Change Week

"Ok..first of all, yes I am a little bit more chunky. Okay...I am reaching morbidly obese. Okay not really but yes I am fat compared to before and ya I eat a lot and like the food. The reason I am getting a little bit more to love is because all the food is super fattening. Like it is packed with oils and that good fattening stuff so its a killer especially arriving at Winter. It's right here in a month and that's when I will be getting even bigger." (no pictures this week because we noticed his weight increase)

The first week with his new comp went really good. They set some pretty good goals and Jaydan feels good about things. This comp wants to be good with their time which is nice since some of Jaydan's other comps haven't cared much. Jaydan said they worked hard this week and he thinks things will be good. He thinks his comp is doing better than when Jaydan knew him earlier in the mission. He was good with Jaydan's idea's of working on things in this area. He is Elder Siegel from Idaho. Jaydan's last comp was also from Idaho.

Most of the investigators are having a hard time with smoking. That seems to be the main thing that is keeping them from baptism. So it is kind of hard...but "fartin possible". (oh the way he expresses himself) The Pastor investigator is doing so great. She is phenomenal and just plain awesome. She likes calling Jaydan little fatty. She told him that she even baked a cake for him because she knew he would eat it all. But she was alone and she ate it before she could give it to him. Jaydan thought that was so funny. He had been telling his comp about her and how she always had a treat for them and then this time she didn't because she ate it. She said that she was going to make Jaydan a scarf for the winter. Before or even at the first of the mission Jaydan thought that scarfs were pretty "girlirific" but in Uruguay they are the only way. (pretty cold) Last winter the wind snuck through Jaydan's neck hole but with the added weight he doesn't think that would really be a problem this year. hahahaha Jaydan thinks it is funny that he has experienced a little cold since he never has before. He said he is throwing out the word "cold" from his vocabulary since he is the "mini fat Sasquatch". (funny...little man)

A little 8 or 9 year old girl gave Jaydan one of her bears as a gift and wouldn't let him leave with out it. The mom told Jaydan that this little girl has never been as connected to a missionary as she is with Jaydan. The whole family really likes Jaydan and have told him that. They even told him that they cry when he leaves. They said they have never felt like that with other missionaries. Jaydan said if he was having a bad day that him and his comp would go to that house before they went home. He would always leave feeling better. He let them know how much they have helped him too and how much happiness there home has in it. They are Jaydan's favorite family! Oh and the bear that the little girl gave Jaydan is really big. It doesn't have eyes, nose, mouth, arms and only one leg. It's also pink! Jaydan said it is pretty cool and it's the thought that counts.

"Love you all so much.....even more than a dog likes to pee on a big new tree."

ps."we had an empenada party for the ward and my comp and I made breakfast burrito empenadas and the ward went crazy for them."
