Sounds like another super eventful week that you have had!! I guess I´ve had quite an interesting week too!!! I´ll save the fun details about transfers for the end haha Just to keep you guessing! This last week with Elder Lopez was really good! I had to try extra hard to keep him focused and excited, because he was so excited to go home and see his family and everybody, but hey I can´t judge I´m sure I will be just as excited to see all yall when I´m only a week away from flying home!! We had some good lessons, and we spent any other time with members and people, which was fun. Lots of laughs and good moments, and wayyyy too much food :( I´m going to die! haha But it was fun!
Oh hey are you ready for a typical nathan story?? It hasn't happened all that much so far on my mission, so I´m really confused why it just hit me last Thursday! So we were walking through this slightly ghetto area of our area called Jinámar. And i got the biggest nose bleed! It just came out of nowhere and there was nothing we could do with no paper so I tried my best but still ended up getting blood on my face, tie and a little on my shirt... sad day :( We callled our next appointment to tell them we had to stop by our apartment real quick so I could change my shirt and wash up! Yaaa that was a bummer, seeing as before last week I had only had two bloody noses in the misison, and one of them was at night when I wasn't wearing church clothes haha I need to fix my nose when I get home or something. We´ll see... Friday was a good day. We had a branch activity like movie night and we ended up watching the Joseph Smith movie that they show in the building to the side of the Salt Lake temple. It´s my favorite church movie, so that made my day really good. Hmmm ya and then the weekend which was all about transfers and stuff and I´ll get to that!! I´ll answer all your questions now i guess!!!
1. YEEEEPPPP I´m still here in Telde haha I never really thought that I was leaving, because I knew my companion was going home, so I guessed right!!! I got called to work with an Elder named Elder Dyer!!!
2. Ya it was kind of weird. Kind of like see ya! But you're going to Mexico so maybe not!! And I couldn't really say bye since we were in a hurry and right after sacrament meeting we had to move so he could catch a flight. We only went to sacrament meeting, then they dropped me off in Vecindario to stay with them until Elder Dyer got here, then they sent Elder Lopez off to the airport with an hermana that was going home to a part of spain.
3. No we just got sick of it... Unless you REALLLY like jamon serrano, I wouldn't recomend buying one of them for two people and trying to eat a ton. Maybe my new companion will want to eat it!! haha
4. Hmm that´s actually a really good question!! I haven´t tried it on since he left. My guess is that it fits better than it did the last time, but it still is a little too tight!! We´ll see what happens this transfer. I don't think Elder Dyer likes to cook too much and he likes his frozen foods, so I´ll have to try hard to eat healthy!!
5. Elder Dyer is from Arizona! He said he is from some part of Phoenix, but I don´t remember which exactly. Phoenix Arizona ahah pretty good, I don't know how many missionaries can say that the majority of their companions aren't from utah!! I can!! haha I kind of thought I would be with Elder Dyer or his old companion Elder Hawks. They are from the same group as me like time out in the mish and everything, but I never really saw Elder Dyer all that much in the MTC. So ya it was exciting to hear that in the announcements saturday night. Then they gave me some announcements that made me a little more nervous too! haha They made me a district leader, which not sure if you know what that means, but I´m sort of the leader of a group of missionaries here in the island, and I have quite a few responsibilities now to worry about, so we´ll see how all that goes! I got a call from president yesterday to tell me that and fill me in on what I need to do in that role. I´m excited!! But I hope I can do everything! I´m not always the best teacher, but I´m gonna try!!
Yesterday was really fun after Elder Lopez left in vecindario as well. Two missionaries were leaving from the are and the other two staying, so I ended up just being at quite a few despedidos (farewells) eating way too much again but enjoying all the people down there. It was funny at night before going home we stopped by the bishop´s piso, and a family from my branch was there too! They were confused as to why I was out of my area ha Then we all shared a Mate and were there until curfew. Mate is super weird. Its like this nast herb drink that is put with hot water or milk, and a ton of sugar and when I first tried it I hated it but afer more times it has grown on me. It´s super south american, like argentina, uruguay, places like that. SO ya that was fun.. Then today got up early lots of traveling around, some studying, and just picked up Elder Dyer from the airport. We are just getting email time in at the end of our pday, or close to the end at least. Hmmm ya that was my week!!!
That´s crazy that kara is at BYU I can't believe it!! But that´s nice that she seems happy there, and better than being sad on the couch! She even wrote me after a few weeks without, so I'm guessing she is in a happier mood!! Hopefully she is off there making a ton of friends and having a blast, and getting grades good enough to stay so we can study together!!! Congrats on the job!!! That is awesome!! Is it much different from what you were doing before?? I´m sure you´ll love it!! Well I gotta get going, I love you!!! I love our family :) Have a great week!!
