Well this week was less than eventful but it was a good one. We had
more energy and excitement this week. Also we did a deep cleaning of
the piso and now it is beautiful.
We dropped
our phone in water. Thankfully, it´s Nokia so we just let it dry out in
some rice and it´s fine. The Elders in another city "accidentally"
dropped their phone from a 4th floor window and just happened to see the
fall and it survived the fall without a scratch. These phones are
ridiculous. There´s a reason I once found a picture of Thor with the
head of mjölnir (his hammer) replaced with a Nokia phone.
We
got a lot of rain and clouds which makes me happy but it´s confusing
because we were getting heat and sun which was nice for contacting. Also
a Real Madrid vs. Barcelona game just wiped the streets clean of people
last night so not much luck there.
We just
went to Toledo which was pretty fun. It was pouring rain, though. My
beloved breathable running shoes also breathe in water and my have been
drowning all day.
My companion is teaching me
Finnish now, a bit. One of the things he taught me was a tongue twister
that´s stuck in my head. I obviously can´t send my voice but I can write
it. It goes, "Appilan pappilan paksuposki piski pisti poskeensa
apupapin papukeiton." It´s really fun to say and means some weird
madness about a big cheeked dog eating the assistant priest´s bean soup
in a monastery in a place called Appila. Although the other vowels in
Finnish like "ä" and "ö" are just maddening. And when there are double
letters you pronounce them twice as long and for some reason it is so
hard. Also because you can´t pronounce things too long either. Uncle
Paul was a brave man.
Not much else to say.
Also I have to go change out my socks and un-raisin my feet before
proselyting. I really miss you all and love you loads!
Os quiero,
Elder Morgan
