This week has been so much
better I cant believe that it’s actually the same place!! I can understand so
much more of what everyone says. I finally clicked that it’s the way they end
words that’s been throwing me off so much. They say a lot of ismo and ito at
the end of every word. Defiantly not what they did in Mexico, or at least the
CCM.
Haha so one funny thing is
that I get called a gringo every day here, which only means white person but I’m
not sure if its an insult or not, I don’t think so but still... in honesty,
besides missionaries, I have seen exactly 0 other white people here which is kind
of cool actually. The people here don’t have much but what they do have they
give and share with everyone. I feel so bad taking anything from them but all
they other elders just love it. I understand it’s rude to refuse these gifts
and they will be blessed because of their charity, but I still feel guilty. We
truly are so blessed to live where we do. APPRECIATE your clean water!! But I’m
loving everything about this country.
There are animals everywhere
here haha. Like I kid you not, one member has 3 pigs living IN his house. There
are dogs and cats and chickens everywhere. Cows and horses are also pretty
common. We find a couple lizards in the church building every week and some
bats. Goats are often in peoples "back yards". And honestly I love it;
it’s so funny to me that they are everywhere. In the states everyone has some
kind of pet, but you cant see them on the streets.
Gym time here is so nice, we
get up super early every day and go work out or play basketball, just
"basket" here. I have gained 15 pounds since the start of the
mission, but on the bright side its mostly muscle.
I thought I would lose a lot
of weight here but turns out that you can buy bread and cookies for like 10 or
15 cents, which doesn’t help.
Life is good and every day is
going by faster and faster.
Lo siento sobre las picturas,
I will try to fix the problem
