Dear Family,
Well, I honestly feel like I just wrote yesterday and that
there really isn't much to say. We have worked like normal this week. We are
really struggling right now to find new people to teach, especially families
and priesthood. We want to help Orange Walk to grow so we need more priesthood.
It is a real challenge though because even so many of the men who are members
still have a challenge with drinking alcohol. Alcohol is honestly EVERYWHERE
here. You see kids in the street drinking. Weed is smoked on the school play
grounds. It is just sad. The men have more of a problem with. It is one of the
biggest things holding back the church from growing here. It is crazy for me to
think that before my mission I had never seen a drunk person.....now I have
seen WAY too many. I thought that El Salvador was bad but Belize is just sad!
But we are going to keep fighting against it!
So teaching the songs in primary is going okay. We have
started to sing some fun songs to get the wiggles out. But I think I am getting
too old to sing Do As I'm Doing jumping up and down. It just about kills me
every time. ha! We have now started working on Christmas songs. It just all
feels so wrong to be because everything is still green, hot, and humid. How can
it be getting close to Christmas? I love how green it is here but I miss the
seasons. We are supposedly getting to the end of the rainy season and it is
supposedly cooling off. Everything just feels hot and humid always.
This was one of the roads in my area this week. Each day that is rained it just got worse and worse! And we have to use this street every day!
Well sorry that this email is so short and lame. Hopefully
something exciting happens this next week. I love hearing from all of you. I
hope your week goes well. I love you all!!
