Hello everybody how are you all doing? Well it sounds like the weather is turning bad up there for you guys haha. Well here it hasn't changed one bit, still hot as ever and sweatin' more then ever, also lol I'm getting fed a ton. I think that that is one of God's tender mercies how all the members feed us so much. We have lunch every day at 1 and then through the night we see a member and they buy us food or invite us in for tacos at 9:30 at night. Ahh yeah it's a hard decision because 9:30 is when were suppose to be in the casa but you aren't supposed to refuse food also because it's impolite so we eat real fast and go to bed on a full stomoch:) Elder Eetuerto says that we get fed more then he ever has through his 15 months here. Haha, I love it. Haha one of my more favoite meals here is rice with a egg on it- yeah coming from the kid who hates rice. They just cook it different here, it's really good. I think the rice is different here also but yeah:) I was so happy to hear form you all this week, I was pretty worried last week. I got 3 Dear Elders on Tuesday and I was so happy:) It was from the fair week:) I loved reading them a lot. Ok so this is how the mail works- all our missions mail is sent to the same place and the assistants collect it and distribute it to the zone leaders and then on Tuesday during our district meeting the zone leaders give us our mail. This is why the green sticker is so important for packages because we don't pick up the mail- they do and the green sticker allows for them to pick it up even though their name isn't on it. I haven't gotten a letter from Sarah yet but I'm expecting it tomorrow most likely. I hope!!!:) This last week has FLOWN by sooooo fast I can't believe it. Not any baptisms but oh well, I guess they aren't everything, I just wish I knew what it was like to have one.
So a little bit about my week: Monday was p-day and I bought oatmeal and have had it every morning for breakfast:) A great little taste of home:) Tuesday nothing spectacular. Wednesday and Thursday we had a service project and we painted the house of Hermana Linda (I'll send pics) haha it was so funny. I was the only one who knew what I was doing. I had to teach them all how to paint otherwise there would have been spots EVERYWHERE and paint all over the ceiling and floor. I was the brush man because I was the only one that didn't get paint on the ceiling. It was so fun. First time I've broken a sweat doing anythng but walking in the sun all day. The other days were pretty normal though:) Oh yeah and here, when its ward temple day, there isnt a member to be found. Wow they are so dedicated, the young men and women also. Wow they all go and go to all chuch activities which is all but 3 nights a week- its impressive. The people here are really great to us. The language is coming slowly, I'm just learning at a steady pace now. I really wish it was faster though. I get really frustrated during lunch when they talk to me and i say que? which is what cuz i dont understand so they say it again twice as fast and then laugh and say {el no entiende} which is "he doesnt enderstand" BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT and the first 10 times is fine but I get really frustrated after that and just smile and laugh. But I feel like crap inside, I hate it. I hope I learn this launguage fast. I wanna be useful so bad but I'm not. Everything I say my comp repeats because they don't understand me. AHHH oh well. Thank you for telling me about Logan Fulgum- wow that took my breath away when I read that, wow I can not even believe that- like really wow. He was such a good kid. But we all know where he is and he is saved. That's all there is to it. I'm in shock right now but it's all good. Thank you for telling me!!
I love you all so much:) Thank you for everything:) Oh and yeah don't worry about sending packages, I would rather you just save your money or what ever you were going to send and give it to me after the mission, I don't need packages. I can almost get anything I need here:) Thank you so much for everything, I love you so much!!:) Love Elder Profaizer:)
