Hi All,
I neglected to send this e-mail out last week. Funny story. A call came through on my home phone with like 20 numbers on the caller ID. I showed Bryn and said look at this crazy number and didn’t answer it of course because I thought it was a soliciter. I jumped in the shower and heard the phone ring two more times. Bryn said she ignored the calls because she knew I would tell her to tell them I won’t talk to them and she hates doing that. As I was dressing Tayden called on his cell phone and said mom I just talked to Masen and he is trying to call you he lost his debit card and needs it cancelled. I WAS IGNORING MASEN’S CALLS!!! He actually did call a few minutes later and we talked for barely 2 minutes. It was so fun to hear his voice. He sounds exactly the same which was strangely surprising… I guess because he had changed so much on the inside. We cancelled the card and nothing has been taken from his account. So that was a great bonus for the week.
He talks about telling an investigator the “story about you mom” trying to help her find courage to pay tithing. I’m not sure what story he is referring to and I am very pleased to find that Masen was actually listening to my stories. We were in St. George for a dance competition for Brietyn…he refers to that. The CCM is MTC in Spanish.
Here it is…
do i think in spanish yet. . . yes and no. when im thinking to my self it depends on the day. sometimes i wake up and i find myself thinking spanglish. its funny to catch yourself like that sometimes. one time i cant remember what i was doing, but i turned to my comp and started talking to him in english. it was funny cause he was like WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND. haha but we had a good laugh with that. but the spanish is good. i can talk to almost everyone and understand almost everything. so its good. sorry about the email thing last week. i try to give you a heads up next time if i can remember, but this time i didn´t really know what was going down untill like friday before. the cool thing is that i saw one of my teachers from the ccm in the temple, then we went to the cafateria and i saw a kid from my class in the ccm. so that was tight. maybe i will see him today again because we are going to a place called larco mar. its a super rich place thats in his mission. so maybe or maybe not. we are just headed there to get out of our zone and play some fĂștbol on the beach. should be sweet.
1st place huh. dang super sick. i want to go to st. george. . . . no i dont i want to go to san diego. ya and go to the beach. ha ha. maybe when i get home brietyn will be pro and we will be going to san diego for here dance. ya that would be sick. so brietyn work hard and when i get home have a compitition that month. awesome. ha ha
the world is changing. we are supposed to be having colder weather for a month now. last week we had like 2 days where it dropped in temp. but the days after that it was super hot. not hot like bridger has, but 95ish i think. at night it drops, but i still cant sleep under a blanket. and i have a fan (big fan) in my face all night. when i got to lima it was cold enough in the mornings to wear a long sleev shirt outside. so im sure it will get there.
about the dude in the park. nothing much has happended with him. we have visited him a couple times now, but he hasent come to church because sundays he goes and visits his family like 2 hours away and plays soccer with them. but thats alright for now because he is smart i can can see him changing soon. as for the steak counsler ya dont know anything new. but he is a punk. ha ha no not really. the crappy part about it is that his wife is our biggest help here. hopefully that doesnt go away.
but i have a better story this week. so i was way scared to not have a baptism this month we have had the goal of this week for a girl named jenifer for this week 28 of april. she is kinda iffy still so i dont know if it will happen. but wednesday we went to visit this family that we thought we were going to drop. they have been listining to the missionarys for 2 years now. we have been visiting them for 3 weeks with not much new happeing. when we went we said that we were going to invite them to be baptised. if they accepted, cool. if not we were going to drop them. the mom actually started talking about baptism first and said that she was scared that she couldnt live all the laws like tithing. i told her the story of you mom and bore my testimony about it. then she said she was going to be baptised. it was super sweet. we asked her to prepare for the 12 of may. she said no. i was confused and asked why not. she said it was to far away and wanted to get baptised as fast as possible. we had an interview with jenifer already schedualed for thursday. so we just added her in and long story short she was baptised on saturday. it was super super sweet. now we just have to baptise her husband and 1 of her daughters. the other one is already a member. so that helps the month be better. im still hoping that we have another one this week.
my zone is going to the beach today to play futbol, and no i am super white still. that means i cant play futbol that good yet, but im still better than some latins. ha ha there are kids that are crazy good. FAT kids that work me because they have been playing all their life, but ya im alright for a white kid.
as for the garments and stuff that can wait a little if you dont have time or whatever. with that package though i would like my shoe conditioner that is ontop of my dresser i believe. and some kind of chocolete. ha ha. but the jeerky was supper good. i loved it. ah crap if you can i have like 4 pair of pants that can be washed and 2 get washed every week, but it takes about a week to get the laundry back, so if you can send me some pants that can be washed so i dont have to wear the same pants for like 3 days. ha ha and maybe 2 shirts. that would be super super sweet.
thanks for everything, and for the birhtday package. the tie is super sick. i loved it.
love you all.
