Picture this...

There is so much broken glass here. We get a flat tire a week. Yesterday we got two.

We got a call from the mission President last night and Elder Coca and I are getting a new elder from Puerto Rico, he got his mission call changed because of the hurricane. So we are way excited to pick him up
tomorrow.

We have been working with a senior couple to do some family history with our recent converts. It's been pretty cool to see the spirit of Elijah. We are taking them to the temple Wednesday.

Sorry but we probably won't be able to email this week. We are going to a museum with our investigators (pic's below).

Love,

Week 96 or something

We have been going hard and biking a lot here in Irving. There is no fat left on my body. I have been trying to eat more for breakfast and lunch but honestly I am just sick of eating too much. 

So it was cool being with the Arrazola's this week. It was like the third time I had been to their house but this time I looked at one of their pictures a little more closely and I saw my brother-in-law. Iwas like what the heck.
Super cool family. Turns out he and Chris were companions at one point.

Life is good and The Book of Mormon is true.

The end is near

This was a good week. It is has been weird with the end of my mission approaching rapidly. It kind just hit me the other day that missions actually have an end. 

But we are having a good time. We sat down with the senior missionaries and our recent converts to get going on their family history and it was pretty cool. It made me want to do some of my own. I love these converts.

Honestly I am just happy to be a missionary for right now. I just started reading the Book of Mormon again, and I hope to finish it before I finish my mission. I really like my ward. Elder Coca is learning a ton of Spanish, we just finished reading the Book of Mormon for Niños together. There was such a difference from how he reads now from when we started. 

It is still way different still having a new mission president but I like the guy. Idk if he will ever be able to replace President Taylor in my heart, but he is a good guy. 

I have been studying all the general conference talks by Richard G. Scott, he does his own Spanish translation for his talks. It's been fun to really study one apostle and learn from him. His Spanish really isn't that bad for an 80 year old white guy. 

The word is progressing here, we are teaching repentance with love and boldness and people seem to be listening. Some people need to spiritually wake up a little bit.

Les Quiero,

Elder Pattee

PS
I broke my back last week doing service for the hurricane. We moved so much water it would blow your mind! The other people that were with us were dumber than Harry and Loyd. We have a new lesbian couple we are teaching that came to church for the first time this week so that was pretty dope!

PSS
Also if anyone was curious, I got more flat tires than I have fingers and
toes this week....
