Alright so all is well here in Samanes, Palmira, Colombia! We had an INCREDIBLE worldwide training this week all the missionaries, its was SWEET!!! Danggg, its made me feel like a new missionary though haha it showed me soooo much stuff i can do better!! K alright ill talk more about that in a sec, but heres to answer your questios mom:
I usually eat scrambled eggs for breakfast and if i have time i make some cool juice with the amazing fruit here, my favorite is guayaba, lulo, and mango... i just cut up the fruit and blend it with water and a bit of sugar... ahhhh its WAY GOOD!! I stay away from the milk haha funny you ask, the milks pretty weird here in my opinion... i havent dranken straight milk in a long time... they sell it in bags, weird, and they dont refrigerate it, its got so many chemicals mixed with it here that it doesnt go bad... so they say... i only use it with cereal once in a while or with mango juice... yes they put ice in their drinks here, it lasts for about 2 miutes and then its gone cuz its sooo hot here, no we arent in as much of a drought as we were a few months ago, our house has had plenty of water, but yes the mission president has been telling us to keep buckets of water full in our houses in case they start cutting the water, but dont worry haha its all good. How many miles do we walk each day? ha, good question, ive been wanting to know the same thing, i have no idea, id guess like 5... i remember the time when we went to new york and walked from central park to time square and back to the hotel.... we easily walk that distance every day haha!! This might be my last area yes, its possible, but honestly i hope it isnt haha id like to get to know one last area, in the south hopefully haha cuz ive spent my whole mission up here in the north, but im fine with whatever, where ever The Lord needs me, im ok with finihing the mission here too. I speak english with the other gringos in the zone an a little bit with my comp (his english is actaully really good, i need to speak more with him) and thats it haha, very little. Ya im not teaching english classes right now but i want to get some started up here, publicating it is the tricky part, and im not sure where id teach them here cuz the chapel is kinda far, but well see. No theres nothing specific i plan on buying here and taking home, just a few small things like t shirts and otehr little decorations... the members in this branch, WOW, have really surprised me!! In my other areas thereve always been a few who work well with the missionaries and give us references, but here there are LOTS!! So we still find lots on our own ya but we try to make our priority finding with them, teaching their references... An yes my health is actually really good!! I had a fungus grow on my leg haha i guesss i forgot to talk about that, but nah they gave me some medicine for it a few weeks ago and its pretty much gone away, im all good!!!
Dang sorry so im out of time now haha, but ya so as i said we had an INCREDIBLE training this week, and as weve tried to put in practice what we learned wevehad a ton of spiritual experiences!! Ill try to talk more about them next week, but i hope you know all is good here, i couldnt be happier and love hearing that you guys are good as well every week!!
Siento tanto honor al saber que tengo la comañìa constante del Espìritu al trabajar aquì en la misiòn. Es una de las cosas que màs aprendì en la capacitaciòn esta semana. Obviamente el Espìritu es el que enseña todo, pero su habilidad de hacer que el mensaje entre en el corazòn de las personas depende tambièn de nuestras aptitudes como maestros del egangelio, asì que, me esfuerzo cada dìa por enseñar con màs claridad y màs testimonio, y veo que estoy comprendiendo mejor el evangelio al hacerlo. Sè que Jesucristo es nuestro salvador, y lo comparto en Su nombre, amen.
les amo
nos vemos
