The American store is close but in the city where we have
District meeting. it's like a 7 minute train ride and a 7 minute walk.
What I miss most from home is people. The food I miss from home is
everything. Yesterday, finally, after a year and a half of waiting, I
ate a piece of cake without fruit chunks. They always put fruit in cakes
and I miss American cakes. And I miss just about everything I had at
home.
I´m definitely not cold at night since my companion
puts his beloved portable heater next to his bed. Maybe my next
companion will be someone who can handle a bit of chill.
One
of our investigators scared me to death. She said, "I´ve been having
some doubts about the church. I was looking stuff up on the internet..."
And in my mind I was thinking, "Noooo!" But thankfully she had just
gone to lds.org and
Wikipedia. I´m really excited for that family. I love so many of our
investigators. They´re great but a little hesitant. In a way it´s a good
thing because the people who do get baptized here are super solid. I
love the Africans because they are so open and accepting and I can see
why things are growing in Africa. But everyone is doing really well. I
am really excited for all the investigators but maybe that´s partially
from me just being extra hopeful about them. I´m still kind of on the
fence about telling stories of investigators and still need a better
memory.
I had sort of a sick day so my companion made us
lunch which was nice and we made cookies for our investigators. Maybe we
can win their hearts through their stomachs.
On
the subject of the kitchen our lightbulb went out but it's some sci-fi
ring of power with four prongs so we have yet to find a replacement. I
go spelunking in our kitchen with the flashlight I got for Christmas.
We ate at a member's house and they were watching
Frozen behind me and apparently I remind them of Oláf the snowman a lot
so now they all call me Oláf and always say "Hola! Mi nombre es Oláf. Me
encanta los abrazos calientitos." The last sentence translates to
something like "I love warm hugs". I don´t know if I remind you of him
too. You decide.
I have a really interesting experience with our new
Muslim friend that I´ll have to explain next week because my companion
is getting grumpy about how much I´ve been writing people.
We had some boss English classes and have been perfecting how to
teach. It´s going pretty well and we have a lot more people coming. Last
time we had 7 times the amount of people we had the first time I was
here! But that´s partially because we only had one person when we got
here.
Well in the interest of peace and happiness
and whatnot I´ll end now. I´m really excited to tell about the Muslim
guy and we´re meeting with him this week too so I´ll probably have more
to tell. And pardon me if there are any missing H´s because this key
either doesn´t make an H or it does and makes about 20 more or it makes
one and comes up really, really, slowly. It´s added about another hour
to my writing time. Not really but still has made it much longer.
I´ll try to remember to bring my camera next week
and send what few pictures I have and hopefully have more time to
write!! I love you all so much and miss you guys even more!
Os quiero!
