January 27, 2014 - Letter to Mom


Hola!!
 
Pues este semana era genial supongo!!  No tuvimos un montón de trabajo pero me encantan todos los misioneros de mi barrio ahorra y sí!  Jugamas fútbol hoy y no tengo much tiempo para escribir pero voy a tratar a compartir todos las cosas que sucedieron este semana.  Ok so my spanish is way better speaking than it is typing.  I probably made like a million garmmar mistakes in those two sentences but it´s ok!  

How has your week been?  We were finding a lot this week and having a good time some days and a really tired time other days.  But I love this ward.  We have such cool people and there is so much potential here.  It is kind of weird that like after this transfer I have the most potential out of all the Elders to leave this area.  But we shall see!  

Mario and Eddi are doing really good!  So is Carmen!  Don´t forget our preggo lady!  She gives birth in February so that will be cool!  Mario is having some rough times at work and he might move to the states for a few months so that he can learn English and get a better job.  Eddy is good old eddy and we have been trying to work with his family.  I got his brother to give us his info so we are going to pass bye his house this week sometime!  

Ok questions...
1.  No our area is just a free for all.  All 8 of us just serve wherever we want and really don´t see ecah other much because there is so much to do here and so many people.  The bigger areas like pueblo nuevo and quintana occasionally you´ll run into each other on the big street, but it´s rare.  Nothing like poway i could imagine.  We also don´t really like ever meet together to teach, unless for some reason a member invits over more than one companionship, which happens!
2.  In the piso!!  We have a washing machine which is nice, and we jsut all take turns doing all our clothes and stuff!  The one lame thing that spain doesn´t have is dryers, but it´s ok i´m used to it by now.  Everything gets hang dryed every day, but it´s all good, i´m going to get back and that will be such a luxury!  Ohh and dishwashers too!!  Can´t wait to get one of those!!!
3.  I love my ward mission leader now that he is here! His name is Luis and he is the man!  He just got married in December so he was off on his honeymoon for like a month(because south americans LOVE their vacations!) but now that he is back he is always helping us!  He went on a  mission himself so he knows how it works pretty much!  He works a lot so he can never be in lessons, but he will always help us in any way we can.  We don´t have many ward activities because our bishop is sort of, well, he doesn´t like stuff like that too much but the ones we have had we have sang and done stuff like that. 
 
That´s good that young women´s is going well.  There are like 3 young women in our ward so the program isn´t too big, it´s funny because since we always bring Martha and Dary there are almot as many non mormon young women as there are members, and they know like just as much as the others hahah.  

I´m so tired right now!  But that isn´something new.  I was talking with Luis the leader and he asked how long I´ve been out and I said like almost 5 months and he was like ohh you don´t know tired yet! Just wait-.  Because it pretty much gets worse and worse as the mission goes on!  But oh well it´s fun!  

Spansih has been going well, things are all good with the companion and everybody.  Hm not sure what else to say!  Sorry it has been a somewhat boring week!  I love you guys!  Read 1 nephi 17 verses 3 and 13.  And we can see the blessings we recieve from keeping the commandments of God.  I especially like the promises in verse 13 about how God will light our way through the wilderness and drive us in the path we need to be.  I don´t know if it as cool in english but I like it in spanish!  It´s so weird how some scriptures are just so much more powerful in one language or the other!  Like I´ll find something super cool and I go to read it in spanish and it´s not the same!  Or vice versa.  Well i gotta go!  have a great week! Love You mom!!!
