Hey Moms,
How’s it going? Easter here was pretty good. Other
than the heat and the lack of people it was great. It’s super interesting how
they celebrate it here. They carry Jesus and the Virgin Mary through the
streets and make these big designs on the roads made out of painted saw dust.
The other thing they do is they make this special kind of bread and eat it with
fruit and homemade honey. It tasted really good, but I also and now pretty sure
I suffer from Celiacs. I was feeling pretty uncomfortable every single day, and
the only thing I was eating was bread. I literally felt like someone had hooked
up an air compressor to my intestinal system. It’s over now though so hopefully
I'll be feeling normal again soon.
We got a new comp again this week. I’m Zonie
training again. His name is Elder Melara and he is from Salvador. He has about
14 months in the mission and I am pretty sure he is my replacement. I am not
sure if I am going to have changes or not just yet. Just that the AP’s told me
I have to train him to be a Zonie.
I really like being in trio actually, it makes
teaching a little bit harder, but the conversations and everything are a lot
easier with three people then just a normal companionship. I really like being
with a Latin comp too because your always speaking Spanish. I really love
speaking Spanish, it’s such a pretty easy language and it’s really, really
grown on me.
Another thing too is that we talked with the
leaders of the mission and they are going to open San Andres Xecul now in the zone.
We went the other day and looked for houses and everything for the missionaries
that are going to be there. I’m so jealous, that would be soo cool to open an
area that has never ever had missionaries there before.
We went on Friday to go and look for the houses and
that was the biggest day of the Holy Week. It was nuts. I thought for sure we
were going to get lynched. I got some sweet photos though. Literally they take
Easter to a level I have never ever thought was possible here. It’s strange,
but at the same time, I respect it. Easter is such an insignificant and a
little bit pagan worshipy in the states I feel like.
I didn’t get any of the packages yet, I don’t know
why but hopefully next week. Anyways, that’s about all that’s new here.
I love
you guys; hope you have a great week.
Adam
