't have to worry Mom. I don't drink dirty water and I eat fine. I don't know why you worry so much about things like that.
I am glad Kenzie had a fun time at Prom. I still can't believe she is old enough to go to Prom. I thought life would stop and wait for me while I was on the mission, but I guess I was wrong. Kenzie is going to prom and Kyle is getting married. Life still goes on.
You really should send me a bracket. I think it would be fun to play March Madness. Let's hope the teams from Utah do good.
Love you lots,
Elder Karter Isaacson
There are cats that live on the roof above my room and we are pretty sure a few fleas fell off of them and into our beds. I am fine without a flea collar. I can't believe you guys gave in and actually bought Kenzie a hedgehog. Maybe it tastes like guinnia? pig. I will just have to get home and try it out. Just fatten it up for me so I can cook it and eat it when I get home. I will just ask some members to teach me how to cook it.
These are two pictures I took with a missionary while on a work visit. With the first one, I am sorry if I ever complained about cutting the grass. I am so greatful for a lawn mower.
The other one is of the mom and step-dad of Hugo. Hugo was baptized. The step-dad is way drunk. He was drinking pure alcohol with Cifrut (it is like Sunny D).
