Alright,
let me specify the nerdiness I mentioned earlier. It´s not just looks. I
mean I´m surrounded by players of Magic the Gathering, League of
Legends, World of Warcraft, and so on and so forth. And I´ve seen a bit
of anime like Pokemon and a few movies but I am nothing in comparison to
some. It all makes me feel at home, but also very much not nerdy when I
compare myself.
I had possibly the most
interesting contact in my life talking to an old Buddhist Spaniard. He
tried to convince us that God is infinite (ya) but since we are able to
name him he must be finite. And we tried to talk to him about faith and
prayer and stuff. Like I always ask people if they´ve seen their heart
with their own eyes and how do they know if they have one? Everyone has
that "faith" and they say they´ve felt it inside. Didn´t work. He asked
me what my arm was and told me that the arm is made of many things and
cannot be specified and told me that my arm only exists because I can
see it and my arm only exists in my mind and reality could be some form
of dementia. He thinks too much. It remind me of the "If a tree falls in
the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?" or "There is no
spoon." from the Matrix. But ya, easily my weirdest contact ever.
On
our way to a lesson we saw a recently returned missionary, Hermana
Tabares, and she actually joined us in the lesson. Although she now
noted the difference between teaching as a missionary. And she told us
about her rough experience of being released. And she chose the most
awful movie to watch as her first movie which was some horror movie with
the cover as a bunch of skulls and the Eiffel tower upside down. We also
saw her at conference.
Conference! It was so good! I will write about it next week for the sake of time.
Random
paragraph: We live by the metro Canal. We are literally like 20 feet
from it. The street is Calle Bravo Murillo. Ya, I see the temple films in
Spanish. I saw B. A is gone forever I think. I have yet to see C and D.
Yes the Sullivans are the temple steps choir people from the MTC. Into
the Woods is becoming a movie?! Weird. England? Why are they taking a
trip to England?
Pardon my relatively brief and
short email. I have to go write a very long email to a recent convert
because lots of bad jazz just went down in her life. Pray for her if you
would. Her name is Raquel. I love you all and I gotta go!
