1. How are your living arrangements? Do you have a kitchen & fridge and all that stuff?
So the living arrangements... They are not the best, we dont have a kitchen, we have a faucet that barely puts out any water. We have to mattresses (dont know how to spell that) but not any frames or anything. We have a fridge but can't really use it because we don't have anything else to use to eat. We can't shower in the mornings in our house because our faucet doesn't put out enough water, so every morning we leave the house around 7 so that we can go to the church and shower and eat and study. It is kinda really annoying and there are no other houses here either. I think we should just move back into the church but we shouldn't. hahaha It is very frustrating.
2. Your companion said in his email home that the Mission Pres. bought you some mattresses. Are you sleeping better?
I am sleeping a lot better. But still have the problems like I said in #1.
3. Do you know Elder P_______ that went to Alta? K___H___ knows him. Also, do you know an Elder P___? Kate knows him. I know Elder P______ and I dont know Elder P___. Elder P is awesome, we have been in the same zone in Mina for 6 months and then we are back in the same zone. He is cool and a really good missionary. We played basketball today with the zone and there are some kids that played 3A and 4A basketball and he comes out and makes a team and says that we are going to prove the Alta cuts are better than the 3A and 4A starters hahahaha it was soo funny!
4. Is there someone in your area that has a computer or a good telephone for your Christmas phone call? We are counting down the days!!!!! That is all Kenna wants for Christmas this year is to talk to you. I would love it if you could Skype!
The christmas call is going to be interesting. There is only one Sisters house that we could do it from and they leave a lot. So I dont know how we are going to be able to do it. Yes, that would be cool if we could Skype!
5. Have you eaten anything else interesting? A lot of missionaries are eating Iguana in Mexico. Have you?
I havent eaten Iguana yet but we are planning on eating more fish, an Iguana, and maybe turtle.... I am really not excited at all for that last one :/ hahaha But it will be a cool story and picture so I am going to do it... hahaha
6. How is the work going? Your companion said that the church leadership in your branch doesn't always show up so he has to take charge and do everything. How does that all work?
The church here is crazy! The president that was over our branch just got called to be the President over the branch where he lives. So now we dont really have a President because the 1st councilor that we have doesnt really come and doesnt do what he is supposed to. So for the last couple of weeks, yes we have had to get there after going and getting the investigators and hurry and set everything up getting everything ready and teach the lessons. It is crazy! The work is good though, we are planning on baptizing 4 people this Saturday so I will let you know how that goes hahaha But right now it is looking very good :)
7. How many people are in your Branch? Do you know it's official name? You don't meet in an LDS building do you?
The branch is called El Triunfo. We are renting a building it has a plack outside that says The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on it. So we dont have a chapel but that is the goal before both of us leave this area.
8. As always, what was then best and worst part of your week?
The best part is that all the kids passed their baptismal interviews and the worst part is definitely the house and branch situations. Oh, and not getting my packages..... again.
9. Have you written that hand written letter you owe me yet? You are much more detailed when you hand write. Kim will say things and I won't know what she is talking about.
I have not written it yet, Oh and will you tell Kenna and Kim and Dad Happy birthday for me on their birthday. I havent been able to send their cards because I havent been able to find a mail place to do it :( Tell them sorry but they will get their just really late :/ Tell Kim that I am also behind 5 letters because I havent been able to send any... There isnt one where I live and there isnt time to go and send them where there is one because we have to get back to the bus before it leaves or else we have to wait another hour and a half.
10. Is there anything you need me to send you?
I think I am good, and even if I desperetaly need it, I wont get it for another 4 months... hahahahaha
Well this week has kinda been slow nothing too big going on just the normal teaching and stuff. We are planning on going to the place called Agua Azul and las Cascadas next transfer and it sounds really cool. So I am going to send Tally´s letter to you and it is all ready. Love you guys, good luck with all the house repairing and everything else. GO JESSICA Wahoo starting varsity this year ;)
Love, Bud
