Pretty tame week, I must say. Basically, nothing
happened. Why? Somebody got Dengue. That person felt really weak for a
whole week, and he and his companion stayed in the hospital from thursday night to tuesday
morning. It was nice for them to be in the air conditioning, but that
was basically the only good part. For him, he had a fever, was weak, had
a headache and his bowel movements were far from normal. For his
companion, it was awful. Elder Cannon was the one with Dengue HAHA I was
the companion. So I think that the Lord is telling me something... GO
AND USE BUGSPRAY. So from now on I am going to use it 2 to 3 times a
day. And then Mom, you cant get mad because then I will have done all
that I can. But I got plenty of reading done in my Book of Mormon. I was
in 1 Nephi 4 and then got to 2 Nephi 4! 2nd Nephi Chapter 4 is too
great, I love the emotion Nephi uses. He gets so frustrated with the
little things, he is trying to be the best he can be but there are so
many things that come up and hold him back, basically being the
instincts of the Natural man instead of someone being a follower of
Christ. I have a lot of those sort of feelings a lot. It is frustrating
but what more can we do than try to be better day by day.
That is so hard to hear about Ryan
Conley. I did not know him too well, but anyone that is worthy to be a
part of that Gates family is probably 10 times the person that I am. I
send my humble condolences to them and hope that they do alright, but I
know that they are so firm in the faith and know that they know what
there is besides this life.
Also, I am now praying for Wes. He is such a
warrior. I think about him all the time when I am out here, because he
was so amazing with the Nicaraguan people. I want to be as awesome as
he is and friends with these people as he was with those people when he
lived there for about a year.
CHARLIE MY MAN You´re in the MTC!!! AHH thats crazy.
Seeing that I am now a seasoned veteran, I invite you to email me with
any questions. haha just kidding, but I am sure he did so good with his
talk and his eagle court of honor. Good to see all the friends back
together for one last time without their stout cornerstone who is here
only looking at some nice pictures of the good looking people back from
Irvine.
So we have a branch. Our branch consists of More or
less 600 members with 35 to 40 coming to church weekly, so that is a lot
of fun. we work a lot with less actives, but we are trying our best to
do all we can to be positive and love them. Which we are.
We teach 3 to 6 lessons a day, so that probably
evens out to 20 to 25 a week. It is just so spaced out, we could
probably get more in but it takes like 30 minutes to walk to the closest
investigator.
In Santiago there are these things called Ruta´s,
which are little taxis that just go on a route in the city, They pack in
people, in their little corrollas, so there is a max of 7 and they just
go and honk and stuff and they drive crazy. They dont really have
traffic laws except stay on the road and stop at red lights. When we
need to get to Santiago we take a bus, and those also they PACK so it is
a lot of great fun in public transportation. But we walk around Villa
Gonzalez.
We eat every sunday
at a member´s house, and it is a bunch of rice mixed with beans called
MORO it is sooooo gooooooooodddd I LOVE IT I eat so much!. They also eat
fruit, they eat a lot of basically chicken. They also love spagetti!
This is the best food I have ever had besides mom´s food, but I love it.
Like I probable 2 full mounds filling the plates full at home when we
make it and when we go to a house. I love it.
Anyways, not much else. I love you all and trust that you are still the same, wonderful friends and family I have always had.
Stay lovely,
Dallin
