Way cool tho glad they are both excited. You should tell them congrats or something and from me too. Not sure if I responded to everything but this week is a mess and I have way less time so Im just gonna send my keyboard letter now
Dear Mom,
Interesting week this week. Im real sorry I forgot to tell you about the change to wedensday. My b. Ur prolly freakin out. Im sorry! its cuz we are going to the temple hoy. But this week was cool. Lessons w familia lopez and Salvador are going great. Even tho Salvador thinks we are a cult and worship John Smith. Last week we went to Genesis like 3 hours away but it was like a freakin giant thrift shop it was tight. NFL jerseys for 1 dolor. Dont tell dad but the two jerseys are for him. Got some sick ties and shoes too. All cheap. And a football. I actuually really miss football. Its been raining like a stupid amount its crazy. Lot of landslides and stuff but in our neighborhood we wont have to worry. Just scared for some investigators. Cool story is we fasted this week. I did a few times cuz ortega forgot on sunday, and we didnt eat on the bus ride monday. But tuesday we fasted and right after we ended it we found a house for sale. Then 2 more. So we are hoping to set up a group here soon. We are gonna have to work hard to get it in church shape tho. And we still have to see if it gets approved. Primera Dios. Been eating a lot of baloney stuff w thousand island dressing and bread, sometimes moldy haha. Its good tho. I put popcorn and chips in it. They have chips here called jalapenos that are BOMB. Not sure what else I am missing but you will get filled in when u read my journal in a lil haha. I have eaten pupusas 3 straight nights too, at the time I wrote this. Got to make fireworks with the 7 fingered, one foot man in his lil shack factory. Got an awesome forro for my scrips too, peep the pics. Tried to make chocobanannas, didnt work. One lady, Norma is on date but cant read and doesnt understand my spanish. At one point she thought I said faith is distrust in God and got mad. But usually she just agrees w everything and clearly doesnt get it. But she came to church sunday which was amazing. We pluck beans and uncob corn for her sometimes, she is an amzing cook. But people here sometimes dont wanna learn they wanna seem like they already know, then go off and you lose the point. Nobody really listens. And the people that do live an hour away from church or are dirt poor or have friends who tell them to ignore us. Its tough. But we aint quitting. Looks like the area is getting shut down tho. Im gonna do all I can but the ZLs told us we are decreasing by 4 missionaries in the zone next cambio. Learned how to deliver a baby too, Ortega asks a bunch of questions lol. Excited for the temple tho! Sorry I forgot to tell you. Also This week has been so crazy amazing. I got a pic of me giving a Word of Wisdom to some drunks, I sliced my hand open during a street futbol game, we did it to contact, cooked tortillas, saw some crazy views, dont post any views yet tho cuz the best are coming. And some some crazy miracles. Ive been taking more initiative recently and still not real comfortable with spanish but usually I can say what needs to be said. Even gave a lil presentation in Primary, so I thought of you. Love ya!
Yeah some of our investigators are nuts and have cool jobs. That and people just talk down here with no filter so I get everything. Gyna is flip flop. We dont know how to spell. And yeah me and my comp are like really good buddies. We sing and party to hymns in SPanglish. He doesnt love working sometimes, bought an 80 dollar camera thats basically a samsung galaxy, actually it is, and told me he wants to be a clown someday. Not joking. So he is an interesting dude. But we have a good time and I like it. I am sad I have to change companions in a week. Hopefully I get to stay in this district to help transition. Temple was way dope! I will talk about it in my email nextnmonday. But I loved it. And yeah packing is gonna be weird lol. Love you tho! If I get booted Ill talk to you Monday!
can you send mw noahs email?
also add ammon.murphy at myldsmail.net please
and yeah almost positive I get a newbie and that the area is closing, although we put 4 on date this week so who knows. Best week in history of Santiago. we will see. Time is weird. Short term crazy fast, long term not so much.
And yeah she kinda went off. I can only deliver hispanic babies tho
To Trevor:
Hey just saw this. We have a laundry lady but she is not good. Are clothes are dirty and she loses them or gives them to the wrong missionaries cuz our whole rama uses her services. We have a microwave, although I dont use it much anymore, only sometimes when I need popcorn. We have a mini fridge too. And a hot plate but its sketch we used it once. Money is good. A mess but good. I usually am fine but will prolly pull some out to be safe.
And yeah theres a buncha people leaving here, a petition is going around. Can you give me the US side? we are worried for some of these people. And political stuff is heating up too, elections are close.
