A couple of Pday pictures...
No, I was not transferred, neither was my comp, but some of the others in our district had changes. We had a change of district leader to an Elder Apablaza from Chile and one new zone leader, Elder Norton, who only has a few months left. Our zone has quite a few new people so he's one of the only gringos around here with a hold on the language so that's funny.
Yes, the two baptisms that we had are sisters. As far Neoman, he didn't know where the church was at first so we've been helping him get there but now we're going to ask him if he can get there on his own next week.
My camera kind of works but it dropped so the lens doesn't stay on right and stuff like that...
In the way of funny things: we were walking up a hill toward a family we wanted to visit and a lady was having a little trouble carrying some boxes and we went and helped her carry them. We realized on the way up the hill that the boxes had bottles of beer in them, so that was a pretty weird thing to help with, haha When we got to the place she was taking them we gave her the Word of Wisdom pamphlet and kind of laughed at ourselves.
We contact on the streets often. One thing that works pretty well when we knock doors, we will often ask if they know where someone lives whom we need to find (like a less active) and that relaxes them a little to be more willing to talk to us.
No, I haven't gotten any packages. (we sent his Bday package and he still hasn't received it)
The adult married missionaries here, Elder and Sister Oxborrow, told us we are going to have a Thanksgiving meal at the church on Thursday! They're going to try to have Thanksgiving food although they said they can't find any turkeys or spiraled hams so that's pretty fun.
So I was pretty sick on Tuesday, in fact I threw up like 3 times and we didn't get to leave to teach at all that day. Later in the day, when I was in especially bad, my companion got me to sit up long enough to give me a blessing. I laid back down and after a little bit it kind of went away and the next day I was fine.
anyway nos vemos
His email to his father:
Wow, for Christmas everyone is going to be gone except you, mom, and Blake? We'll also be doing thanksgiving at the church. Yeah, I'm getting enough to eat. The other day at lunch the sister who gives us lunch gave me grilled chicken and with it some ketchup which I hadn't had since the MTC and it was weird how ridiculously good it seemed after not having it! I think it might have more sugar than our ketchup too or something. Also, the package had instructions for making bbq sauce on it which I may have to make sometime. That's something I miss haha. The language is coming pretty well and it's all going pretty well.
hasta luego
