Hello
Well I feel bad because these last couple weeks I’ve been
really bad about writing the Letter and so I’m doing it now early so I get it
off good.
So things have been going pretty good here in the Cabaña! We
have been working really hard! Just looking for people to teach. So Daniela who
went to church last week, we passed by with her and we tried talking to her
about Baptism. But she has a lot of problems with her husband. They are
separated, and he is into drugs and alcohol and all that stuff and she just isn’t
focused on the spirit or about being baptized. She wants him to return and that
they get baptized together. And she said she kind of wants to wait like 10
years to get baptized. Haha! Crazy. So we had to drop her and to move on and
look for more people.
On Wednesday we had a zone meeting. That was cool. Here they
are talking a lot about being multidimensional. Which means like talking to all
kinds of people. And to not just end with the one people we talk to. For
example, we go to a member and ask for a referral (1st dimension) then we go to
the referral (2nd dimension) there we invite everyone in the house to listen
(3rd dimension), then we ask more referrals (4th) and then we keep asking and
looking. Haha! It’s kind of goofy but that is what they are teaching us now. But
yeah. And then we talked about making a zone shirt. They are going to make a
tee shirt for everyone. It’ll be 90 pesos. And it’ll have everyone’s names on
it and everything. Which would be kind of cool. Oh and one of the reasons why
we have to get it is because on the 23 there is going to be a stake missionary
activity. It’s going to be in the house of the stake president. I imagine it’s
big. There is going to be a swimming pool. And volleyball. And a bunch of other
games. And the missionaries are in charge of all the games. The catch is that
to be able to get in, the members have to take a nonmember. And then everyone
will get a bracelet depending on the ward they live in so the missionaries will
know where they are from and get the referral. Haha! Good idea no? And so they
first told us that we could go in normal clothes. Nice shorts or jeans and a t-shirt.
(But it can’t be like sport clothing something nice). And then they started
talking about the zone shirt and that we had to buy it. And now they are saying
that if we don’t buy the zone shirt then we will have to go in proselyting
clothes which sucks. And just gives me a reason to not buy the shirt. Haha! But
oh well. I don’t really care all that much.
After the zone meeting we did divisions. I was with a kid
from Chile. He has been in the mission for 5 months, and he is still like
really excited and all that stuff. First we went to lunch. I ate milanesa. But
it wasn’t chicken. It was eggplant. (Its very popular here) it actually wasn’t
that bad, but luckily the Hermana put spicy in it, so that helped. And then we
had to go to the apartment to put his stuff away. Now we have gotten used to
the new place. Its not that great but oh well we are there and we are going to
stay. The worst part is the trip. It takes like 30 minutes to get there. Everyday
we have to be in the bus stop like at 830 to be able to get home on time. We
waste a lot of time traveling. But oh well. When we finally got back to the
area, we went to the house of a less active kid. We thought he was the only
member in his family but we found out that his mom also is member. But she told
us that basically she only got baptized because she was going with her son. Now
she doesn’t want anything to do with the church. And while we were there a
friend came and we were there talking and he starts with all kinds of
questions. Why can’t you drink coffee and tea? If God exists, why does he let
people die? If God is all powerful, why doesn’t he just make us do good things
and avoid the bad things? How do i know that you guys aren’t lying if the other
churches can lie too? All kinds of stuff like that. And so we were there
answering the questions. And In the mission her we hear that stuff all the
times. It’s gotten pretty annoying and usually i don’t answer all the questions
in depth. Because it all leads to reading the book of Mormon and praying it’s
true. If the book of Mormon is true, then the church is true, and if the church
is true then what we teach is true. And so on. But the other missionary from
Chile got all excited and was answering all the questions and they were like kind
of fighting and all that stuff. And after he was like so happy! We killed him! Totally
destroyed him haha! I was like Yeah....! But it was fun! Now like i said that i
didn’t know that the mom was a member, well she and he son have different last
names. And we had planned to go visit her latter on. When we got there i
noticed that it was the same lady and that we had already talked to her, i
laughed. Haha!
Then on Thursday morning i decided to clean the wall because
i had kicked it and it left a mark. I got a bowl and put water and soap in it. And
i had the cell phone in my shirt pocket and when i leaned over to grab the
bowl, and the phone fell into the water. And so all day we didn’t have a phone.
We just left it in rice! Luckily it’s working now!
So funny story this week! One night we had made chorizo. I
made two and i only are one. Well here it’s really hot so we sleep with the
windows open. And i left the chorizo out on the table. Well in the morning we
woke up and the chorizo was gone. I asked my comp if he ate it and he said no.
and a bag of bread we had was all destroyed. We figured a cat got in and ate
it.
Well another night i was getting ready for bed and i hear a
bottle fall to the floor. And then i hear a couple other things fall and i hear
FUERA! Which means get out! So the cat came in again and scared my comp and he
tried to hit it! Haha! Then i went over and we turned on the lights outside and
i saw the cat just waiting there. And i saw its bright yellow eyes! Haha! Now
my comp wants to set up a trap and catch it or something! Haha!
Well there’s your letter! Haha! I have been using my comp
Camera. At the beginning of the transfer i just used my camera and then he said
that he needed to start send pictures to his family so he started taking out
his camera more and i use that. That’s why i had pictures to send! But i can’t
wait to get the camera and stuff!
If you can i want a Hackysack, but i want a Foot bag. Ill
send a picture of what i want kind of.
Licorice Red vines
If you want to send CTR jewelry, they can’t get any church
like rings, necklaces or anything like that. And then i can sell them to
members. If not its cool. Doesn’t matter
And then surprise me! I can’t think of anything else that i
am in desperate need of!
Thank you for everything! I love you and im so happy to be
here and to take advantage of the time that i have left!
