Hey!
Thanks for the happy bday wishes haha. I know its super weird that im not a teenager now. I didnt even realize this morning haha i had completely forgotten. But yeah haha. Well this week was kinda crazy. Yes i got a new companion and he has a whole week in the mission. He is from Mexico. He is cool. Hes just too serious right now, hes kinda like a robot. So im hoping that he will loosen up here soon. I guess i just love to joke around but hes just so serious so its kinda hard sometimes. But yeah i totally got ripped off. So ive always been junior comp and i loved that! And all of a sudden im a trainer and district leader. It is really hard. I am feeling kinda stressed out but its all good. I dont know why in the world President did this to me haha. I never knew it was so crappy to have responsibilities like this.. Haha so pray that i go back to junior comp in the next couple changes. Oh and also i met Elder Duren. We had this training meeting and we got to meet all the news and everything. So that was kinda cool. I was hoping to be his trainer but one of my good buddies is his trainer haha. I was jealous but he is a super cool guy and he went to an awesome area. But yeah and i think that we are gonna start having some success here in my area. The members are really starting to help more so im pretty excited about that. Oh and yes i got the package! Thankyou so much! I am enjoying it so dang much hahaha. Im getting nice and fat off it so its good stuff hahaha. Well i hope that you guys have a great week and i love you so much!
Love, Elder Gunnell

Hey!
Yeah everytime i write you guys i realize that i write pretty much the same thing every week haha. So im sorry if it gets a little boring! But no i havent gotten the package yet. Did you guys put the address on it and everying? Im sure ill get it soon. But woo! Today is 10 months in the mish!!!! Only two more and itll be a year! Crazy stuff right?? Im freakin out haha. And im glad to hear that everyone is doing good.
Well with the family with the guy with the screws it is going really well! We always have really awesome lessons with them. And they have been reading in the Book of Mormon and everything. He just said that he cant come to church at the moment because he cant walk and also because if he goes to church thats not a catholic church his family will give him the cold shoulder. So he just has to wait till he isnt depending on them so much. And we are teaching these old people that we are supposedly going to baptize in a few weeks. So yeah we went over the baptism questions with them and it was rough! Haha Haha i asked them about the law of chastity and he answered something about being punished hahaha. It had nothing to do with anything. But i guess i understand because in spanish the word chastity is castidad. And punish in castigo so i guess its similar haha. Oh but something funny happened the other night! So we were finishing up work for the day and we were talking to this lady that we always see in the street. So we are just talking like normal and all of a sudden my comp takes off running and screaming like a crazy person. And im like what in the world is my companion doing. He looked like he was chasing something but i couldnt see cuz it was dark. Then i see him kick something... Then this giant rat slides to my feet and stops and is twitching and dying. Oh my goodness it was the funniest thing ever hahaha. Everybody in the street was laughing and it was just so dang hilarious. So here is a picture of it hahaha. Well thats all i got to write about! I hope that you have a great week! I love and miss you all!
