Dear
Family,
Have
fun at trek! Even though it is super wimpy and girly! That window
washing stuff sounds sweet! I’m impressed its working out so well!
The kids are going to be rollin in la mula! :)
Thanks for the info!
:) So the missionary stuff is sweet! The only thing is that my bag
broke the first week. I was able to fix it though - just annoyed at it.
And today in the morning someone walked off with my sweet laundry bag!
I’m kind of annoyed that someone would do that! I mean come on we
are all missionaries here but whatever... Hopefully it will turn up and
if not I only have one and a half weeks left.
One more P day here!
I get to email you guys later on in the week next week or maybe even Monday.
I don’t really know what’s going on. I only wear suits on Tuesdays
and Sundays. I have tied my tie spiffy and you wouldn’t believe how many
compliments I get on it! Lots of people want me to show them so I’ve
showed them how to do it a whole bunch. :) Fun stuff! Pretty much
everyone who works here is Mexican or has lived in Mexico for the last millennium.
I haven’t gotten any letters except one from grandma
Ok best thing and
worst thing I’ve eaten. This one is easy. :) WORST thing this week
was this morning actually! Imagine that! I got this plate and it
had tortilla looking stuff on it with verde sauce. I figured I would try
it. It tasted AWFUL I almost gagged after that bite. It tasted like
they dropped the tortillas on the ground and then thought hey lets wash these
off in the sink! So they put them in the dishwasher and let it soak for a
couple weeks and then remembered it this morning threw some verde sauce on it
and goat cheese and put it out for the poor missionaries to eat. I actually
don’t know what my best food I ate this week is. :) Usually I’m pretty
hungry so I just shovel everything down.
I am sick and tired of
volleyball right now. I’m playing a lot of ping pong and basketball
though!
So on Friday I was
invited to play soccer. :) It was so much fun and I scored twice.
Once was a sweet volley where someone kicked it to me and in the air I
kicked it into the goal off the goal post and the other was cool because I put
a top spin on it and it actually rolled through the goalies hands. :)
However, like 5 minutes in I got hit in the face with the soccer ball and
it broke my new plastic glasses! It broke the frame and it hit about half
an inch away from my right eye. Cut up my skin there and everything.
I bought some super glue and glued them back together this morning but I
lost some little plastic pieces so I don’t know if it will work... I’ll
let you guys know later! (I fixed it this morning)
On Saturdays we had
this awesome tie trade thing going on. :) Saturdays are the worst because
we are just holding on for Sunday and it’s hard so we decided to turn
it into tie trade Saturday. This other district in our zone who was
leaving on Monday joined in. (We were pretty good friends with all of
them. :)) and I traded a whole bunch of my ties. I kept my favorite ones
and the special ones though! Don’t worry! Just the ones I didn’t
love as much or wanted a change. Crazy thing happened that night though.
So I was wearing my pink tie that day and I would have traded it but I
figured that I was wearing it so people couldn’t really tell if it was up for
trade or something. But what happened that night is we had a substitute
teacher who is getting married sometime this week and after class he pulled me
aside and said he was looking for a pink tie that’s the perfect shade and color
and everything for his reception to match his wife’s dress and he said my tie I
was wearing is the perfect color. He then asked if we could trade on
Monday and I was all like Heck yeah! I would have given him the tie
right then and there! I took it back to the dorm and scrubbed it because
it had some marks on it and ironed it and everything then on Monday we
traded and I got a cute purple tie. Also I got a skinny
tie! I've never had a skinny tie before! I'm not sure I like it yet.
:) So yeah, that's pretty fun!
The language is coming
good I almost automatically translate what people say in English to Spanish and
I know it will come really soon. Just
lots and lots of practice!
I am so excited to
leave! It feels like I’ve been here for an eternity. Only a week
and a half left then I’ll be in the new group again! We got a new night
teacher and she is mean. No bueno. I don’t like her very much and
she doesn’t like us either but its only for a little longer! I bought a
shirt yesterday with the CMM stuff on it. I’m also getting used to those
goofy sandals I bought the other day! I don’t know if I told you but I
bought these cheap sandal things that hang on to your feet by the little piece
of plastic that goes over the top of your foot. I like them though!
I’ve never really owned any sandals before and it’s fun to have a change
from church shoes.
I really miss music.
I didn’t think it would be that bad but I pretty much think about it all
the time and try to sing songs in my head and sometimes out loud if I feel it.
It’s the same with movies
It’s overcast like
pretty much every day here. I bet every day double or nothing that it’s not
going to rain. I owe one guy 10000 pesos
and Elder Brown 4000. I’ll win sometime
though. :)
We are going to play
some soccer today and take a nap! I’m way excited! :)
I’m so glad we went
camping before I left. I was thinking
the other night and there isn’t something I would have rather done as a senior
trip thing. :) All these people here talk
about going to like Bermuda or something and Disneyland but that camping trip
was amazing. :) Just thought I would let
you know.
Anyway I’ll talk to you guys later! :) Have fun! Love ya too!
