Dear Family,
Hey, yeah, I’m doing fine. Just the same ol same ol, nothing really new has passed. I’ll look through my agenda to see if I had any cool stories, but I doubt it. I can never remember anything of what happened. Ah well. Maybe some day. It sounds like you guys are having a ton of fun at home. Really cool that the missionaries could come over. I´d like to see some photos of them, too. How was their lesson? How long have they been out? Anyway, enough of that.
Yeah, we´ve been workin. This last week wasn’t very productive, but I had an insane confidence builder doing divisions on Friday. I went to a different sector with a gringo named Elder Smith, and he’s kinda new, so I had to contact and teach basically alone. I didn’t know if I would be able to, because this freakin Perez never stops talking, but I did it really well and I know that I can. It would obviously be a lot better to practice and take it one step at a time, but we´ll just have to see how it all goes. AND I don’t really have a lot of fear for changes now, so that’s cool. Lastly, it just barely hit me how routine everything is starting to feel. Like, just the weeks and finding and teaching and inviting and everything. It’s gonna start to just fly, I feel, and then I’ll have a year! Wow, it’s drawin in, and it kinda scares me. I remember imagining when I started what it would be like I’m glad to hear that everything is still progressing there. I am just looking forward to working with a gringo. I’ve been with a latino for every single day this year, except for Jan1 and 2. Crazy, no? So much Spanish, so little time. But it’s here.
Yeah, I don’t really have much that happened. We were in the house of a mamita, and in a swinging chair thing, and I busted it. Felt like a moron. AND we ate chicken heart. That was interesting. I can’t remember if we had anything funny happen or anything, but I don’t think so. Oh well. On Sunday, with that Smith, we contacted a ton, found a huge family, and I taught them all. Like, 15 people, but it was crazy. They were runnin around and stuff, and it was hard to keep them all calm enough to talk. Then we had an interview in the church, but couldn’t leave because we didn’t have the keys. We had to wait for the hermanas to come and close it, and we there for like 3 hours total. It was fun to just sit and talk. It’s the times like that that I take for granted. Work hard there, but always enjoy the free time. There’s not much. Back at home, for the minimum, like, 4 hours every day. Here, it’s like. . . well, never, haha. I have time in the morning to write and stuff, which is "technically" free time, I guess, but not much. We´re just always thinkin about something. Can’t remember what it was like just thinkin about nothin. Or having nothing to think about later. Haha, not sure if I ever will again, either, what with me havin to work and school and date when I get back home. See ya, casualidad. Is that a word?
Anyway, that’s about it. I’m gonna send some photos. We just got through watchin Toy Story 3 as a zone, and I´d never seen it. Really, really, really good. I loved it. Laughed a ton, and almost cried, too. A little trunky, but all good. Anyway. Keep up the stuff you’re doing. Remember to read the scriptures, and always have Family Home Evening. They stress that here so much, and it’s really good and important and the people have a lot of success when they do it. I love you guys, and pray for you all every night. Haha, remember when I said at Christmas only 5 months till we talk again? Haha, wow, in like 3 weeks it´ll be then. That blows my mind. It´ll really only have been 4 and a half, but still. Super loco. Haha, keep me in your thoughts and prayers, too. Have a good week. If we don’t talk next week, it’s because there are cambios. It’s a really good chance that my comp will leave, so just lettin ya know. Les amo!
Con amor,
