The water and electricity is pretty consistent, there had only
been three days we didn’t have water.
The power goes out a couple times a week but usually only for
10 minutes or so. I know he has been looking for the water heater thing
I went into a store with him one day when we were on splits. Also this
week, I went on splits with Elder D. because both of our companions were sick.
Mine was sick for 2 days with a fever over 40 degrees Celsius, but he
is taking antibiotics so he is better. We just went to a laboratory and had his
blood sampled and then we sent it to the nurse. We did this in our town. There are
a lot of laboratories.
Does your district or zone take in Copan ruins? Will you be able to
visit then?
We went to Copan ruins today it was expensive, but it was
interesting and really wasn’t that expensive I think I spent near 500 lempiras
so a quarter of the money I have for the next two weeks, but it was a
fun p day. How far away are the ruins
from your house? We rented a bus to get
to the ruins today. It was like an hour
and a half in a bus going a very high speed around tight curves. Some people were
getting carsick, but no one threw up, thank goodness. I have a lot of pictures
that I will send. I also bought a shirt
for 90 lempira. For Lunch we ate more
in the center of the city, not at the ruins itself it is a tourist trap and is
expensive. The picture of the red drink was from lunch today it was like a
strawberry slush it was good. Was that the first birds that you have
seen?
How was your week? Ok, but
sometimes it was frustrating with the language. Sometimes I can’t even ask my
companion a question because he will take everything wrong and avoid questions.
But other than his misunderstandings and my
fears to talk to people, it has been ok.
What was your spiritual experience this week? Teaching with
Elder D. on splits. We taught lesson #2 to N. and M., Spanish
was easy, I only messed up on a couple things and asked how to say the Word. I
wish it were always like that, just to see how the gift of tongues can work was
amazing. Other than that time, Spanish has
been really hard this week, but it will come over time. We had
3 investigators come to church this week. N., M., and one other family’s
kids.
Have you had to bear your testimony or speak in church yet? Or teach
a lesson? I have not had to speak in church or bear my testimony thank
goodness. But I have taught some parts of lessons.
Are the members starting to feed you more often? Are you loosing or
gaining weight? I think that I am the same weight. The members feed us about 3
days a week but just one meal. Did your
favorite grandma member feed you lunch this week? Yes. But it had the heart and guts in it. But
that is normal; I just don’t like to eat that.
Madi wants to know the strangest thing you have eaten? Chicken with all
the guts. I only ate the heart and then when no one was looking I threw it out
in to the Street and a dog ate it.
Are you still visiting the same members everyday? No we are
not visiting the same members every day I finally got him to change that.
What service did you do this week?
We moved someone. I ripped my
pocket partially off my shirt but it was only the stitches, so I can fix it
easily.
I think that I might go and buy a blanket. In the mornings it
is really cold.
I made pancakes; I don’t trust my companion’s cooking because he
doesn’t understand sanitation that well.
I share most of the time, but
when he was sick he didn’t want pancakes so he had cereal. Syrup is easy to find and it is cheap, really
in dollars but in lempiras it seems expensive. Yes I buy my eggs in the store I
bought 15 eggs; I need to start eating more eggs. Milk comes in bags.
Have you had any thing close to Chinese food? No, but there is a Chinese restaurant, maybe
we will have to go and try it.
How are the buses or tuck tucks?
Which do you like Better? Send a picture of the tuck tucks, are they leftover from India or new? There are both types. I found my new second favorite car, the
Toyota land cruiser truck. There are a
lot of beaters. I will try and take pictures of the cars. The busses range from
ok to terrible.
Love you son work hard. I
will do my best. I am glad to be your
son. Thanks for being supportive good and loving parents. I love you all.
Love you and good-bye for another short week.
