Wow well the time passes by so fast that it can’t almost be 10
months but it is. It is really fun to be with a white companion because you can
actually talk about things that you have in common because all of the Latinos don’t
understand much about our lives.
What did you do for p-day? We decided that we wanted to go to the
beach so we went to the beach and it was really fun. We just played catch with
a little foam football and just sat under a cabana and well we thought that
they were going to charge us because they usually do and one of the guys we
found there comes up to us and we asked him if he was going to charge us and he
said heck no I am the owner of all this. What did you eat for lunch at the beach?
We
ate Wendy’s they have a new burger with onion rings, bacon and bbq sauce.
What was your spiritual experience for the week? I think that the
spiritual experience this week was realizing that next week we can have a
baptism in La Jutosa it should be very fun and rewarding. We had a lot of lessons with I, he
turned 9 this week and we are going to baptize him this week. But I have just been
feeling that everything that we have been doing isn’t a waste because we can
finally see progress. We should have a joint baptism because one of the 8 year
olds from the branch will be getting baptized on the same day.
Do you have any baptism dates? This week on the 11th
I. he is 9 years old.
Next week 18 M. and 16 Sister D.
How many people were at church on Sunday and how many investigators
did you have? We had 35 people in church and 1 of them was our investigator
Ismael.
Tell us a funny thing that happened this week. Funniest thing that
happened this week was when I was walking in the street and well there was a dog
that started to follow me and I turned around and there were like 3 dogs and
the next thing I knew my heel was in the dogs mouth he bit me. I was a little
mad because the dog bit me without reason he didn’t even bark but he only got
my shoe and he tore a little bit on the back of my shoe. I am good and I am
happy that he only bit me there and not on my thigh. Did the owner of the dog
say anything? Did he call him off? No the dog just
bit me and the owner really didn’t do anything he just made a sound and I kept
on walking. Where was your
companion? My companion was right next to me. How is your shoe? My shoes are fine,
it just left a gouge in the leather but they will last the rest of my mission.
How is your fungus? Its getting
better but there is still a little bit left. But I am sick of taking the pills
and creams for it.
What are you studying this week? I am still reading in 1 Nephi I
have been using a study book and well the most interesting part I read was when
Nephi began to ask leman and Lemuel if they had inquired of God and they say no
and well believe that God won’t contest their prayers. This is one of the
problems that I see in almost every one of the investigators is that they
really don’t believe that God will respond to their prayers.
How is your companionship going? It’s going really well, we have a
lot of fun all of the time. The hardest part this week was the fast because it
was long and we did it from breakfast to dinner and not lunch to lunch. My comp
was a little irritated during the whole fast because he was hungry, which was
pretty funny.
Are people watching the women's FIFA’s world’s cup soccer this week?
No I have not seen it.
What we did for the 4th of July. First of all we cooked crepes in
the morning and they turned out really good, there are some pictures but I will
send one in a second. And then we went out and taught and then in the night we
had a grilling party with a family of members we cooked hotdogs with cheese in
them and buns mustard and relish. Well it was really good and really fun to
cook this and they tasted really good.
The
crepes look great, where did you get the cream? and did you pick the
bananas? I bought a can of
whip cream. Did your companion like
them?
The crepes were really good and I think I will make them more often. My comp
was always talking about the crepe place behind elements, so that why I made
them.
Have
you been sleeping in your hammock, or on a bed? I sleep in a bed
but the bed has a big old hole in it and it is very uncomfortable. Yes the rainy season is in like 3 months it
will rain a lot. I sleep well because I have like a 23-inch fan blowing right
on me.
Have
you got any letters? Yes I got a
birthday card but I was waiting for my birthday to open it. Well you only have a few more
weeks till your birthday. Maybe you will
have to make YOU a cake. No, I don’t want a
cake. I want something different. Wish we could take you out
for your B day I could put extra money in your account and you could go to
dinner. We will see, I will just use my card.
I might go to San Pedro because my comp might need a doctors appointment for
some tests. I will put extra money in
your account and PLEASE go to a nice place for dinner for you birthday. We shall see when we go if we have time. What is wrong with your
companion? He has had some migraines
but he is better, he hasn’t had any problems while he has been with me.
Well I am out of time now I just have a couple minutes more but it
has been
real fun to talk to you this day. I hope that everyone is doing good
and
that my family will get back from trek. Next
week make sure that they
upload the pictures. Thanks for talking with me grandma and for all
the
time that you have talked with me. I hope that you will have a good
week
Tell hello to Katy, Joan and George and everyone else. Love you all.
