Alright, well hello everybody,
Everything is going well for us, Can´t complain. Ha we had a baptism this last sunday morning, and i baptized her. Her name is sonía Contreras. She can´t read and to be honest just isn´t very smart. So we had to change our teachings a bit to fit her needs, Which is what we do for every investigator. It goes like this, when we find some people that are interested in our message, we ask questions and find out a need they have that we can teach them. Then after teaching we listen to see if they remembered what we have taught. This is the cycle for everything, Its just a big teaching circle. So yeah thats what happens. Here we do some door knocking to find people. We don´t really do any contacting in the street unless we feel prompted to. Because in our area, its like way ghetto. It is so hard to find someones house, they would probably describe it like this, oh yeah i live down that street and the yellow house by the tree and the cow. Ha it is very difficult, so we do door knocking mostly. This last week we found these two old ladies on this side street, and they are so awesome. Hah i lov´em. there would be like the cool old ladies on the block back home. Hah they just have so much of their youth still in them. And they are taking to the gospel really well! Totally going to get baptized!
So a little bit about my area, so basically everything is sloping upwards toward the volcano, So its not flat, well not all the time. alright well about our little house. The size would be like the one living room, we have with the big windows, and probably the other dining room too. So just those two rooms, and thats being generous too. I think it would be less than that size. But that contains our sleeping room, room with our clothes, and kitchen-study area. We have a refrigerator, a little mini stove thing that you plug into the wall and it has two coils, we don´t really use that though. and a sink, which we found out this week has a hole near the mouth of the drain, ha that was fun. so now if we need to wash some plates or bowls we do it out of the bathroom sink. Yes i have a mattress. The city probably has a few thousand people in it. like...10. i have no idea im just guessing.
Thank you for the future package, I´m sure all of that will taste awesome! oh i don´t need a CTR ring, i´ve never been much of a ring wearer.
So about the Pres Hinkley emails, there good, but they do take up a lot time, so just dont send them. oh also about mail. i just got your pouch mail stuff, i wouldn´t send it through the church stuff, it takes way too long! almost a month to get to me.
So i think from what E. Brotherson has said, i will be here for probably 6 months, or so.
That is so awesome to hear that Adam Bryner is heading out! thats way sweet! and i can´t wait to hear where Brayden goes.
Hah thats funny dad to hear about the snow white thing, i had a good laugh. And wow its 44 degrees! wow. I think the people here would die if it got that cold! so the hottest its gotten here was 97 degrees i think. I have it on my alarm clock, which is cool that it can record what the past temp has been. Right, so about the walmart thing, there is a store in our area, that is bought by walmart, called despert don juan... its something close to that. I know that i spelled it wrong, but i haven´t checked to see if it has a pic thing. I will check today. So if i sent the memory card home in a letter it would probably get there in about 3 weeks.
For breakfast i usually have some cereal, frosted flakes. Yumm! and maybe some peanut butter, it depends if we do some lifting in the morning.
Oh and when we kick rocks and stuff, its not like gruesome. You make it sound like we are trying to kill eachother. Its just what ever is on the ground in front of us. Hah except dog poop!! Thats off limits. most of the time its just small rocks, pebbles and stuff. well i got to go i love you all.
