I just didn't know how to start out the recording so we sang
you a song. This week was a really good
week. I'll start with Tuesday we went on
divisions and I was with Elder Richie, who has 6 months in the mission. He's really cool, we went and taught a few
lessons and helped a few people come unto Christ. We went to the family Cespedes and we ate
lunch there but we cooked. Elder Richie
and I took those seasoning packages that you guys send me in the mail of
Chinese food. We really switched it up
eating Chinese rice with kung pau chicken.
It was so good. The truth is
there is like 3 things people here eat.
Fried Chicken, gesso (which is basically spaghetti) and empanadas with
an occasional hamburger and that's about it.
There are NO Chinese restaurants and they loved it, so that was pretty
fun, could you send me some more of those please.
Thursday we stayed in the pench almost all day long, my
companion got sick. I don't know what he
has but honestly (this is kind of vulgar).
He has blown out more snot than his actual body weight. It's just a fountain that keeps flowing, ridiculous. So we had to stay in Thursday and he also had
a stomach attack. But he took like a 9
hour nap and he's good now.
Saturday we had a baptism.
Guadalupe, she asked me to baptize her so that was really cool. It was special for her and her mom because her
mom has been less active for 6 years and has decided to come back. They were both really happy so that was
really fun to see. And guess what? I have, well I had, another in grown toenail. It was Wednesday morning I woke up and my toe was red and swollen
and I knew it was coming but I didn't know what to do so I just left it. Then it finally started hurting so right
before studies in the morning I grabbed a little pair of scissors, I clipped it
vertically and I grabbed the tweezers and just yanked out the ingrown
part. And it felt so good! Oh wait it hurt so bad!! But I don't know what happened so yesterday I
limped everywhere we went but what am I supposed to do, not walk. If I don't walk I don't work, and if I don't
work then people don't get baptized, and if people don't get baptized they
don't go to the Celestial Kingdom and that's a problem. This morning I woke up and it feels pretty
good. I think my first day home I'm
going to have to go get a pedicure. The
other day I was reading the scripture and I came across a scripture that does
not apply to me whatsoever. It says
"how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publishes peace and publish salvation" that's a great
scripture and all but it just does not apply to me. I wouldn't call me feet beautiful. But that's just how life is right.
Church yesterday H & L came again and they aren't
married. It was pretty funny because we
hadn't talked about the law of chastity yet because they weren't certain about
getting baptized. We went over there and
sat down and H says "you didn't tell us we have to get married to get
baptized?" I told him it was a commandment from God and the first thing he
said is it's impossible that we are going to get married, but we had a great
lesson. They fight a little bit and
don't feel comfortable getting married.
We talked about repentance and Jesus Christ and the law of chastity. It was a great lesson, we invited them to
read the scriptures and pray together and I'm sure they are going to get
married.
Politics are huge here right now. Every billboard here is political
leaders. Stickers on every car, posters
all over. Honestly it's incredible. The voting is coming up in a few weeks. Last p-day my companion and I are walking to
the supermarket to buy our food for the week.
We were walking on the main road and I saw a car with men with suits and
I thought it was weird because the only people that wear suits here are the
Mormons. Then I realized it was the
governor of Formosa. We were walking
past and I waved and he totally ignored me, so don't vote for Gildo. Not everyone can say they've seen the
governor of Formosa.
That's about it, next week is general conference and I'm excited
for that. We have interviews with
President Franco tomorrow. A little one
on one conversation with President Franco will be good. The mission is going so good. It's just going way too fast, and way too
good. I'm so blessed, it's hard to
describe.
