One of Elder Loveless' past companions, who is home now, wrote to him on June 26th, 2017

"Elder loveless quiero comentarle que me alegra mucho todo lo que esta pasando, especialmente quiero que sepa que al leer sus cartas puedo notar un cambio en usted,  su espíritu y fuerza están creciendo,  usted es un hombre de bien con un corazón noble,     siga siempre así. De mi parte estoy disfrutando mucho mi nueva vida,  es difícil porque tengo mucho mucho que aprender pero es un camino emocionante,  también estamos pensando cambiar de casa y eso me emociona porque cambiaré de ambiente :) Después de la misión he podido ver la guía de Dios"

Translation:

"Elder loveless want to comment that I am very happy everything is happening, especially I want you to know that when reading his letters can notice a change in you, your spirit and strength are growing, you are a good man with a noble heart, always follow so. For my part I am really enjoying my new life, it's hard because I have a lot a lot to learn but is an exciting way, we are also thinking of moving house and that excites me because I change my room :) After the mission I could see guide God"

😭😭😭😭

Those are for the subject....I never thought this day would come that they'd be leaving...I think I'm gonna cry. Presidente and Hermana Vasquez are going home this week and Presidente and Hermana Durán will get here on Thursday.

This week we had multi zonas and for the first time in almost 8 months, I didn't have to give it jaja. But this week it rained a lot...like a lot a lot. Lots of water fell from the sky. Also FELICIDADES to Emily and Zac!! I'm finally an uncle. I was waiting so long for this moment jeje. I'm all 20 and old and an uncle...that's when you know you're not a kid anymore jaja. 

This week we had 3 awesome lessons with our new investigator Samuel that talked to us on Sunday night and told us he wanted us to teach him.  Awesome miracle. He has completed alllll of his commitments and is in 1 Nefi 10. He went to church yesterday too! He was a Jehovah's Witness but ya no jaja. He went yesterday after church to tell his family and the JW's that he's going to be leaving their church. He is so great. We have another lesson with him today. 

We're also looking for a ton of new investigators because we don't have a whole lot. My companion is doing good...he's trying my patience...😁 But I know I'm with him for a reason. We're doing good. I'm sad that Presidente is leaving, but I know that Presidente Durán is also called of God. 

So, we're good here! I complete 17 months tomorrow so that's a little weird..but we're all good!

I love you all and I'll send pics!

Saluuu Pues!

Con amor, Elder Loveless

Changes week!!

Hey everyone!! Like the subject says, this week were the changes. I just started my change number 13....wow. Time flies by. This last week Elder Goodman went home and also Elder Spencer Sabey from Saratoga Springs. So that's weird...jaja.

On Tuesday I got permission to go and receive the new missionaries with the other Assistants so I went there all day long and that was fun. On Wednesday we had the changes meeting and I received my new companion Elder Fallas de Costa Rica. He's a great kid. I'm learning patience, but he's good. So I'm in Colonial 1 training  and I'm also the district leader. In my district we have Elder Perez y Elder Diaz in Santo Tomas, Nosotros in Colonial 1, the secretaries Elder Brimley and Elder Hooley in Los Alpes and the hermanas area in trio in Colonial 2; Hermana Espinosa y Hermana Rosenlund are the Hermana Leaders and they're with Hermana Garcia. I have a good district. I also realized that I'm the oldest missionary in the zone...so that's super weird....jajaja

This week we spent a lot of time learning the area and finding new investigators. We put a couple of baptismal dates this week so that was good. And it's been raining non stop..I like that it's not hot but I'm getting sick of so much rain jaja.

Yesterday for my birthday well..we went to church and it was stake conference. Now there are no districts in our mission, only stakes. That's awesome. Also we have a new stake presidency. Presidente Panameño who was a counselor of Presidente Vásquez is the new Stake Presidente and I sent a pic home a long time ago when I was in Americas of a guy that looks like dad. He's the 1st counselor. It's cool. We worked normal afterwards and then ate pupusas with the Familia Henriquez. (I'll send pics). We're working super hard and trying to learn the area super fast. But Colonial is a cool place. All is good here. I love you all and wish you all a great week. Saluuu Pues!

Hey!

Hey everyone!! This week was another great one, but it was super crazy. Monday night I got a call from Elder Eve (My old companion and the asistant in centro) and he told me I had emergency changes....so Tuesday we all took a bus to the temple to see Elder Alonso, his wife, Elder Dale G. Renlund and his wife speak to us. That was so great. I got to shake his hand. He's a great guy. On Wednesday I had my last consejo de líderes (Leadership Council) and I went to a trainers meeting. I then went to my new area to learn it a little bit.

The rest of the week I was here learning the area with an elder that was already here. The area is basically dead...So I have a lot of work to do...Also I'M TRAINING AGAIN!!! I'm so excited to have another son. He gets here tomorrow, but I'll be with him on Wednesday, My new area is called Colonial 1 and I'm back in good ole San Salvador. Actually in the same church building. I saw a bunch of my converts yesterday so that was cool. Other than that, all is well. I have my camera again, I just need to take a bunch of pics....so forgive me this week jaja.

I'll have more to say next week...

I love you all and hope everyone has a great week! Saluuuuu Pues!

Con Amor, Elder Loveless

Mantequilla de Maní es el mejor! (Peanut butter is the best!)

Hey everyone! Saludos from good old San Miguel, where it's super cold...jajaja. Anyways, this week was a good one. We were able to do interchanges with the Zone Leaders from La Unión and it was good to return there. I enjoyed it. I forgot how hot it is there jaja. I worked with the ZL in their area in trio and Elder Hernandez went and worked with the District Leader and his companion in my old area.

This week, I won't lie, was a tough one. Lots of nos jaja. We've seen so many prophecies be completed in this place that are from the scriptures. But we fasted and Hermana Alma went to church yesterday and she came on her own. That made us happy. She's good, but still needs to get her answer if this is the true church or not.

Tomorrow we're gonna make the long journey to San Salvador to see Elder Dale G. Renlund! We're super stoked to hear him live. Then we're gonna stay in  San Salvador because on Wednesday, we have Mission Leadership Council. The members here are helping a little bit more now and they arranged a huge family night on Thursday so we'll see how that goes. I'm excited and hope that a lot of people can make it.

Anyways, everything is good here. I should be getting my camera tomorrow I hope, so I should be able to start sending pics again. Anyways, everything is good over here. Working super hard and preparing the mission for when Presidente Durán gets here at the end of June. I'm excited to meet him, but I'm gonna miss Presidente Vásquez a lot. I love that guy.

I love you all and hope everything is good. Kade Palmer! Send me pics!!! Have fun in San Francisco family!! I love you all. Saluuuuu Pues!
