July 7, 2014 - Letter to Mom


Hey Momma!!
 
It was a pretty decent week here in Telde.  Well actually it was super hard, but we had some good things happen as well.  Lots of walking around and lots of people rejecting us, but do you remember the guy I talked about last week?? He needed help getting wáter up to his roof, so we helped him out and were able to teach him??  Ya well we ended up teaching him 4 more times last week, and then he came to church and really liked it!!  Church was way good yesterday not sure why!!  Like usually one of the meetings is kind of ehh but all the teachers were amazing and the testimonies were great.  The investigator even said after that next month he wanted to share his testimony and everything!  So ya that´s cool.  We really didnt have much else going on, and I don't have any other stories I dont think :(  I´m lame... But I did have an Exchange with the zone leader, so that was fun.  We ended up going out to the ghetto and contacting, then like just contacting all over Telde the rest of the day!  Oyy I´m exhausted.  I was having like weird sleeping issues all this past week and I couldn't fall asleep until like 2am and it was all weird.  Doesn't dad have some anxiety stuff like that as well sometimes??  Not sure but it was rough and I still am recovering from like lack of sleep.  But anyways i´ll try and answer all of your questions!!!

1.  I am really not sure!  Seeing as I have never Heard a thing about it here I highly doubt it, but that would be really fun!!  I still remember being up at Provo once for pioneer day, and we went and bought Fireworks with Keith and were like blowing them all up on grandpas driveway!!  haha Good times!!
2.  It went way good!!  And then I had another one this past Wednesday like about the power and authority of our callings as missionaries, which also went amazing!!  I´m still super stressed about what I want to teach this wednesday, but I think we are going to do some sort of thing like about teaching more like chrsit, more specifically using like examples from peoples lives and likening them to principles of the góspel.  Something like that and I hope it all turns out good!!  I dont remember what I was going to say because my internet shut off and we had to go and find a different place righ now!!  But ya it was good!  I shared all about John 15 and like how we are the branches and christ is the vine!  I usually have like problems my whole life with freaking out about filling time and stuff, so I always plan a ton of good stuff and then I´m bummed because we don't ever get to it all here!!  haha It´s different with missionaries because everyone is always `participating and talking, so that definitely helps!!
3.  I´m going to head over to the store one of these days and see how the short sleeve white shirts are, but ya everything is too big on me haha But it´s what I got, so hopefully you sent me some smaller pants!!  And lame europe always just has super skinny leg pants, which definitely is hard to work out with my big legs, but I´ll try and figure out if I can buy a couple here as well!!  But hmmm I definitely have no clue what size my neck... Like the shirts I have now are 18, and they are definitely quite big in the neck, so I would guess like 17 or 17 and a half, but who knows! I´ll try and find some way to give you an exact measurement! haha everyone is asking for my sizes!  You ask for my neck to get me shirts, and Kendal wants my waist size because she said there are like super cool belts in her area for guys or something like that, so haha I guess I get clothes yay!!!

Well not sure what else to share!  I am definitely stealing the game you told me about last week for comparing things to christ, and I plan on using it in my district meeting this week, just not exactly sure how I'm going to do it yet!!  But I´ll be sure to tell you all about it!!  Kara sounds like she is doing good up at BYU.  Love you momma!!  I miss you and think it would be wayyy cool if there was some sort of 4th of july skype, but oh well gotta be patient!!  Oh btw we didnt really do much for 4th of july... I wore a red tie haha and ate hot dogs that I had in piso, and like idk talked about american stuff... not super exciting but oh well, I am only gonna have two of them outside of America!!  haha Have a great week!!  Love you mom!
