How´s it going!? This week was pretty good and kinda bad,
but overall good. We had about 2 days where all the lessons fell through and no
one wanted to talk to us when we were knocking doors, so those days were a
little frustrating, but we had other days when the lessons were awesome.
Although whenever we´re trying to teach and there´s a tv on
in the house, it´s game over and I can never focus. One thing that I´ve been missing alot is music, all of it
sounds the same here and it´s getting kind of annoying. But whenever we´re
walking and I hear an American song it´s amazing! Also in the house to have my
ipod is great so thank you Clint for giving me the music.
We´ve been teaching this couple and they´ve been really
receptive, but need to get married and last night they said they wanted to! So
hopefully when December 8th roles around, it will happen!
Spanish is getting a little better, getting more confident.
I think that I´ve just become comfortable with not understanding everything
that people say because I don´t understand alot, but I´m fine with it. It´s
frustrating though when people ask a question and I didn´t understand so they
say it again but the exact same speed so I still don´t get it. I also hate the
words ´exacto´ and ´claro´ because people say that all the time to us when
we´re teaching a lesson and I just want to say ´no, it´s not claro because it
if was, you´d be reading the scriptures and coming to church´.
The weather has been good this week, nice and cloudy. Also
my companion had to go to the dentist for a filling. It took like 10 minutes.
We just walked in, sat down, and the dude started going to work. Then we´ve had
two elders go to the doctor for ingrown toenails and one of them had the entire
nail taken because it was so bad, now he can´t walk for about 7 days. I really
don´t want anything to happen to me.
The whole mail system is pretty reliable here if you send
stuff, but it costs a pantload to send stuff back so I won´t be sending things
back. I also got a haircut today for 4 mil, which is about 2 bucks....it´s
really short. Basically buzzed.
Dad to answer your questions: Living in the apartment are 3
companionships then right next door (like a foot) is another three. There are 4
other americans then the rest are from other parts of southamercia. The name of
my ward, neighborhood, area is Alpes. Feeling good about the mission, keep
thinking ´this would never happen in america!!´ but it´s great! For breakfast we just eat cereal bread and juice. Sometimes
hotdogs. Lunch we usually have with members so that´s better. We haven´t had
dinner yet so we just eat when we get back to the apartment so around 9:30.
Clothing and shoes are doing well. Typical day. wake up at 6, exercise,
eat/shower, study from 8 to 9, comp study 9 to 10, language 10 to 12, lunch
from 12 to 2, lessons from 2 to 9, planning at 9 to 9:30, then chill, shower,
write in journals, and eat some food.
