Dear Mom and everybody,
So this was a good week and the time is blazing, already half way through the change and Cook is probably heading out in 3 weeks, but life goes on. Oh and the other missionary in the hospital left after 3 days but he's fine now.
On tuesday we had divisions but the zone leaders live so far away that they just came to us and did trios with us and another companionship, but the other trio ended up in the hospital all day while we went out to our area. we started off giving service to an investigator we are digging out a pipe thats just full of dirt. and we walk around all day talking to people that the zl knew when he was here.
Wednesday was normal until we got home and made some really good fajitas
Saturday We started the day off with a great lesson and just kept on having great lessons and promises to come to church.
Sunday but they were nothing more than promises nobody showed up to sacrament meeting. We did have a great meal though, a nopal (cactus) salad, beans, and thinly slided pork. we finish food and it's 6pm so we try to find a lesson but we get rejected all day and go home in vain.
Oh I forgot we found a really cool restauraunt on the side of hill looking out to the beach. The first time we go we just get a liquida (smoothieish thing) and today I got a shrimp and octopus cocktail that was super tasty. But next week we are trying to go to a place called gringo burger because nobody here knows how to make a burger and he hope they do.
How is your apartment now that you have been living there for a couple of weeks? How come you don't have hot water? Do you not have a water heater or is there a problem? We got to see pictures from Elder Cooks program. I was able to pick him out. That's fun that you all got to do that. Are you making friends and getting help from the ward? How many are in your ward? How many youth do you have? Do you have to teach or speak at church? Do you get to see the beach or are you by the beach? You sent a picture home of a view at the top of a street looking down at the beach. Is that from your apartment? Do you go to the church to write or do you go to a cyber cafe? Is your area a cruise port? How is the weather? How is the cooking going? Sorry I havent sent you any recipes yet. I keep forgetting. I will do that. give me some ideas of what you want.
The apartment is super good, I put a hammock in there that’s really nice to lay on when it’s really hot. We just don't get hot water, our water is in a giant container that gets pulled down by gravity directly to the sink and shower, We thought about putting tubes across the roof to have the sun warm it up but that is just a thought right now. The ward is a little closed off but there are a few cool members that we can get into lessons and stuff. Well with all of the less actives we would have 200 in the Elders quorum but only about 5 elders show up in total about 40 come consistently. So far no talks or anything. We see the beach everyday we live about a half mile from it and yea that pic is from our house. We go to a cyber cafe but we are trying to get keys to write in the church. No cruise port and the weather is super hot and humid.
Yelp I love you all
