Hey Moms,
We had another earthquake again this week. It wasn’t
as big as the last one, but still an earthquake nonetheless. We were just
sitting in our house and studying on Friday and it just started rocking. I feel
like the Mayans are just getting a few test runs in before the real thing
happens on December 21st. Either way, nothing too major.
Nothing crazy happened
this week here either. Pretty quite. Just trying to get some people to
progress, and divorce a few others, and hopefully I can get one more baptism
before they ship me out of this area.
The rain seems to have finally stopped so
that has been really nice; it’s pretty hot during the day and mild in the night
and morning. I have really only had to break a sweater out every now and then,
but I am usually just in my short sleeve shirt. As for my comp it’s a
different story. I think he thinks he is dying. He says he has a cold but he
seems to be pretty free of all cold symptoms. He just walks around every day
with a long sleeve sweater, and a scarf. Even when it’s like 90 degrees. I
feel like he is going to die of dehydration before the cold gets him. I asked
him if he wanted to go out and go running in the morning a few days ago for exercise,
since he never does exercise, and he just looked at me and was like ¨Elder, it
makes me sad how little my physical health matters to you.¨ I was just like
oh... sorry. I guess some physical exercise would be really bad for your chubby
26-year-old body.
Also, idk if it’s big in the states, but there is a song here
that is just blowing up right now, you cannot escape it. I have no idea what
its called or what any of the words say, but everyone tells me it’s in Korean,
so maybe Alex would know of it. Was there any really popular Korean techno song
that came out like 6 months ago? All I know is I hear it like 10 times daily.
Kind of catchy though.
Other then that, nothing really new here. That’s awesome
about T´s call. We're pretty much one-year apart then. He will love Christmas
in the MTC too, that was so much fun for me. It's a given that at least one of
the 12 comes, plus its better to get one of your two Christmas’s out of the way sooner
rather then later. Washington would be a nice place to serve too. I’m way
stoked for him.
That’s good byu won again. I got your package last week
too, so I have been wearing my game day shirt with pride every night. P-day is
pretty much the same here every week. We start out with playing soccer, and
then we go eat at McDonalds’ because it’s the only restaurant in the zone and
then we come and write emails. This week we went up to the mission home real
quick too because my comp had lost his temple recommend and needed to get
another one. But other than that, that’s pretty much what we do. It’s kind
of repetitious but, still p-day, still enjoyable.
About Alex’s email.
What...the.... I don’t want to have anything to do with...any of that. Sure you
didn’t drop him on his head or anything mom? Although Chipper J would be pretty
legendary. That’s not okay... Anyways, love
you guys, have a good week.

Hey Elder,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that dog in the picture is eating or where it came from..... Glad to hear that your parents told you about Tyler's mission. He is very excited. I am glad he is going to be able to spend Christmas in the MTC and then gets to be home with us in 2 years! I have enjoyed catching up on your posts. You seem to be enjoying your mission. What has been your favorite area so far? What has been the thing that you have had to adjust to the most? Earthquakes seem to be something you deal with almost on a daily basis. You tell your mom not to worry but that is hard to do when you talk about running out into the street. lol You are such a good example for the boys in 5th Ward. Your dad, in his talk, shared a story about the temple when you went through for the first time. He gave a very good talk by the way, but I digress. He talked about the chices that he, you and Alex had made all through your lives in order to be there at that time. It made me think about my boys and the choices they have made and are making. Tyler is going to go to the Temple this week and I am so excited for him! I am proud (grateful really) of you and him for making good choices throughout your lives. Have a good week and keep smiling!
