April 14, 2014 - Letter to Dad - Week 32


Hola!!!

Sorry you had a hard week being sick!!  I hate being sick!  The one time I was sick back in Madrid I was so miserable!  They made me drink nasty lemon orange drink mixes to get better and a member said that if my voice wasn´t better by the next time she was going to give me leche con ajo which sounds like the nastiest thing ever to me, but everyone says it works!  Oh by the way leche con ajo is Hot milk mixed with Garlic... bleh!   
No not too much soccer or ping pong but this week we have a tournament for ping pong and like all the youth have invited all their friends from high school, so it should be a good activity!  And we are taking the bus up to las palmas in an hour or two to play some soccer with the elders up north!  No I love the islands, I don't get island sickness or need for a mainland, just that my area is really hard.  From what I've heard it is THE hardest in the Canary Islands.  But bueno we are rocking it and working on finding people.  We did the hard stuff this week and kind of dropped all the people who really didn't want much so we have been hitting the streets talking with the people and finding.  Had some decent success and I´m hoping week 3 will be more successful.   
Yaaaa i have heard the Celtics suck, and the Padres sounds like the same old story, but the Celtics are going to have a bad first two years with the new head coach and young players I imagine, then right when I get back they will be great again!  Planned that one pretty well huh hah 
Ya Justin told me about baseball and he sounds pretty excited!  That would be pretty cool if he could go to the early recruitment up at BYU during the summer!!  But I bet he already has a pretty busy summer.   
That´s good that work has been picking up!  Are you working solo or do you have Justin or Micah every once in a while??  I kind of miss doing a little physical work every once in a while.   By the way we had a random conversation with some guy the other day about floor finish haha it´s called acobado here in españa!  Which makes sense because that pretty much means finish!  Oh and my comp said you can put floors in his house in mexico one day!  So you have a international job coming up one day perhaps haha 
That´s cool that mom is trying to get a new job?  Does it pay better or is it just that her hours are better?? That´s aweosme.   
Well hmm let me think if I have any other good stories from this week.  Nope I don't think I have anything special or different sorry.  On first contact people think I'm from the islands all my life and then I say I'm from the United States and they flip out!  And then I get to listen to their best attempt at english for a few minutes and then back to spanish haha Its a daily thing pretty much. 
Well I hope you guys have a great week!  If you have any other questions or anything that I havent answered just ask me!  Love you!

Nate
