We got to celebrate two investigator birthdays in a row!
So it was a happy week. And I make snickerdoodles for one which were a
hit. Although the process was a bit interesting in a smaller house with
not much equipment to bake. Even though I know things I make here could
be much better, these people haven´t tried it so I can get away with
what I can do here. :) For all they know I´m a master chef. :) I
heard about the games and people showed us clips from the World Cup.
Turns out that Germany won against Argentina 1-0 in overtime. And
Germany absolutely destroyed Brasil 7-1 last week. The news showed
people burning buses and rioting after the loss. Dang. Well it turns out
the World Cup wasn´t during my year mark but it was happening during my
year-left mark. Speaking of which, I got the package for my year mark! I
was happily surprised. I didn´t think I would get a package. I loved it
all and I actually still have the funfetti pancake mix so that´ll be
the "birthday" cake for me and my companion. We get to celebrate
together! So my companion is Elder Weeks from South Jordan Utah. He was
in the MTC with me. Although I didn´t see him much since we were 102
people at the end. He´s a good hardworker and enjoys contacting. There´s
not anything like being Persian or surfer to relate so that´s why I
just put nice because he is. I finally met a Paraguayan (I think that´s
the word in English?)! I´ve been waiting to meet one my whole mission
but I never have until Saturday. He and his friend came to play soccer
when we were there so they played with us. I finally got to mention that
my brother was there and a couple of his areas but there wasn´t time
for much else because we were playing soccer. We were passing by some
old contacts from the former missionaries and I found a couple
interesting ones. One was apparently on the fifth floor and it turned
out that the address was a one floor house. The other one was impossible
to find that day because the road to get there didn´t seem to exist
anymore. The part of the wall where it should open up just was just a 20
foot wide diiferent style wall. I was excited to go to my companion and
say "There´s a wall there. Trust me." I hope you all know what that´s
from.* So in the glorious tradition of having a ridiculous amount of
holidays for random things, this is apparently the week of concerts so
last night we were serenaded with a violin-cello-bass-guitar band which
was actually pretty cool. While listening to it I actually dropped my
flip-flop on the optometrist´s sign below on the first floor. So I bent a
wire hanger and tied it to our very long clothes line and I got to play
flip flop fishing before going to bed which is interesting at that
height with a lot of wind. And I went on two exchanges (weird english
missionary words!) this week with Elder Brewer from Segovia and one of
our beloved zone leaders from Madrid named Elder Iñiguez. And being near
the end of the transfer the number of inside jokes increases daily, but
they would take too long to explain. Anyways, this is plenty long. See
you later! I love you all!
