July 18th

Hello everyone! 

This week was a wild one for me. Monday and Tuesday we did are usual and Elder Eldredge had to pack. Wednesday was transfer day and it was fun catching up with the rest of the missionaries. Elder Gray is a good guy. He is a hard working and I'm fortunate to have him. Change is good but it can be very stressful sometimes. I hate week 1 of transfers. We have a lot of visa waiters in the mission. One just arrived and is in our zone. He is from Hawaii and will be going to Fiji whenever he gets his visa. Another one is in our zone and will be going to Jamaica this Wednesday. We did a little service this week for the Frause family. They are recent converts. Brother Frause just had by-pass surgery and is not doing well. He asked us if we could wash his dogs to get the smell off them and we had a blast. We went to a couple of district meetings this week to meet everybody new in the zone. We have a senor couple in the other district named the Kartchners. Elder Kartchner is the mission doctor that covers the Denver North Mission and a couple of others up north.  

Saturday we did exchanges with the Assistants. Do you remember an Elder Takis? He was my companion my first time in Westminster back in May of 2015. He is by far one of my favorite companions and it was so good to spend a day with him. He is from Logan Utah and goes home in 5 weeks. We met with one of the Bishops last night to discuss a missionary lesson we will be teaching on the 5th Sunday of July. The Bishop is very missionary minded and is one of the best ones I have worked with on the mission. We have a Zone Leader Meeting on Friday in Aurora. I think it is a training on how we can be better zone leaders; should be fun. Hope you all have a fantastic week, stay cool.

Love Elder Rodriguez
