Hola!
Well I’m still pretty solid on clothes
and shoes, they are starting to get pretty worn especially my shoes, but I like
the look of worn clothes for a Missionary rather than new stuff haha. I´ve
repaired my shoes several times now, but they are still pretty solid! And in
terms of my return date it will be August 7, or August 14, also if I needed to,
I can return 3 weeks earlier (as if I went to the CCM for 6 weeks). So in terms
of school, it won´t be a problem haha. Here
in Chihuahua we have 4 time markers that we do, at 6 months you burn a
tie(super common), at 12 months you burn a shirt(common), at 18 suit
pants(rare), and at a year a suit jacket(rarer). There are some missionaries who
just cut their clothes up, but they are usually the lame missionaries who are
afraid their neighbors will beat them with a stick if they start to burn
something haha. And that´s cool that Maren and Josie will get to see Keaton in
Italy, his president must be a little more used to that kind of thing due to it
being more of a vacation spot. My president wouldn´t be so open to the idea if
that happened here to say the least hahahaha. In terms of if I need anything,
right now I´m pretty content. I´ve been
informed that it is very likely I´ve have another 11 weeks here in the
offices, That will be cool! It turns
out the mission hasn´t voted us out quite yet, like they have with the others
hahaha.
Well this week was a pretty good week of
work. On Tuesday we did 24 hour
divisions with the elders in our district.
I stayed in my area with E. Johnson, and we worked all day long, it was
great! My current companion is one of the best secretaries, but because of his
focus on his office work, we often don´t get the chance to work in the field. Well
I´m the opposite, I´m a solid secretary but I´m a much better field missionary
hahaha. So anyways these splits were super fun, Johnson and I contacted all of
the references I received from these last 2 weeks. At about 5 it started to rain
a bit, which we found it very refreshing, but it rapidly turned into a full on
lightning storm, which involved heavy raining, and hail the size of marbles. We
were booking it to our next appointment when luckily a stranger gave us a ride,
it was great! Anyways we went with a reference that rejected us the last time
we tried to go. The guy that gave us a
ride dropped us off and while we knocked he sped off. At this point in time
just staying in the rain for 10 seconds soaked you, so we were banging on the door
and E. Johnson was yelling. Finally we
heard someone from inside yell back at us “Get inside,” without hesitance we
ran in hahaha. We ended up having a super sweet lesson with this family where
we covered a bit of every point in the gospel, from the restoration to the
law of chastity. It was great!
This week I was given the responsibility
to make the shirt for the zone Chimex, so I spent about 3 hours Tuesday
collecting ideas that every missionary in the zone wanted and then did a vote
to see how the shirt should look. Afterwards
I spent the week designing the shirt. It
was no easy task to digitally draw every design that the missionaries wanted on
their shirt, but in the end I was able to accomplish it, with the help of a bit
of digital design and a lot of google images hahaha. I learned all about deleting, how to print
off a picture, how to erase water marks, and how to remove parts on a picture.
Pretty useful tools hahaha. Oh and how to make a big picture out of parts of
small pictures, really quite the useful experience hahaha.
These next few weeks should be really
cool, mainly because we are going to have a lot of baptisms! Saturday we had
one and it was amazing. O
Well that was our week here!
Con amor,
