Desde Arizona Donde Esta Muy Caliente!

-Letter between Clem and Sonya-

Hola Sweetie.

Hope you had a good week. I spent all week at the ballpark and of course had a blast. The D-Backs are now on the road for the next 10 days, so we get a little rest.

Have you met any Elders or Hermanitas from Arizona? Do you have opportunities to work with the Elders and do the Hermanitas overall have a good relationship with the Elders? In other words, do all of you work well together? I was just wondering because I really enjoyed las Hermanas while I was out and in some way, they did a better job. So keep up the good work GIRL! And don't let them be too bossy. :)

I have little else to say. It's been nice and hot and I seem to be okay with it I guess. It's because I know it's coming and I just figure I should just embrace it.

As always I think about you everyday and I am extremely proud of you and all that you have done since you have been in Guatemala. I know it's not always fun, easy, or relaxing, but you have been able to adapt well enough each month and I have enjoyed seeing your growth over these months. So keep doing your thing and expressing yourself like I know you do and can. And... now you can do it in two languages. Scary.

Love you lots. Of course I miss you. Continue to stay safe and watch your back and always remember, no talking to strangers.

Thanks dad.

I needed that. I am glad that you got a rest and are doing well in the heat. I am still wearing my jacket about everyday here. This is the cold part of Central America. Haha. But I don't mind it.

I get along with the Elders. But, when President Lorenzana got here three years ago, there was a lot of problems. The Elders and Hermanas were getting along too well. So we don't really work much with them. Just call in our dates and such. You know me, I get along with Elders, so it's fine. I am taken care of always.

It's weird to think that I only have about seven months left to do this work. I won't lie. There are some days that I am just tired and ready to go home and sit on the couch and watch a movie or play some games with the family. But I know that there will be time for that and that those things will never give me the satisfaction that I get here on the mission. I love the mornings that the scriptures come alive and I learn and learn... I am grateful for this refining process called the mission. Thank you for helping me get out here on this adventure.

I love you daddy.
