Did you all watch the conference yesterday?! I sure hope so because it was AWESOME! And we as missionaries need all the help that we can get from the members. We will never take the gospel to all the world if we as missionaries have to do it all. Times are changing and Heavenly Father is hastening the work....by engaging the help of everyone, not just more full time missionaries! What a cool time! We are kind of in a limbo right now because in a few days we will officially be a new mission with a new mission president. Tomorrow is our last multizone meeting with President Cordon. It will be interesting to see what changes come and how we will mix with the missionaries from the other mission. Today we went to Santa Ana for the last time and had lunch with President Cordon and his family. Kind of strange to think that I will never go to Santa Ana again. I honestly am not too attached to the Cordons because my area is so far away so I am not super sad about having someone new. Interesting, interesting.
Happy Birthday Affie! Six years old and wiser too! I turned six months old on the mission on the exact same day that she turned six years old. ha! I now only have a year left. Weird.
I am struggling to have much to say lately, sorry. But Holly asked me a few random questions so I will answer them for you. I sleep on a mattress on the floor. I eat a ton, I mean a TON, of beans! Mostly the people here eat red beans but they are good so it doesnt bug me much. Eggs, rice, and tortillas are very common as well. Every now and then we buy these tortas, or sandwiches from this inactive member on the street. They are super good and guess what, they too have bean on them. ha! I love the fried platanos the best with a little bit of cream. Also I eat a lot of soups, like vegatable soups. Sometimes they have meat in them but I dont really like eating meat down here. Soups is where they put things like chicken feet. I have luckily avoided that so far. But after watching how they sell meat down here, with flies all over it, and watching all the chickens in the street eating the garbage....needless to say, meat is not my favorite things down here. There are tons and tons of mangos and they eat them with chili and alguashte (the inner part of pumpkin seeds). It is interesting but I prefer the fruit alone.
I hope all is well. I hear that you are enjoying part of the heat that I get to bask in every day :) I keep praying for the rain to go to you guys but I dont think that it is working. ha! Love you all!
