You were close Mom! BuenAS DiAS. :) Haha good to know you're learning Spanish! The reason for the Subject of the email is just because I was reading about my nieces...and about Zane's itch for Golf...& Judy Johnson...and all of those little things about home...it made me tear up...but please tell me all the little things about life! I'm doing good! It's flying by! The more focused you are, the more you get done, and the faster it goes! I don't necessarily want it to go quickly...but in the awkward MTC stage..it's a little more difficult not to think about it! The way you did the questions is great!
Here it goes!
How is your food?
It's good! Breakfast, juice, oatmeal & cereal (raisin bran, corn flakes, & fruit loops) and bread, lunch, sancocho (a soup which is interesting...I described it in autumn's letter I'm sending today), or most commonly, rice, chicken, & beans! Dinner, same! But it's good! The body definitely has issues with natural laxatives! haha
How many are in your room?
Just 2! My companions! Elder Finn & Elder Warren! Good Companions! We have fun! The Haitians leave next week & the D.R. Natives come! But since we're at trio...I don't think we'll have anyone come into our room! That will be kind of nice! I am on top bunk...I like it because it's more personal up there and you have a little space!
Do you have the same basic schedule each day as the MTC?
Pretty much...it's a little more laid back here...with rests on sunday and what not. But at the same time...I can't find time to study my spanish notecards!
What is the University all about?
We walk over to the University, (North-West) of here. About 10 minutes. And teach! We get pamphlets (folletos) and L.D.M.! We have placed four, committed one to church on Sunday, & talked a lot! The language is going good thanks to the Lord!
Have you met your mission President?
Nope! But he lives in a tall building RIGHT next to us!
How is your health?
Good! I'm getting a cold right now...sore throat, but I will be able to fight it off quickly I think.
Is the CCM airconditioned so you wear your suit?
Yes it is airconditioned! But no suitjackets! That's nice! Just on Sunday During meetings!
How often do you go to the Temple?
Once a week! Thursday! P-Day! I went earlier today! All in English again!
How is your Laundry doing?
It is doing great! I do laundry tomorrow! I would like dryer sheets! They don't smell like anything when they're done!
Thanks! Que mas....hmm...OH!!!! The best day this week! Monday! we went and did some Haiti
Relief! FINALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK! We transferred over a thousand bags of rice from one trailer to another! :):):):):) it reminded me SO much of home! Especially Lances farm! I was working my tail off...I worked so hard. It was such good therapy! I was taking on two jobs. We did assembly lines, and so I would be at the end stacking, & then when people would drop any along the line, I would go and pick two or 3 up. I LOVE that kind of work! And man did I sweat!!! wow! But it was incredible :)
On Tuesday I showed the Haitians pop rocks...they were FREAKING OUT. They had never seen anything like them! This gospel is true! The misssionaries need your help! Find so they can teach! I know this is the best work! Press forward! :) love you all, I'm doing good, the Savior suffered more than any of us! See you soon! Haha! :)
