FAM!
Imma keep it short, because i dont want to waste your time. i
mean you must be soooo busy right? right. (daniel, thats a cane drop).

For reals though i am just all talked out. I heard about the amazing
weekend you all had and i am so happy that it went the way it did. things like that dont just happen you know? I am doing really well, my
second transfer is this coming weekend, and were all pretty sure Elder
Moeller is out of here, which means ill be getting a new companion
here in old Rio Cuarto, and theres no place id rather be. i am getting
really attached to the people here, so ive decided im not gonna get
transferred for at least 6 months. simple. if anyone has specific
questions about the work or anything, hit me up. also, id love to hear
about how everyone is doing. to drop names, Kassidi, i miss ya. how is
albaquerque? i bet things are crazy with brandon doing all that
studying. you guys are in my prayers. Also, Christal, are you glad to
be a bridge yet? if youre not after this weekend, i dont know if you
ever will be, that sounds about exactly like what we bridges are all
about. Jean Marcell, my brother, how is work? Do you ever go hang out
with Jordan? Im sure hed love to take you guys out shooting while
youre still in shelby. how much longer will you be there? let me know
how the Domguias are doing yeah?

...Sara. 3 of my siblings have served
missions. 1 of them is studying 24 hours a day and cant write. one of
them... wrote me. and one didnt. guess which is which?
that said, i miss you like crazy and i want to hear from you.
Love, ELDER BRIDGE!

The Life of Condor, the Missionary. August 1, 2011

FAMILY!

This week has been a really good one, but as always, as soon as i

start to write the big email, my mind goes blank. I will do my best.This week started off wierd, cause last monday i was reallyfrustrated with my Spanish. then i did what connor bridge never does,and i started working harder on learning Spanish, and i actually haveseen some pretty good results in a weeks time, and i mean yeah, withevery bad thing is more good it seems like. for example, Wednesdaynight i did not sleep. Not at all. I have wierd cold at i had a sharpand severe pain every time i swallowed, and one perpetually stuffednostril, so i didnt sleep. I had a bad headache and sore throat forthe next 3 days, and still have a sore throat, but back to my account.So thursday, not feeling great, but, ive been reading the ConferanceEnsign like every day, which not only gets me way excited for nextconferance, but teaches me a thing or too as well. The talks that havebeen sticking out to me are the ones that relate to ether 12, in thatwe have many trials of our faith, many challenges, and every singleone is an oppertunity to be stronger or weaker. I have been able tosee things in that light before they are a problem, and thusfar thathas been all it takes. So i just told myself, im sick,im not going tofeel good. thats it. i can still work, and i wont be sick forever.that gave me all the help i needed, but then we had interviews withpresidant thursday night, and that gave me more than i needed, sosince then i have just been stoked. I love talking to him cause itsjust like he reafirms everything i have been thinking and doing, heslike an encouragement machine, and it makes me just like so happy tobe doing what im doing, and i once again set some real goals to dobetter and its been awsome so far. I feel so lucky to have him for apresidant.         On the subject of pictures. im sorry, i know it sucks thatyou didnt get them. i sent them and recieved an email today that saidthey didnt send for some reason or another. yall will just have to bepatient and get the card in the mail when i get my other one, becausei cant afford to pay for the computer that i will no doubt smash inhalf trying to send pictures again.on that cheerful note, i think youll like the pictures, when youeventually get them. gotta wrap it up. mom, love you, wish i couldhave heard more from you. dad, christal and dan, thanks for theletters, because every week is an opportunity to help a missionarythat you will never get back. you guys took that opportunity, and forthat i am greatful ;)       Im full of excitment, and nothing can stop us this week. itsfreezing out and raining, but it isnt windy, so i dont really feel thecold. im a machine!Love you.              Elder Bridge   p.s. fyi the next transfer is in like 3 weeks and one of us willbe leaving. cross your fingers that ill get to stay here! im not doneyet.
