Hey Dad!!!Love the pictures you sent!! Did you have a mullet back in the day?? Awesome!! That´s crazy that it´s been 23 years! Even crazier that I'm almost at one year on the mission! Time is starting to fly here!!
Well that sounds like a scary moment on your bike you had this past week!! I don't remember where Uncle Wade lives now, but I bet that was rough!! Gotta be careful!! I still remember when I wiped out on my longboard on Zacks street going crazy fast one day, and like I had the worst road rash on my elbows and knees and I ripped up my favorite jeans... But ya from what you said you must have had some help to bring the bike to a stop without falling! That´s awesome!
It has been a pretty good week here in Telde. Kind of different with a new companion, but we are working hard and trying to make good things happen here. It´s so hot!!! Like its fairly hot here during the days, but with how much walking we do on a daily basis I'm dying right now! It´s kind of a bummer that we have to buy all of our drinking water and everything!! But that's mission life, haha Kendal has it wayy harder!!
Soo ok as a district leader I'm basically in charge of like a small group of people. In my case we hav 6. And I basically am in charge of like a 2 hour meeting once a week, teaching them and exciting them to work hard(all in spanish!!) And I have to do an exchange with every one during a six week period to like monitor progress and then count all their numbers at the end of the week! Oh and I have to give all the baptismal interviews for our area, which is probably the one that scares me the most, cuz thats a big responsibility!! And then maybe a couple more things that don't come to mind, but those are the main things... From what everyone says its the hardest of all the leadership spots, because you are just like so busy with the meetings and stuff. But it's fun, and I think I'm doing ok so far.
We found one really cool guy this week, and I hope that I can say he is progressing by the next email. We helped him carry like 50 liters of water up to his roof because he couldn't walk well, then he asked us to teach him, so of course we jumped right on that! I'm happy here... Struggling sometimes with the lack of people to teach, but gotta enjoy the good times and the hard ones as well! Miss you! Hope you guys are havinga great week, and enjoying your time with just Justin! Careful on the bike, and I hope work is going all good! Love you!!Nate
