Hey Mom!!!!!
How´s it going??? Things are pretty good here overall. It´s a fairly sunny day even though it's freezing cold so that is good right??? Ya!!! I´m feeling terrible because I´ve been sick for a few days now but it's ok I think, I´m getting better! But this weekend was sooo bad! I felt so bad to stay home because my companion kept saying how we have had such a rough week and our numbers would be terrible if we stayed in, so I suffered out in the cold and I think got a little worse but it´s ok. I had a 103 fever the other day but now I just have a cold and a sore throat. Maybe strep but I hope not!!
Hmmm what else happened this week. Really not like a TON! We ate with Mario and he gave us this amazing dominican chicken! He keeps telling me he´ll teach me but he still hasn´t! We finished our Ham!! Like down to the bone gone!!! If we are still all here next week we are buying another one for the next transfer. At first I didn´t like it a ton, but now it´s super deliciosa!!!
I´m jealous you gotto go to the temple! Still haven´t been like this whole YEAR!!! Seems like a long time, but I guess I should be happy I have a temple in my mission! Kendal has to wait until after her misison to go again! That would be terrible!!
No I haven´t gotten any packages or mail for a while, but my friend in B7 told me there is like a whole bag full of mail and usually the bags say like barrio 2 or 3 or whichever ward of missionaries, but this bag just says Elder Poulson :) So I´m really excited to get that bag, but it´s down where the temple is and I don´t know when I´ll be there next!! Hopefuly soon!!
Sounds like you had a really busy week! We haven´t been as busy, but we are finding some pretty cool people and I hope they are going to work out! Some of the members think I´m leaving in a week so we have more food than normal this week planned :) I´m not complaining!!! It´s nice to know they like me here I guess! Plus I just have not felt like cooking or doing anything the past couple days. The meal at Mario's was the only thing I ate for 2 and a half days, and you know I like food so that´s a bit odd for me!!
I was supposed to confirm a girl who got baptized yesterday but my voice was broken so another elder did it for me! Our guy who had a baptismal date kind of dropped off the face of the earth, but hopefully we can find him today. It´s really weird how perspective changes as a missionary. Like an investigator doesn´t talk to you for like 4 days and you think they died or something, but then I think back to like life bfore the mission and I´m pretty sure there were random stretches of time when I didn´t talk to Zack for that long because we were busy or something, and then I try and be normal and say that they aren´t thinking about church stuff every minute of every day like we are. It´s really weird only having church music now. Like music before my mission that I would have hated, I wouldn´t mind listening too now! Oh and I found a cd that I LOVE! And if you could find it that would be awesome! You don´t have to send it for a while though because those packages seem kind of expensive!! But it´s an album called Joseph: A Nashville Tribute to the prophet or something like that!! It´s on my companions ipod and it´s really good!!! Just enough country in it to make me love it but like still apropriate for a mission!! If it´s cheap you should send one to Kendal too whenever you have time!! The song called american dream on there is way cool! It´s like about the first missionaries in England kind of! Ok random!!
Sorry there just isn´t a ton to share this week! I liked the picture and the talk you wrote!! They were both really good!! It kind of reminds me a litttlle bit of the spiritual thought we have used this week that I love. Really basic but good. Just like the primary song about the wise man and the foolish man. We read that story(you should too!) and like how they were so close. As in they both heard the word of Christ, and very well could have both had testimonies of what Christ taught. But the wise man ACTED on his faith and built his foundation in a strong place! And that is what we invite all to do as missionaries. Build their foundations on the rock which is Christ so when the devil comes with his whirwinds you won´t be washed away like the foolish man who chose to build his foundation upon his own knowledge, or the sand which can be changed and manipulated oh so easily. Well there is the spiritualy thought I loved this week!
Oh sad story, the Hurtado parents went to Peru for like a month and if I leave then I won't see them again for a LONGGG time! But I think I have one more transfer here!! Well I think that´s it! Hope you have a great week! I love you mom!!
