Hello
Family,
I hope you
guys are doing well and everything there is going great!! I have had a
great week and have done a lot of things!! It is still hot down here and
not getting very cold I am dying down here!! The food is not scarce but I
ate the whole fish because my companion and the members were and yes it was
very crunchy but still good!! I am glad hats off went well and that
everything is now finally over!! I am sure they were great performances
and all the people did well!! It was cool to hear about Katie’s
experience she will remember that for the rest of her life!! I am glad to
see that you guys like the spiders I probably kill two or more a day now!! The
weather is getting colder and they are coming in a lot more now!! I see
the Skidmore’s on a regular basis and they are a very nice couple!! I
will just be calling next Sunday and I will try to make it before church or
after I am not really sure but either way I do it, it will be hard to catch all
of you together!! I will try to make it at about 4-5 my time which translates
to about 7-8am for you guys if that will work!!
We do quite
a bit of service down here, this week we went to a persons home to perform some
work and the service was to move a huge pile of dirt from where it was to
another place up a hill a ways. There
are 4 sister missionaries and 4 elders in our district, when we all got there
we looked at the pile of dirt and said there is no way we are going to move all
this dirt today. For some reason, I just
said let’s just do it. I ran the wheel
barrow because the sisters were not strong enough and a few of the elders were
complaining, so I just did it. Anyway we
worked really hard and finished the project and we were able to get the whole
pile moved, it was an amazing feeling to know when you put aside our own
problems and give service, we can accomplish anything.
The people
down here are hard but we are continuing to teach them and to do all we can to
bring them to the church so we will see how it will go!! It slipped my
mind when I told you about the bed situation but the doorways in our flat are
too low also and I have to duck under all of them or I hit my head on all of them!!
Today will be really fun because we are finally able to play on a full size
soccer field instead of a short little one and things!! It is kind of
funny down here because these people refer to themselves as the N word
including my companion and every time I hear it I have a hard time not laughing
at them!! It is really quite interesting down here to see all the
cultures and things that people have!! The work is still going forward and
everything is going great I will tell you a lot more things when I call this Sunday!!
Anyway I love you guys have a great week!!!
