(I emailed a message to Devon on his FB page about someone he met in his mission)
I am SO SAD TO HEAR THAT THAT BROTHER DIED NO, He was so awesome mom, seriously you have no idea how amazing that guy was, they loved the missionaries and they were an amazing family. Send this to the facebook page:
Familia Quiroga,
Quiero que sepan que su familia ha cambiado las vidas de muchas otras familias, incluyendo la mia. Sé que el Hermano esta con nuestro Padre Celestial. El les ama demasiado. Yo sé que ustedes volverán a vivir juntos como una gran familia celestial. Les amo mucho y sé que pronto, nos volveremos a ver. Estan en mis oraciones y en mi corazon. Que tengan paz y el Espiritu del Señor con ustedes.
Con amor,
Elder Healey
That is a little note for the family. They are very special and I hope they are taking the loss well.
Well coming back to the work here, things are really really great. Elder Rivera and I had a great week we are working really hard and having tons of fun! BUT, Last night we got the changes call and..... I am OUTTA HERE.
BUT!
I am super stoked.... because!
I am GOING BACK TO MY SECOND AREA. That's right, I am returning to Libertad. I am super super stoked. I never ever saw this coming, and I am super excited to be going back. I will be finishing the training of a new Elder and I am really looking forward to the work we will do there. After 15 months of running around, I am returning back to my second area with some new tricks and powers up my sleeve. It is going to be a good time. My companion will be Elder Meyers, a ball player, so that should be really good.
I have completed my sister mission because sisters only serve 18 months and I have finished 18 months on the mission now hahahaha.
I hope that all goes well with the university sign up! I am really looking forward to entering into study again!!! :)
I am glad to hear that all is well back home. We are really good here, this week it was extremely hot once again and I died 6 times. That was fun. Then I died again. But oh well we are almost done the summer.
I love the story of the 2000 young warriors, the story of how the Lamanites, who were the strongest and most powerful army in the whole land, were SCARED of these 2000 young warriors because they were fighting with the power of God, that is a sick story.
Well mom, things are really good and I am still loving the work. I only got 4 transfers left! Time is flying by and I am not happy about it, but it is okay. The other day an angel appeared to me and gave me my Nephite armor, so I am going to be the 4th Nephite. (Ahhh, he got his wish....in his dreams)

A long time ago, in a country far far away.... (meant to be read with star wars music)
Alright I got creative this morning and wanted to start off with a little Star Wars feelings. During personal studies the Star Wars theme song entered my head and it was awesome. So I hope you enjoyed that little intro.. hahahahahaha I sure did.
Well! I am back in Libertad!! And it is AWESOME! It is a nice and poor area, divided in two. This is the area where I had that companion with whom I didn't get along with! So its nice to be back with a good companion! I am so happy to be here and to be training!!! Elder Meyers is from North California! He is a farm boy! He worked with cows on the huge farm since he was 10! He is a big guy and really funny, loves basketball and is willing to work! He doesn't speak Spanish super good now so I am helping him with that. We are getting along really well and loving the work. He has 3 months in the mission! Just a little guy. We are going to play some ball today.
The area rocks, I was so happy to see all my converts. You should have seen their faces when they saw me. They could not believe it. Yesterday the ward was really happy to see me as well and they were all really excited to have me back. I must have had a good impact on the ward! I am not a zone leader anymore! President has given me a little break!! Hahahaha its so nice now I have some time to study at night and read and write in my journal and rest up extra. That is relaxing.
I love you tons and time is flying by! I cant believe the dreaded day is getting closer and closer!
