Thank you for the letter mother haha. Well it sounds like we are both enjoying the heat, because this week it spiked down here. We hit mid 90s again for most of the week. But it could have been worse haha.
Elder Huanambal and i are living it out down here. He has been a little sad still because we dont really have anyone to teach. We have hopes for the family of bryan, the young man that we baptized this last month. His mom and grandparents are so so, but we hope that they will find their testimony. they continue to come to church and everything, so that is what keeps our hopes alive.
I am doing fine down here. Im not sick ¡, and am still pretty lively. Its funny how our pensionista always asks elder huanambal why he is sad. and then tells him to be happy like me haha. sure the work is discouraging, but im happy that we are doing all that we can to help move things forward. But he is getting happier as the days pass.
I do have one weird story for you guys. So yesterday, a white guy came to the church and said i am mormon in english. I responded to him in spanish and then my companion told me to talk english. So i asked him what he was doing here. Turns out that he really doesnt know english or spanish, but does know German. So he told me in his broken english that he was robbed on a bus, and doesnt have money for his medications. So we got him some food and took him to the bishop. He stayed with us, until after church and from there we went and dropped him off at his house. It was funny to play the translator for everyone, and fell important haha. But we left him at his house where he has friends and a bed and all that jazz. It was just weird to speak english in the middle of the day with someone. And during the meetings, i translated the whole thing for him. Now that was hard, to listen in spanish and then speak in english. My brain was fried at the end of the day haha. But i was impressed that i did the whole meeting for him.
Well that sums it up for this week. We are praying for some miracles down here and we have faith that we will get them.
