Ah so sorry I can't ever give you guys a ton of information, I have to email president first and usually some old companions about some
important missionary stuff like what's up in my old area and Como se llama la
mamá de hermana Eunice y donde vivé y es miembro o no?[What's Sister Eunice's mom's name and where does she live and is she a member ?] and stuff like that. And I usually go in order of who emailed me during the week and you usually email
like last so yeah..
Yeah I got to watch [General ]conference and it was awesome! Well the
last 4 talks were... the rest I had to watch in Spanish and it was so tiring
sitting in the dark chapel for 4 hours trying to listen attentively and
translate the talks from Spanish to English.. I didn't get a ton out
of the first 3 sessions but during the last one my district leader decided to
have mercy on me and invited me along with this other gringo elder in my
district to watch it on the other room in English with this couple who is
trying to learn English. My favorite of these was.... ok I don't remember his
name... cambridge or something? He talked about Joseph Smith and the
"flood of revelation" in stark contrast from the beliefs of the world
that came to him in a very short time.
Yeah every once in a while I remember that I only have a year
left. It's super weird, I feel like I JUST got here and I should still be being
trained... But hey now I'm training. So that's cool.
"This weird fruit
called cayomitos."
My companion's name is
Hermana T. She's super great and doesn't even need to be trained. We
dominate lessons and are kinda learning the area together cause this area
is still super new for me. She's from Coahuila Mexico and she plays the flute
and she likes show tunes. Yeah, she's my first companion that knows and likes
musicals. Sometimes when we're walking we'll sing songs from Les Mis or Phantom
or something, but we change the words to make it about missionary
work. Needless to say, we get along very well together. I'll send
pictures!
Ok I don't have time again but I want to tell you about this
guy Freddy. He's the husband of a member and at first never accepted the
missionaries, but then they started having problems with their marriage and
he's trying to save his marriage and is taking the lessons from us. Which is
only slightly unsettling cause we're pretty sure that's the only reason he's
listening to us.. and it's a very noble cause, but he needs a testimony of his
own ya know?
"Carlos, the kid we
baptized. He rocks."
"Us again, with Irvin
this time. Irvin is who baptized Carlos. He rocks too."
So anywho he's like the greatest investigator and always has
questions and in a week and a half he read like the first 16 chapters of Nephi
and he has all these inspired questions and he retains information like none
other. And if all goes according to plan we're going to baptize him on the
26th!! Which will be like record time for us cause that's the date that we put
for him in the first lesson, and almost nobody ever actually gets baptized on
the date they put in the first lesson. So pray for Freddy.
Ah I want to say more but I'll just send pictures and hope
that's enough
Love you all bye!
