To answer your question, Mom, I use an umbrella. I haven't broken out the jacket yet. It doesn't matter anyway. I'll get soaked no matter what, even my backpack. I've just come to take that as part of life. jajajaja It is always raining.
So here is a list of things I didn't expect to miss:
1. doorknobs
2. pine trees
3. traffic rules
4. being cold
5. lots of Mormons
6. Fords
I keep having dreams of
playing football. I guess I'm missing it a lot here in the land of fútbol. I
have officially decided that I am in a very foreign place. Como the
electricidad problem. I haven't had electricidad for about a week now
and it stinks. We can't buy anything really. The milk will taste good as long
as it isn't open but then it goes bad in a day because we have no
power for our refrigerator. Everything goes bad so it looks like
I'll be eating granola bars for a little bit. Today I'm going to try an
awesome ice cream cone. It is two scoops on a waffle cone with a donut
on top!!!!
I'm excited for Denton. In all honesty that was the mission I hoped for but here is great, too. I'm
learning so many things here like how to live without electricidad; or
how to deal with new bug bites on my body every morning; or how to
shower in water that is super cold; also how to deal with discouragement
because our investigators aren't progressing and yes I'm discouraged
with that. We had an investigator who was going to
come to church with us but right as we got to his house he came out
crying because his brother had just died. It was really sad so I think
tomorrow we will go to his house to teach him about the Plan of
Salvation. The sad thing about here is everyone wants to hear about
Christ right? Which is great. But not one of them wants to leave their
crazy Evangelico churches which are weird especially when they speak in
tongues. That part is just weird. They just mumble which freaks me out
every time.
I feel bad for South this year. They are just really inexperienced - just like my comp and me. My comp has been on his mission
a month more than me so it isn't his fault that training is difficult. We are just really inexperienced and it kind of stinks but oh well. I really hope I
get the language down more because I am not good right now. The mission just gets faster and faster. I see how it can feel
like no time at all.
TJ emailed me about how grateful he is that I'm his friend
it was good to hear from him. I'm proud of what he is doing. He has had
it rough the past few years and he is a great kid. I'm proud of him for the decision he made to go on a mission.
Well I think my hour of email is up. I hope everything is
good with everyone and I can't wait to get your Dear Elders!!!!!!
Con Amor,
