Hey guys! So this weeks definitely been a change. Its been quite a bit of a struggle. I'm wanting to help the people and dive right into the work, but its kind of hard to do that in a Spanish speaking mission and not being able to speak Spanish, and if the people don't let us help them. We are on the streets for about 3-6 hours a day trying to make contacts and find more people to teach with little or no success. Its definitely not been good for me. I like to feel like whenever I do something to see results, but I'm not seeing results and i was getting down pretty hard on myself.

Dear Brother and Sister Gunnell, Thank you for your help in sending your son, Elder Joshua Dee Gunnell, to serve in the New Jersey Morristown Mission.  I had the pleasure of welcoming Elder Gunnell at the  Newark International Airport.  Enclosed is a picture of him with Sister Hess and me and a picture of him with the other missionaries that arrived with him . We have also included a letter regarding the communication process and some ideas of how you can feel a part of the mission while supporting Elder Gunnell. I interviewed him and found him eager and prepared to be an outstanding missionary. Sister Hess and I look forward to working with him and consider him as if he were one of our own sons. His new companion and trainer is Elder Reese Keith Mayhew from Queen Creek, AZ .  The address to which you can send first class letters to Elder Gunnell for this transfer period is:           ...
