Kristopher hit the 8 month mark today! It is going by much faster than I thought it would! Here is this week's letter:
YOU GOT A PUPPY!!!!!!!! WHAT!?!?!?!?! hahahaha it looks pretty cute! What does Dad say about it? Where did you get the name Spyke from? I do feel kinda bad and sad I am not there to have him know me and play with him but I only have to wait 1 year and 4 months!!! Happy 8 month mark! hahahaha! I saw the Picture with Tally, AND HIS RING IS GIGANTIC!!!! I want a picture of it please hahahaha! That is also awesome about his call!!! I am so excited to be able to speak Spanish with him about you guys when he gets back ;) hahahaha Sounds like the whole crew was there this week, could you give me Riley´s new address, I realized I don't have it when I went to send him a letter... hahaha!
Wow our Offensive line was bad? Usually that is one of the best parts of our team... But sounds like we are solid everywhere else. :) :( That makes me really sad about Jenny :( I hope she is o.k. :/ If you want, text Julie and tell her to give her a hug from me and to tell her that one day she will see him/her and have the opportunity to get to know him/her in the Celestial Kingdom. Which I think is one of the best parts of the Plan of Salvation that the Lord has put together :)
1. My week went so/so. Our baptism fell through because she told our District Leader that she didn't want to give up coffee, so now we are going to work that out. We had horrible attendence in our churches, 10 in the one that usually has 25ish and 7 in the one that usually has 16ish. :( On Tuesday we didnt do anything because I was really sick, My stomach KILLED underneath my left Ribs. So we are going to the doctor tomorrow to see what is wrong. I don't think anything because it hasn't hurt afterward.
2. Wahoo Birthday package!!! hahaha! I dont really need anything in specific but I am out of Peanut Butter and there isn't a place to buy any here, and if you could, send me normal peanut butter hahaha, the 25% less fat one tasted funny. I dont know what to call the type of garments I like best, They arent mesh but like a normal shirt and the big neck too. I have no idea about the sizes.
3. I was out of money because it was the end of the month and this area costs a lot because we have to go to another two areas. One for District meetings and the other is in our area so we spend 90 pesos every week to get to the places we need to be. But don't worry I do have money now :)
4. My apartment is very small and was in very bad shape, but today we cleaned it and it is a lot better. :) So don't worry too much, the only real problem we have is the Branch Presidents wife, she is a real piece of work! She is very selfish, gossipy, and a lot of other things. So we just try not to deal with her but it is kinda hard because she is the Relief Society President...hahaha
5. My companion is o.k. he has problems with getting angry and offended really fast. He is also pretty hypocritical. He always has a negative attitude after lessons and creates more problems then he fixes because he cant really take being made fun of. So that is my companion but he is good, knows a lot about the gospel and works hard :) We only see two other missionaries and only on Tuesday or if we need a baptismal interview.
6. There is a little store close buy but it doesnt have very much but enough. I AM in the middle of nowhere hahaha! It takes a good two hours to get to any bigger towns or cities. hahahaha.
7. I am way excited for Tally!!! Where does is mission actually cover? I am also way excited for him to learn Spanish. He knows a bit right now but everyone in my class that took Spanish before said that you learn more your first day than you did in your entire school career. hahahaha It is pretty cool, sounds like he is going to have to be careful about hurricanes now, and is it really cold up there where he will be? I am thinking yes but I dont really know.
8. Yes I am writing in my journal, not every day but the important parts and the parts I would want to remember.
9. Right now the weather is very rainy and stormy, last night we had a blinding light flash in our room and then went temporarily deaf!!! Lightning struck really near because it was way bright, and then the thunder shook us and we could hear a ding for about 15 minutes. It was crazy hahaha and then it rained way hard too.
So this 25th of September one of the families in our Branch is getting sealed in the Temple and we get to go with them to the temple!!! :) I am super excited and super nervous because it will all be in Spanish!!! hahahaha This will also be the first sealing I have ever seen, I never did it in the temple because I wanted the first time to be with my wife or here in the actual mission with one of our families. :) I was also wondering if, when I go, I could buy some of the stuff that they have there, one of the things I want are new scriptures. The ones I had, the binding broke (just like all the other missionaries I have known) and I have tried having it fixed three times and none have worked. So I was wondering if I could buy new ones while I am there... it would be around 50 or 60 dollars. I have heard they have a pretty good giftshop there too so I want to buy some of the things they have there, I dont know what but I will when I get there.
Sorry no pictures today but I am going to a museum thing next week so you will get some in the upcoming weeks. :? LOVE YOU GUYS AND TELL THE PUPPY HI FOR ME...
Love Buddy
P.S. Good job dad, it sounds like I should have put your goal at 3:30:00 with the way that you are training and running right now!!!
P.S.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMA JOAN!
