first my dads questions:
Are
there any lakes, rivers, or streams in your area? yes there are a few
streams going through the town and i think 2 big rivers that surround
the town.. haha but they are all so dirty its disgusting. they smell
just RANK and in the heat you can smell the rivers and gutters from like
20 feet away. the water is a kinda dark sludge like thing that bubbles.
yes bubbles. it has a turbidity of probably an inch.
Is
it humid there? no and that is a tender mercy because this week it was
45 degrees celcius. in farenheit thats about...on fire. (MOM: 113F). me and my comp were literally dying. but no almost no
humidity. we are sweating like dogs during our lessons... we have to carry
around little towels because sweat starts drippin on our panphlets and
gets them all wet.
What fast food restaurants are popular there? haha
mcdonalds is like really expensive. like its kinda fancy.. it costs
like 20 reals for a big mac meal. haha no dollar menu here. umm Habibs
is really popular. look it up its kinda hard to explain. its like a
hand held pizza thing that pretty good. i mean its fast food so its not
gonna be excellent. they have subway (with alot better meat and cheese
and topping selection) pizza hut, yeah thats all i know about so far.
So
we did
have transfers this week and i did have to say goodbye to my trainer.
it was sort-of a blessing. haha I learned alot from Elder R
but you really need two different trainers to get the hang of whats
right, whats wrong, and what is habit of someone.
My
new compainion is Elder L. he is a amazing missionary. Just by
hearing the lessons he gives and the way he talks to people i can tell
he is a amazing missionary. pictures of him will have to wait till next
week.
we
must of knocked on like 500 doors just in 4 days. He works so hard and
were trying to get a
new group of people to teach. needless to say we have a few.. haha but
yeah I actually really like knocking doors because you never know what
youre gonna come across.. ahah well chat with people who hate mormons
and dont want to hear our message, but love the missionaries.
its
weird no matter what religion you are or wether you like mormons or
not, you like the missionaries. haha we dont do much but share messages
about christ and be nice to people so we´ll talk to people who have told
us they dont want to hear our message, but will still invite us over to
eat or to talk. haha. its awesome.
but
yeah this past sunday when i left church, it was an idaho summer kinda
day. it was sad. it was hot but not too hot, a slight breeze, people
chatting and the faint smell of gas. we were walking home. it made me
miss home. haha but thats life
oh
Btw we only have water for the next 18 days. if it doesnt rain with in
the next 18 days... no more water.. haha i have yet to pray for rain
because i want to see what Tres Rios does when we run out of water. im
not praying against everyone but then again im not praying with everyone
either... so dont pray untill 20 days from now. haha thanks jk
I
love you guys!! i need to remember to upload pictures first because they
take literally like 10 minutes to upload love you guys!!!
