Temperature is rising, very
few rain storms, and a lot more sun... You know what that means! CHRISTMAS!
Well, this week went pretty good. Just working hard. People have started
yelling ``uno dos uno dos`` when we go running by! (Which is the marching chant
for the soldiers.) Then we come to an abrupt halt and talk to them while
pouring out sweat and they let us teach them about the gospel. Pretty sweet.
Last Saturday we showed up
for lunch with a member, and she said she wasn`t ready yet, and that she needed
about 20 more minutes. So we went to look for a reference that we had been
given. We showed up and realized that she had already gone to church like 3
times, so we just asked her right away if she would be baptized tomorrow. She
said yes, so we got all stoked that we were going to have a baptism out of
nowhere. Turns out she had a small problem with the Word of Wisdom, so she has
to wait until the 29th, but still pretty cool experience!
I
am the district leader here, so it isn`t likely that I have changes any time
soon, so I should be here for a while- if not the rest of my mission. The last district
leader was here for 6 months. Our house
is super sweet. But still... It will be nice to be home.
You
asked what we eat for lunch/dinner. I don`t really have time to eat dinner
anymore, with all of the stuff I have to do at night, and in the morning we
have to get up at 5AM every day because I am training; so I pretty much just
eat lunch, and a few snacks during the day. They sell fresh bread on every
block here, so I eat a lot of that. For lunch we usually eat rice with some
other simple thing, and chile peppers. I’m training up that tongue to go to BWW
(Buffalo Wild Wings) when I get back. Don’t worry about my lack of a pillow. I’m
so tired all the time that I don`t even need a pillow, but maybe I`ll get one
with all the money I save on groceries. Last week I just bought 3 dollars of
instant soup (like ramen, but even cheaper). With 3 dollars I bought like 20 packages of
soup!
I
have a favor for anyone who is willing: Write my companion please! He is from Honduras and has no
email! It's very sad. L Something short, in Spanglish if you can, if not, in English. (or maybe
try Google Translate- inaccurate as it is…) darwin.lemus.franco@myldsmail.net
I’d really appreciate it. (Our email day is Tuesday, every week)
Thanks
for the updates! LOVE YOU BYE!
ADIOSSSSS,
Elder Rice
