Dear Mom,
Thanks for sending me the stuff. Yes, we can cook and the
water is clean.The Peruvian in our house still boils his water even though we've been told it is ok. As far as food. eggs, a whole ton
of eggs. we have a little stove so the occasional pancakes and hamburgers but
mostly cereal and eggs. There is no Lider store within our limits but theres a
big super market called Unimart which is kind of like a Harris Teeter. I make
sure to eat a lot of fruit and drink lots of water because for lunch we eat
with members and I feel like they have no idea what water is. We ask
for water but they either come back with peach juice (very big down here) or
soda.
One of our investigators got robbed twice
this week. She is still close to being baptized.
I will be attaching emails of the
whole house and my companion. I can get a bottle of
protein powder down here but it cost like almost 80 dollars.
This week was tough, nobody wanted
to let us in the door.
We had a baptism
this week. when I say we I mean our ward. Felipe was married to his
wife (less active) and was baptized yesterday. I got to sing a special number
to welcome him into the ward. And Katherine came to the service. she really
wants to be baptized but she just has to get her own place first.
I think other than seeing somebody
feel the spirit (which is by far the number 1 coolest thing as a missionary) my
second favorite thing is just being able to lift! its like for a hour im back
in the weight room at Great Bridge Stadium.
Elder Ospina loves the dog dazzer.
he uses it to make the dogs at the house we knock shut up because everyone down
here has a dog.
Time for the funny story of the
week.
We are eating lunch with a family
and the zone leaders. Two super chill bro kinda guys. were
talking with the family and they ask me if im related to the owner of the
company "Watt's" which is a big fruit, jam, juice company down here.
Anyways the word for owner in
spanish is dueño, but the word for dream is sueño so i misheard and im just
saying to myself.. "i am the dream of the campany..?"
So the zone leaders, a guy on his
last 6 weeks and a guy who's been out over 18 months finally have pity on me
after laughing histerically while I mutter to myself. they say "Hey... it
means owner", when the realization hit me i just
turned to the hermana and in the most humble way possibly said
real slow like "No es mi familia" Now whenever i say anything
mildly dumb I am refered to as Kronk from Emperors New Groove.
Well! there ya have it! Everyone
ereading this please know that I love you and that God loves you Infinitely
more. All my best!
Elder Watts
