Hey Family!

Sorry I've been lame at writing weekly emails-I know it's been awhile! I have been super consumed with lots of stuff to do, that's a bad excuse but I'll use it this time for good fortune. Next time I'll think up a good story about casting out some demons or calling fire down from heaven as a better excuse.

Well, I was reassigned to be a Zone Leader again. I guess I was on everyone's las nerve's in the office so they booted me out. All the better though-now I have more time to focus on missionary work rather than a computer and a longing for Jared's technological wizardry. I have been having an awesome week and I'm real excited about the change. My mission president moved the Assistant's area to Broomfield and left me in the same area with a new companion. I'd like to flatter myself and say he made the move because he loves and respects me so much, but it's more likely that he's just trying to do some kind of damage control and isolate the "elder cabrera problem" to a specific region. Anyways, my new comapnion is Elder Hollingsworth. He's from Colfax, California and he's an opera singer. Everytime I introduce him to other people I let them know where he's from and that he is a world renowned opera singer who sung with Andrea Bocelli in the Sidney Opera house. He loves that :). Sometimes when we are tracting we run into people who, as soon as they find out the Mormons are on their doorstep, they start to slam the door with an "I'm not interested". That's when I tell them that Elder Hollingsworth is an opera singer and is going to serenade them.

I am enjoying the blessings of serving the Lord. There's never been a happier period in my life. I hope you each enjoy your week and have awesome experiences!
