Libia Week 2 change 2 (8/31/09)

Hey fam!

Sorry about not getting a letter out last week. It was a way complicated P-Day.

Big news from last week... emergency change. Elder Casco went to Maldonado Centro (look up Punta del Este - that's where he is) and Elder Fermàn is now with me here in Libia. I knew that staying together with Elder Casco was too good to be true... But me and Elder Ferman were in the MTC together as well, so we know each other.

That's so awesome to hear about Zach! (MOM NOTE: Zachary Diamond is going to Budapest Hungary on his mission) Way wierd though... I thought he was still like 14 years old! lol and Kimm is married? whoa...

Investigator update! Jonathan doesn't want to get married until he finds a job and a house, but doesn't really have the willpower to look for a job nor a house. So we're idling with him. Laura is a new investigator... she's a friend of Reysa Castro and went to our ward birthday party, then to church the next day. She's flying, but she got sick (i think she passed it on to me) and is in bed rest for a few days, hampering our teaching. We'll be giving her a blessing today. Manuel went to a baptism saturday up in Belloni. Didn't come to church though. We'll see what happens with him, we're thinking either miracle or death. Romina hasn't progressed at all. She has a Lucas 14 coming her way. Iris and Mabel are really hard to find, but they are learning well but don't want to wake up to come to church because Iris usually goes out dancing Saturday night. Angel (a less active member who is Mr. Webb's twin here in Guay - it is so weird! I'll send you a pic... he does the chin stroke and the faces and everything) wants his non-member wife and son to take the lessons. He promised to come to church but didn't. We'll see what happens with him. Those are the big investigators, there are others that are in idle mode.

I got a letter from Carolyn (thanks!) and it looks like Brian Graham is in the West mission (aka the other mission here in Guay that isn't as cool as my mission)! How cool is that?

Still waiting for the package... we have interviews on Friday so I should have it then. Also still waiting for a word on the pics getting up on the FTP. I looked around a little today and didn't see anything.

FYI: campo = field (like country), campamento = camp, equipo = team, partido = game (like a game of baseball), cancha = field (like baseball field). I think that's the critical vocab.

Pictures coming next week... going for the camera today!
