Texas Houston East mission

I opened my mission call a few weeks back and to my suprise I had been called to T.H.E. mission of the chuch. Of course, T.H.E. stands for Texas Houston East mission but man I really was shocked when my grandpa said those words. I have mixed emotions about going down there because I know alot of people down there and they are really kinda arrogant. But I guess that will be my job to bring them down and see how the Lord can make thier lives better. I leave on January 13th, and I am really busy getting things collected and done before I leave.
Also, one of my best friends came home recently returned from his mission from Salta Argentina and having him home has really helped me with the spanish that I will be speaking. Oh I forgot, I will be speaking spanish which I'm really excited for because I know that I will just learn so much more know. Back to Travis or Big Papi as I like to call him, he is just so happy now and I just feed off of his enthusiam for everything.
