Hey Mom,
Love you so much! Today's been pretty good except waking up at
5:00 am so I could get my laundry done with my companion. He wouldn't wake up so I had an hour of
personal study instead. That was ok because I've almost read the Book of Mormon
from start to finish in the last 4 weeks! The weather has been great for the
last couple of days and it's only rained like 5 times in the last two weeks.
The volleyball pit is actually dry! And we don't have to lose our shoes in the
mud getting there! Volleyball has by far been the most fun I have had here.
(besides cage soccer, but then, what bad idea isn't fun?) The other thing we
have been doing a lot of in the last couple of weeks is ping pong and I do say
I've gotten pretty good at it! We play king of the hill mostly because we found
out the hard way that trios just don't work! I'm not the best but what I can do
is de-throne! If someone’s been on court a little too long you can almost be
guaranteed I'm the one to get them off. I guess staging coups is one of my
new specialties... No, I'm pretty good until the worst person at ping pong comes
in to soundly beat me (Elder Nanto)! Other than that we mostly just study and
hang out at the "tienda" which literally means tent but apparently
means a small store here in Mexico. Found that out when I was reading 1st
Nephi, "and my father dwelt in a convenience store." I was very
confused to say the very least. I've been having a really good attitude as of
late, which is really helping with everything! As I told you earlier, the only
bad thing that has happened today was losing my keys and even then I figured
out how to open the door with a coat hanger. Anyways, so I can definitely say I
learned something new. Nanto had the same problem with the actual door to his
and Taylor’s room yesterday, and he tried to use his high school education to
open the door. Well in reality, I simply mean he tried jamming his laminated high
school diploma card into the door. It didn't work but it was funny as heck to
watch! Well I hope you’re having a good week and that your anniversary was a
good one! 21 years, I admire your patience! jk But seriously, congrats and
BLACKJACK! Can't wait till your 23rd when I will actually get to be there! Tell
everyone I love them and that I wish Welles, Scarlett, Oakley, and Scott the
best of luck.
Love you!
Elder
