Hey Mom,
Yeah we are still in trio and it’s going great. Our
third wheel is actually a really good kid. He is a convert and was inactive
pretty much instantly after he was baptized, reactivated the year before his
mission and then left. So foundationally speaking he is pretty rough. My comp
and I are basically teaching him the lessons and the doctrines even though he
has about six months. He is kind
of here just to learn the ropes, either way I really like both of my comps and
we all get along really well.
As for packages, still no word. Like I said, it
takes a long time for us to get anything up here, so it could be that my
package didn't get lost and it’s just in the office waiting for me and I
haven't been able to get it yet. At the end of the month President always has
meetings here so he should be able to come up and bring some stuff. I am dying
for the conference issue of the ensign too; I still haven't been able to study
the talks or anything. The members all have them here but I haven't been able
to find anyone yet who will lend me one.
I don't know anything yet about the new mission,
they haven't told us anything. I haven't heard of any missionaries with mission
call changes yet either so not sure. I am in the zone probably the farthest
away from the new mission so I am probably not going to be shipped over there,
but of course you never know. Supposedly only one of the zones from our mission
is going to make part of the new mission, but like I said that's probably four
or five hours from where I am from.
I am feeling a lot better this week. I think the
stress and everything from changes has worn off and I have been sleeping
better. I haven't been stomach sick for a while too, which is always a
blessing.
This week our baptism got postponed. It was soooo
frustrating. He passed the baptismal interview and everything. He told me he
wanted me to baptize him and he was super excited. Then that night he talked to
his mom who lives in San Marcos and she apparently flipped out on him for
wanting to get baptized so he feels like he has to work everything out with her
first. Hopefully in a week or two.
I ate the new weirdest thing in my life this week.
Yesterday we went to visit some members to contact a referral they had for us,
and while we were there, they cooked us ants. Yeah, like not even kidding, this
lady went to her fridge and pulled out a ton of the biggest ants I have ever
seen. Puts some butter in a pan and then fries them up and gives us a plate.
Legs, pinchers, everything. Surprisingly enough though, they tasted like bacon
bits. It was strange, but tasted a lot better than the raw cow stomach.
The other thing that happened this week was that I
saw someone die. It was really really sad actually. It was pouring rain and we
were on the way out of this member’s house, and they live above this bridge.
But right when I walk out of this house I see this red truck fly across this
bridge and do a hit and run. We made our way down there to see what had
happened, and this little old man was lying there. The ambulance arrived quickly
but by the time they got there he had passed away. Apparently the car that did
the hit and run though, had been stolen and then he hit this guy, five minutes
later he hit another lady and broke her leg, and then got a flat tire and the
police caught him. It was still really sad though. Supposedly the old man was
one of our neighbors too.
That’s about all that's going on here. Hope
everything is good there, tell everyone hi for me.
I love you all.
Adam
