Update!

[NOTE: The last couple of communications from Josh have come in snippets and so they have not been posted. Suffice it to say: He got transferred to Burgess Falls, Tennessee. He has a new companion - Elder Santos from Barcelona, Spain - who he loves and is excited to be with (they have been telling people for a few months that they would be companions at some point). Burgess Falls is a new area for Spanish speaking missionaries, so they are opening a new area, with a new apartment (so new there was no furniture in it when they moved it ... including no beds). And they have been challenged to have a Spanish branch there in 3 months! This week's email follows:]

hey guys...your really going to hate me...i really dont have alot of time.
and honestly its due to the tornados that are dropping all over and the crappy weather were getting...i actually sent a pic of a tornado that i saw drop with my ver own eyes...it was about a mile from me and sooo flippin crazy.
but today were here, this last week was super chafa, santos had to go to sing in the choir so i was on exchanges with the english elders for the last 4 days...when we got here it was sooo flippin crazy...but that is a story that ill have to tell later all i can say is that satan really really dosent want us here...it was ver very clear upon trying to come over here and throughout our days together. but all is well santos and i are now reunited and with ganas we are going to tear it up here.
i sent pics!
and sunday i had to translate for the spanish agin...and i havent translated for sooo long...i was so nervous that it would be super crapy but it wasent i truly felt 3 min befor the sacrament a peace come over me and my mind started translating with such an ease that i have never had ever befor in my life...iam not going to lie it was really good, and it truly was beacuse of the help the lord gave me beacuse i have never never had that peace and ability befor in my best moment of speaking. it was odd how i fell back into the normal way of speaking afterwards. haha, so awsome is my god!
and iam really really sorry that i dont have a ton of time to write...i hope you dont hate me but we really have to get going. they told us that htere is another storm commin and we have to go and find somewhere to be. i love you all tons.
