We've had a pretty good week this week! So here I am to tell you all
about my life here in Texas. Hopefully this week I won't say the same
things I always do, but who knows, I'm a very sporadic writer and never
know exactly what my fingers will say. But father, what did your
subject mean? I'm to the point where it only takes one, maybe two ties
for my tie! And its Travan Lyle Topham para que sepas.
Last Monday, another boring P-day, we're just farther
away from other elders, and all the sisters nearby always are super busy
doing stuff (like shopping at Ross) to go get papusas with us. So we
hung out with a member who is leaving for his mission soon. He's cool
and always comes out with us. Maybe I'll be able to get a picture of
him here.
But Tuesday was zone conference! Hooray! Those are
always fun! We learned stuff, our branch fed us (when its zone
conference, its basically the Spanish branch that meets on Tuesday).
Then afterwards I went to MoCity for exchanges and schtuff as you
probably already know. The picture I got to attatch is my bike ride
Wednesday afternoon in MoCity with some of the Blancos (Pablo and
Marleine). Its funny, because when I first got to the mission, Elder
Tate was calling this Pablo guy the ecuadorian devil, but he's changed
immensely since then, to the point he will go on a bike ride with his
kids and the missionaries to go teach. Tuesday night we went to mutual
in MoCity (because Rosemery was there too) Pablo and Rosemery are
getting married soon I think, and I saw the Flores, but I didn't get to
see the Martinez (they work sooooo much!). The bishop and wife are
supporting the Martinez, because they've had stuff happen to them that
needs good support, but all is great there! Its super funny because I
was with Elder Hales as you probs already know and all his stuff is
where mine used to be, so it felt off.
But then I came back here. This week we taught a
bunch of potentials, but we didn't get any return appointments set.
We'll work on making sure we get good return appointments in the
future. But we taught more lessons to investigators than we taught the
first three weeks here, so that was nice. I'm glad you had a good week
doing lots of stuff. Being busy is fun isn't it? Lets see what else I
did this week...
Oh yeah, yesterday we had a lot of food! We ate at a
members, went to teach Marlen at the other members, at which point they
made us eat more. Potato tamales to be exact. They were pretty good,
but I hate eating a ton of food. I'll probably gain a bit of weight in
this area just because its not conducive to bike riding.
And that is my week, sorry this e-mail is just as
airy as all my others, but hey! its not like I have time to write a
eulogy or discourse. I love you all and pray for you. Also, I'm
helping with the branch choir for branch conference coming up by playing
piano. I miss being stressed out by music, so it was fun! Just need
to be a part of a good choir now!
