I did get my package. And don’t
worry it doesn’t have as much to do with when you send it because it goes from
you guys to Texas. And the guy there
brings it over the boarder to our mission.
The place he drops the packages off at is far from the mission offices,
where we go to collect our packages. So we have to wait until the elders from
that other area bring all of the packages over to the offices. And, trips aren’t made that often, so I think
it has to do with that.
But I really liked the package it
was great. The pants are a bit too big but apart from that everything is great.
I love the little bag that you sent me it is perfect. The treats were all great
too, my companion and I already downed almost all of them. The sweater is nice
and warm. Thank you all for the letter. And the pens and little journals were
great too.
This week went really well. The
second day I was with my companion we were contacting this lady on a bench in a
park. And after we got her information
and had taught her a bit we got up and started to head out then this guy came
over and contacted us. He said he had lost everything because of drugs…his
house, wife, kids. He said he wanted help. We talked to him for a bit and put a
time to meet him in the same spot the next day. The next day we went and he didn’t
show up.
But the other day we were walking
down the street and this guy started honking at us, passed us and said wait
here as he drove by, he drove by too fast for us to see but he stopped up ahead.
The guy that hopped out was the guy we had talked to. He told us that since
that day he had talked with us he hadn’t fallen back and done drugs. He
found us Saturday and asked us where the church was and we gave him the
direction and he ended up coming the next day to church with us. The guy is
really cool and we have a meeting with him again on Tuesday. So we will
see what goes down.
Training is going great my companion
Elder Heindel is really cool. He speaks really quite a bit already, he
conjugates his verbs, speaks pretty clearly, and he learns really fast. We
get along great and overall the training is going really well. I am still
district leader too over the same district. Our district works crazy hard, or
as we say here como negros, and we are doing really well.
Emily is growing up really fast
and getting really big. That is cool you guys are looking for the
missionaries when you are out and about. Tell Emily that I miss her
too. I only have 9 months left. before the mission that seemed like a
lot but now the time moves differently, a lot faster so I will be there
before we know it.
I did hear that something went down
in France but I wasn’t sure what. I heard someone say something about a
bombing or something by terrorists on the Eiffel Tower, but I didn’t know
it was a bunch of shootings. I hear a bunch of gossip from the people we
contact in the streets.
Someone told me that Wiz Khalifa and
Kanye West and Donald trump are running for president and that Donald trump
looks like he is going to win. I also was told that Obama left his wife for a singer
or something like that. Everything sounds like it is really crazy but I
have no idea how much is true.
Yes we do still get to eat with the
members every day, but from what I know there is nothing planned for this day. We
will see what happens, a lot of times the members just give us 50 pesos each. Who
knows what we will do but I hope it involves a pumpkin pie.
As for stuff to stick in my Christmas
package, I have only come up with some salted nuts so far, but I will try and
come up with more ideas.
