Hey, thanks for keeping me filled in on everything. Its good to hear about stuff, and know Im being thought about. Dont worry too much about me. Im doing fine. Ill be doing ten times better once I get out of this prison.
But anyways, yeah, Im doing good, too. This last week went by so ridiculously fast. Probably the fastest of my whole life. Well, except for yesterday, which was way slow, but still. Other than that, its already freakin pday. Good stuff.
Some events: nothing. Haha, nothing ever happens here. Class, food, gym, class, teaching, class, bed. Its the same everyday, and I can never remember what happened the day before. Serious. I went through my journal, and read the days, and they are so lame, but I didnt do anything during those times. Oh, wait, a couple things happened. My new companion, who was supposed to be Elder Hastings, went home last thursday. Elder Poston told me the day before that he had been having thoughts of suicide and stuff, and he had been talking to President Whetten. The next day, I found out that he went home. So I didnt know what was up with me. Turns out Im in a group of three with Elder Poston, who was in my room, and an elder named Elder Cruz. Poston had Cruz before, and he hates hm with a burning passion. I dunno, it´ll be either really interesting or just really awful, but theres nothing I can do about it. Try to make the best of it, I suppose.Proselyting last week was not bien. We went out, and me and Elder Folonier went back to a guys house, Leoncio Lebón, that we talked to last week. Hes in my letter. But we taught him again, and I only opened my mouth three times. It was a two hour lesson. And only three times. I felt so stupid. These are what I said: 1. Hola. 2. I shared a scripture, which I tried to explain, and he couldnt understand me, so my comp did. 3. I tried to bear testimony, but he kept saying "Si. Si. Oh. . .Si. Si. Si. Oh, si. . . . . . . Si." It basically was pointless. And the worst part was that I could have jumped in anywhere, because I understood what was being taught. Like, the entire time. So that was a bust. After, we had like 30 minutes to go out, and we wanted to visit another guy from last week too, and we knocked, and his brother came out. We talked to him, well, Folonier did. I understood probably 10 words in the entire thirty minutes. All I understood was when he looked at me and said "Youre big." Um, yeah, I am. "How much do you weigh?" I didnt understand that, so Elder Folonier tried for like 2 minutes to explain it. I finally figured it out, but they use metrics down there, so when I said its in pounds, he didnt have any idea anyway. Apparently he was going to check out the church the next day, but it passed me. So I felt not really good after. Especially after other companionships stories. Oh well. I get to go out one more time before I leave here, so Ill make the best of that one.
My feet are ok. I think. The other night, the arches of my feet were hurting, and I dont know why. I really hope that it isnt like that when i am out proselyting, or there could be some real problems. But I dont think there will be. Today we get to go to a plaza, and get some real food, like a hamburger, and maybe get some souvenirs. I really dont know what to buy. Im not good with buying stuff like that. Same with when Im in Ecuador. Hopefully I can get some good stuff. We´ll see.
Well, Im almost out of time. Keep the stuff coming. I dont know how its going to be with letters out in the field, but it shouldnt be too hard or anything. I love and miss everyone, and hope they are doing ok. Thanks for the prayers.Um, Im supposed to leave a scripture or something, I think, but the last spot I read was like Genesis 40, about Esau and Jacob, so thats kinda boring. Maybe a different time. Love you.
Love,Elder Reber
