Hey,
Well if your still asking yourself where could Elder Lopez be right now with transfers coming the answer can be found in a very famous song sung by the beach boys... Yup it starts with Aruba... Yup president decided it was time to send me down to Aruba and preach the gospel while learning a different language with it.... Yeah i feel like a greenie all over again but luckly a lot of people here speak english and spanish to! But the language i'm going to be learning is Papiomento... Yeah your probably asking your self what in the world type of language is that, no worries though i had those same thoughts... anyway technicaly its not a complete language of its self so its dialect combinding Spanish, English, and Dutch all into one... It sounds pretty cool though when your hear the people speak it though. Basicly all of the people here speak one of those languages fluent though if not all of them. I'm sure as i spend more time down here i'll have more to tell your about it but as for right now i've only been here for about 3 hours. Our plane got in today from curacoa where we stayed last night before we finished the flight over here to the island of Aruba! Basicly here it is all desert and beach, and a lot of heat! I'm really excited though to be here because its going to be a great experience!
To make this experience even cooler my companion, Elder Browning loves to play baseball also! He's actualy ending his mission after this transfer and going back to Play ball at a Jr. college and then wants to go to play at BYU!... how sweet would that be! that would make 3 Elders from the exact same mission playing on the same team because Elder WElls will still be there at BYU when i get back next year.. we'll just have to wait and see how it goes and works out a year from now!
Anyway as for the work all is going well and I left a great Area behind but i'm excited to get a new one! Carlos Lopez one of our investigators with his fecha for this up coming 12 of september was sad to see me go but it was alright. He really is a good man with a big heart and i think he'll progress toward baptism for sure! THe members were all pretty sad that i was headed out also. I made a lot of good friends there in that ward but now is the time to meet new people and learn new languages... so as you can see here in the mission field things are just doing crazy things, but i love it!
Any how i'm going to go ahead and wrap up now so until next week keep on keepin on!
