Yeah, Wednesdays are my favorite, too. I get to go into town, usually go to the temple, and spend a lot of time sitting in the laundry room reading or just thinking about stuff, which is really good. I’m still really nervous for the field, though. It feels like everyone has just improved so much, yet I haven’t moved up at all. There was a fireside last night, as every Tuesday, and I didn’t understand the speaker. Ive
been here for 4 weeks, and I still cant understand. There are some beginners that can understand. Sometimes it just really bothers me, and the first month in the field is going to be really hard, I know it. The other thing is trying to learn scriptures and ask good questions. I don’t have any scriptures in my head and I’m not good at
asking questions. I have a lot on my plate, and I’m pretty sure I’m just working myself up. It´ll get really scary until the day I get out there, and then it´ll just start to become routine. Then Ill really start to enjoy it and time will just fly.
The weather here really isn’t too hot. Its transitioning from winter to fall right now, and the winters were never too bad. Slightly chilly, and the humidity didn’t help, but overall not too bad. I like it for the most part and its not like the worst thing. I think it will be a lot worse in Ecuador, but Ill adjust.
Thanks for all the news. I’m glad everyone is getting along well. Hunter is taking to soccer then? That’s good. I’m glad he actually tries. Now I can just teach him some stuff when I get home, then live my fantasy high school life vicariously through him. I was just going to wait for my son, but this is just as good.
About the camera. I don’t need a USB thing. I can buy one down here. I need you to look online for the WATTAGE. Like, how many watts it needs to charge, because I don’t know what to set my converter to. I have the owners manual, but it doesn’t say at all. Its not like a huge deal; I just wanna take some pictures with the Norte Americanos before we all go to the airport in two weeks. so if you could just go to google, type in "Wattage for Kodak M550" and then look through the links and
tell me what is says, that would be really good. Thanks. Maybe for my ipod, too, cuz I don’t know for that either. Its the "3rd Generation Classic 125 Gigs." Thanks. I hope you can find something. The ipod is just in case, by the way.Another thing. For my luggage, I can only take two fifty pound bags, and my carry on can only weigh like 7 or 8 pounds. The plane we are taking is supposedly really small, so that’s why. Which means I am going to have to leave a lot of stuff back here. I have no idea what that stuff will be, but just a heads up. I am honestly thinking of just wearing those big rain boots on the plane. Do you think that
would be ok? It would free up a whole bunch of weight, and I could fit more stuff in. I was also gonna wear like two shirts, and maybe some other stuff, but I think that that is a little extreme, probably.Yeah, I can pray for Brooklyn and Whitney. I know its hard. I remember in school how I always wished somebody would call me, but no one ever did. That’s probably one of the reasons that I never did play with anyone. I never made the initiative. But if they are, I dunno. Its gotta be difficult. Ill keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
I don’t have the address with me right now, actually. Did I not send it with one, or was it just no right? What do you mean by images, too? I’ll have to try to find it and retype it. I think once I get to Ecuador, they´ll just give it to me, but I dunno. Those first couple of weeks, or at least the first one, will be really hard, I think. Once I get adjusted, it´ll be way fast, but until then, yeah. Two weeks left! Whoo! This week flew by even faster than the last one. The days are so long, but it feels like I was just in here, like, two days ago. If its that fast here, it´ll be insane in the field. Which is good.
I love everyone at home, too. I pray for everyone every morning and night. I can feel the love from home, and I know you love me and keep me in your thoughts. Thank you for that, but don’t worry too much about me. I’m doing fine.
I hope dad gets better. I will pray for everyone. Again, only two weeks left. Heck yes. I was hoping to put my pictures online, but my camera completely died on the tour last week, which was super fun. Ate some food, not chicken, and today, all of us are ordering a ton of pizzas to Tottus, like, 18. Its gonna be so sweet. I’m excited.Well, I love everyone. Keep praying for me. I need it. I’m going to continue it, too. My scripture for the week, the only one I can remember, is Proverbs 21:19. I know, its not nice, but its hilarious. Oh, by the way, if they haven’t put up my mission scripture or plaque, and its no trouble at all, like, 0 percent, I would like to have my mish scripture be 2 Ne 31:20-21. But its prob too late. Está bien. No worries. Love you.
Love,Elder Reber
