March 31st - I AM LEAVING IN 5 HOURS!

We had changes and I am leaving this area and going back to the ghetto, to an area called Oriente.  I leave in 5 hours and I am going to be a district leader again.  My new companion is native and his name is Elder S. and he has been struggling with other comps.  I don't want to leave this area.  I have worked so hard and we are gonna have a baptism is a week...and now I have to leave. For real, we are gonna baptize like 5 people and I won't be here for them...and I'm the one who found them.  I was the one who contacted them and worked super hard and I can't even baptize them.
Elder M. and the others are staying and don't have to change.  Last night I cried because if the changes. I haven't cried in a long time.  The zone leaders told me that they think Pres. V. put me with this kid so I will be a better missionary and ready to be a zone leader, but whatever.  I have noticed that Pres. always puts me with all the struggling comps...maybe because I am the only one who loves them.

(Kyle was home that day and they emailed back and forth)

Josh:  How are the hunnies? Are you reading your scrips...if not, I will punch you so hard in the throat!!

Kyle: Dude, girls are the THE BIGGEST JOKE IN HIGH SCHOOL!

Josh: Son, if you honestly read the scriptures for 20 minutes everyday I promise you will be more happy.  Why do you think missionaries are so happy all the time, because all they do is read the scriptures (aka The Word of God).  But when you read, write in your journal what you learned or your head will explode with all that information you are gonna get...bleeeedat!  Of you do it, you will get more blessings with everything and the Lord will help you in all aspects.  Dude, just be an example to everyone at Davis High...the world is so lost and messed, the Lord needs more Nephi's and Alma's to teach and be good examples.

Kyle:  For sure, for sure!

I got to go Momma, Make sure you all watch General Conference especially Kyle! Love you all tons and keep me in all your prayers.  I need them big time this week.
Adios...I love you all!
