Hey Dad!!
Things are going pretty good out here!! Sooo first things first I think I have to correct Apple on this one. Though it may say 70 to 80 degrees, I have to say it has been in the 100´s every day for this past week! I am living in a big oven, I swear! And my piso has no AC, so pretty much its just windows open 24/7 and like I'm so tempted to sleep on the balcony!
It´s kind of cool we have a balcony with a view from our fourth floor, and its not much but I really like sitting out there at night after we finish up work for the day!! Ya it´s kind of weird not seeing the beach all the time, but more than anything I was bummed to leave the people of telde!! Like that's how its been in all my time in the areas! I'm totally down with switching from place to place and being in new areas and stuff, but the problem is I start making friends with all the members and I don't want to leave! Just so you know there are several people in the islands that said whenever we end up traveling out there, we have places to stay and food to eat so all we have to pay for is the plane tickets!! We should take advantage of that one day when I get back! hah I´ll definitely try and get pics out to you guys!! I dont know if I can today cuz I am super pressed for time, but I´ll try!
What happened was this morning early we left for a pueblo called Cruce de Lucillo, and played soccer with the local kids and a couple members like all morning, and then ate at the house of a member from peru! It was all great and I had an amazing time, buttt we ended up not having a bus to take us back for a while, so here I am trying to say as much as I can before it is time to go out to work!! It´s a really busy area! There is a lot of work to be done, and I'm happy to be here! It´s pretty fun being with a portuguese guy here! Not gonna lie sometimes it tries my patience with the language barrier and like trying to explain everything because he is new in the mission, but it´s working out and I'm sure as I get more comfortable with the area things will run smoother! He has like an ok grasp on spanish and english, so normally we can get our thoughts across in one of the three languages! Portuguese is kind of similar to spanish, but at the same time there is a LOT of things you have to learn so that you can speak both. I think it actually must be really hard to learn spanish because of the similarities, but haha its fun!! I guess they sort of couldn't find my bag in the mission home, but they say they know it's there so I think I'll end up getting it in like 3 weeks or so! Kinda lame but oh well! I honestly don't remember what is inside of it besides my temple clothes and my other suit, which I'm sure is way big on me now!! ha sooo I gotta go soon, but I hope you have a great week!
I have been reading a LOT of conference talks this week, and I really love them! I ended up snagging all the conference talks from 2006 and I think I have read every single one of them pretty much! Just from reading them, I really like the apostle Wirthlin... Bummer I never really payed attention while he was still alive! Anyways love you dad. I hope you have a great week and that work picks up!! HASTA LUEGO!!!Nathan
