Hello family!
I cant believe its snowing there. Today is like 80 degrees so im sitting here sweating. We have been playing a ton of card games. We've been playing a game called cats paw. Its pretty fun. You guys should look it up. Speaking of which could you find some card game explainations and email me them? Thats too bad Nick cant come up for christmas, I was hoping I could see the whole family. Oh speaking of skype, We had a member say we could use her iPad/Laptop but shes going over to her moms house so we cant use her for skype. So were not sure if we will be able to skype. But we're trying! If not i'll call Mom's phone.
No idea who Elder Foster was but I'm excited for him haha. So who's the missionaries in the ward? We got the call lastnight and i'll be staying with my same area and companion to finish my training. I'm really hoping after I'm done training that I get sent downtown or to Hollywood. So pray for me. 7 weeks from now I'll found out haha. I have all my pics on a flashdrive but I forgot to bring a stamp. So I'll try and do that this afternoon. The only problem is I take pictures of a lot of weird stuff that probably needs an explaination so good luck!
I was just reading a letter from Jordan Robinson a few days ago and he said he had been out 76 days at that time. The timing was too funny. Today is my 76th day since the airport in the good ole STL.
Im finally at a library so I have a little more time to tell some stories. So heres just a bunch of random things that have happened:
While in the MTC a guy asked if we lived in one of the houses, we did. So he came over to our house to take pictures of like "day in the life of a missionary" kind of thing. But he showed up way early and non of us had showered yet and so I hurried into the shower to try and beat him but as I was walking out of the bathroom in my garments he was taking pictures of the other Elders so that was weird. But he took pictures of us clothed too so you should check out the MTC mexico city website and see if I made it.
The other Spanish Elders were walking through Watts, like on the border of our areas. They found 4 bullet shells. I want to send one home but its probably illegal and probably art of a murder. The bullets were found on 97th street. kinda by tweedy and alemeda. So look that up and see where I hangout!
While on splits the other day we went to visit a girl in prison. BUT she wasnt there yet. Some how she knew when she was getting arrested? haha kinda sketch. But it was a cool experience. First time in a prison.
While to the prison we met a homeless man named Jose. The Elder I was with is an english elder and said Jose was hard to understand. Turns out he just speaks a lot of spanish. So I could translate a little bit. Jose is an elderly man who dresses like a sailor and lives in a pile of trash with about 30 cats. A few of the cats he showed off were named Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hiliary Clinton. He actually didnt show us Bill Clinton because he was hurt. I asked what happened and he told me a story that changed my life. (kinda) Some how Bill's ear got cut. It wasn't treated obviously so it got infected. Jose decided he needed to clean it out and fix the ear up. So he cut the wound open and cleaned it out some how. It was then an even bigger wound so he needed to sanitize it. So he poured listerne on it. Along with a healthy helping of neosporine. Needing to patch the hole he glued it shut with an undisclosed type of glue. But that very day Bill Clinton's ear wound busted open again. So he told us we cant see Bill because its a bloody mess.
Walking back from the prision we walked past a guy who stopped us and pretty much asked for a Book of Mormon. So that was pretty cool. He said he used to be interested in the church but got distracted. But hes ready now. He told us "They call me Captain, not sure why though." So as were leaving and I try to say goodbye to Captain and give him a handshake he said "Nah you don't want to shake my hand I was just scratching my balls." Quality guy.
Lastly, Lastnight was the Departing Missionary Fireside. Which you can only go if you get a member/invstigator to drive you and you have an investigator coming. Which we did. But this transfer they made a rule that your investigator has to be there with you for you to walk inside. Normal you invited the investigator and if they don't show its not a big deal, you're already there so its whatever. So we got all the way there and couldn't go in. Fantastic.
That's all from me! Love you guys! Homefully I'll see you on the 25th!
