Yeah, it was pretty cool. I am really glad I got to have the experience of doing it. He is a really cool guy, and I know that he will be happy. As for the ward thing, I think that it is a really good idea. The members in our ward really. . . well, they suck. They don’t do jack shiz. But its ok: We are working with them, or at least my comp is, and I just follow, haha. That’s usually how it seems to go here, but I’m ok with that. Once my Spanish just kicks in, I think that everything that I do will just be that much better. I don’t really know about the furniture anymore. He might’ve just forgotten. If so, oh well. It was still a way cool thing.
About the new comp, he isn’t here yet. We’re gonna go pick him up in like an hour or two. I dunno what to think. He’s a latino, so it’ll be really interesting trying to communicate. What I’m honestly afraid of is my comp and him kinda just talking, and I get left out. I’m kinda, sadly, ok with that, but at the same time, I won’t really learn anything if I never get to talk either. It’s a weird situation. I don’t
wanna be lazy, but that’s probably the best word for it. I dunno. It´ll all be ok, I think.Haha, for Thanksgiving, I have no idea what we´ll be doing. I would be willing to bet that we don’t get anything. It’s possible, I guess, but probably not likely. Its kinda sad, too, because we´re running kinda low on investigators right now, and the ones we have are super broke and dirt poor. But its not really that much of a problem. I have basically forgotten that it is Thanksgiving this soon. Thursday, yeah? I dunno. Haha, but no worries. It´ll pass, just like the other days. I
have been thinking about home a lot though, especially recently. I dunno. Here in the mission, they use the term "trunky." It basically means that I think about home a lot. My comp says that I have been the worst one for it, cuz we always quote movies and stuff. Its fun, though. No more after today, cuz the new comp won’t be able to understand.It sounds like everything back at home is still really good. I’m glad to hear that. The usual, yeah? Nice. Yeah, everything will probably be the same here for three weeks, and then Elder Evenson might leave. We´ll see. Then I’ll officially be a missionary. I’ve only been here six weeks, but it feels like forever! Haha, its weird. I dunno.
Sorry I don’t have too many stories. I can never really remember anything that happens. I have it pretty detailed in my journal, but its always just boring. Santa Domingo is more just of a quiet place, not much going on. I can’t even really remember any super cool lessons or anything. I need to start writing it all down. I’m gonna, I just decided.
Yeah, about the packages, I dunno. If Parker says its good, hopefully its good. They have a thing called "Mail Jail" here where it´ll go if its bad. Hopefully it doesn’t, cuz its like a hundred bucks to get it out. I dunno. Do what you think. Don’t forget the picture of the Virgin and Jesus and stuff!
Ummm, the blackberry thing would be really cool. I don’t think that it is bad, and if it is, I don’t know, so its ok. No worries. If you could do it, I would like it. But if not, its not like super super bad. Just whatever you can.
Haha, it sounds like everyone is really super pumped for Thanksgiving! I am glad to hear it. I hope that it is really fun for everyone. I think that it will be, honestly. Obviously.
One last thing, did you know you can dedicate houses? I read it in the back of our mission manuel. I had never heard of it. Was ours? If not, Dad should totally look into it. That would be really cool. The priesthood is just incredible. I’ve already given four blessings: Three anointings and one actual. I butchered the crap out of it, but it worked, I think.
Well, I’m gonna send some pics now, but thanks for everything. I can feel your prayers, and I think about you guys a lot. It may be bad to do it, but I dunno. Right now, I’m still in the "I´d be fine with leaving" stage. Give it a month or two, then I’ll be super listo to just stay. (Listo means ready.) I love all of you, and I know that this church is true. Super super true. I am so glad that I decided to come here, and now I really know that this is true happiness. Hahaha, honestly, I’ve been thinking about temple marriage sometimes! I dunno. not good. Gotta wait two years for that one. Although, there is this little 14 year old that was trying to flirt with me last night. . . . Who knows?
Love,Jace
