Picture of a moldy box recieved from Jeremy. and wrapped tightly by the post office in plastic.----- now onto his letter.
Phew I'm glad the boxes (meaning the boxes in the box) were good if they were crushed I would have been well hah crushed. I already felt bad that Jordans box was broken if it was broken, and moldy and borken more I would have felt super bad. I guess JD can't enjoy that one shirt that was in there. My trainer gave me that shirt, some lady in a shop gave it to him because she wanted him to buy something. But I guess that was the tipper even though he didn't want the shirt. hahahah You guys lucked out. That drink really isn't that bad. It grows on you the more you drink it. Though I've also learned really well how to swallow food with out tasting it. Here members love to feed us which I'm definatly NOT opposed to hahah I do love food ;) So the favorite sweet here, ok not favorite maybe but its super popular, is sweet beans. Or just beans with some sugar and some other random chaos. I really don't know what's in it to be honest but it just taste like beans and I'm pretty sure it has some kind of potato in it. It may be yuka haha yea i dont know whats in it. Though it is pretty good just taste like beans with some sugar on em though.
hahahah Like everyone said jess would get engaged freshman year. Called it! Tell her congrats though. oh probably shouldn't put this paragraph in the letter thing. Maybe she dont want the whole world to know she's getting engaged. Cause we know the whole world reads this thing you post every week;) Ya im still as humble as ever eh:)
I'm SO pumped for josie and orchys wedding I hear (deleted for secret keeping purposes) ... I want to talk to orchy for a second you know give him the brother talk thing hahah and ya tu sabes. haha thats going to be there cake topper? haha thats josie alright what a studette!
oh as for calling on mother's day goes... I think I'm able to call you guys sunday because its mothers day. But my companion says mothers day here is a differnet day. We might call on that day he says it's the last sunday of the month. My calendar says its the 8th... so.....
Oh so I always joke with my companions that people send people ahead of us yelling the mormons are coming, because one second the street is full the next second you're in a ghost town. I've never had so many people afraid of me. People fear us big time for some reason. Just yesterday we were going to a cita in a side ally and we stopped for a second to look at our agendas to make sure it was here and we look up and the people are all grabbing there chairs running for their houses. haha It's kinda funny to watch but, still dont know why they do it. Any way so the other day I actually saw and heard a little boy running down the street saying the mormons are coming. It'll be wierd one day in the future when gente dont run from me when they see me coming. Won't be the big dog on the street anymore.
Speaking of dogs.. we have two now that love to follow us and if other dogs come near us they get in fights. We try and loose the dogs and hide but their fast haha. Though at times the people help us make a wall of a couple people and make sure they don't pass. The dog that lives outside of our house though is a beast when it comes to fighting we walked to this one area and there were four other dogs and they started to fight and he was a beast. He just owned them all. Then right after a little walk there was five! and well yea he's a beast. Lots of barking growling and blanquito and he still comes out on top with the others walking away. Him growling and barking to end. Though luckly dogs fight all the time so the people hopefully don't asscotiate the fights with us. That's why we try and loose the dogs. If they do something stupid we'll be to blame. and that would not be productive for this work.
oh so I heard a rumor, Is passion fruit illegal state side? Because well we drink it all the time here and i heard its illegal stateside. Here it's just another fruit.
So this week here is holy week or something like that so bascially its just another reason for them all to party like crazy and drink some more hahaha. I'm serious there like another super festival every couple weeks. And they are all a week long party. This one though coinsides with easter. oh I think its passover in states. They call it semana santa here. Anyway all I've seen is everyone going to the beach and drinking. So unfortunatly they're sick and death count is going up yesterdaty a girl of 8 years old drowned. A few more a couple of days ago. I hear the sick and injured count is now 300 something. When this week began the second day or so, all the hospitals increased by 100 or so people that were sick or injured. Even one of our invesigators, were not sure where they where but, it's not our busness. Whatever happened they ended up having to get stiches in there hand. I think they said they where at a party... yea its a fun week everyones at the beach so its hard to contact and teach.
Speaking of our invesigators they're all great though we had to push all there fechas back aweek or two. Only one went to church and we had to push his back because hes having other problems and well he did not like that. He's made a big turn around when we told him he got all sad. We told him if we can teach everything we need and everything goes all well we can try and move it up to the 7th and since then we've been teaching him every day and he makes time. He made and extra effort to go to church he said he'll wear a white shirt and tie next sunday so we gave him a tie and taught him how to tie it and yea hes been making an extra effort to study and read the pamplets. The guys a stud. He's accutally one of my better buds here now. It's strange how your invesigators quickly become your friends and buds. I love my invesigators. They're awesome. Well maybe not my invesigtors, a better way to say it is the people god let's me teach. He's put some confidence in me and my companion, putting the teaching of these people into our hands. It's a big responsibility. Really big. I have to step up to the plate, be ready every day to do what He wants me to do. Crazy awesome stuff...
Roberto on the other hand is getting less serious about the lessons he's a refernce of a member but the member, no offense to him, isnt the best example and well yea. He's a bit immature still too. The other day he called us 20 times and it was just a ring and hang up... but Robertos friends are super into it everytime we go over there they all run grab there seats and try and find Roberto.
Yuleisy she's set for the 7th shes super into it. She's always taking notes and reading a bit more in the book of mormon with out us asking. She's super cool.
Oh and we found gisel. She is always asking questions and shes always super into and reads everything as well and doing all the questions in the back and well shes super smart too. Always super good questions.
Oh so I realized the other day my companion looks like Ben Cummings, just black and older. and fransico looks like whats his name... Stewart? brother of dagon bate?... yea..
Wait so were in 9th ward now right? Does that mean my plaque can now go in 9th ward with out someone bugging Bishop. I still feel bad that he got lectured by someone. Who lectured him? Oh please thank brother Walsmen again for all the ties he gave me. There were some pretty good ties.
I love you guys a Ton rember to choose the right and read your scriptures and daily prayers theres great power in daily scripture study and pray. Dont underestimate it. Especially the Scriptures and well prayer. I love yea much.
