Trinidad Week 2 (10/05/09)


That's Elder Wally and I. Yay for Winger's sauce. We're down to about half the bottle. It won't last another five week. *cough cough*


photographer - me taking an apparently hard photo. Yes, that's my new camera. Yes, it's the same. I really like it.



fab four - Wally, Belleau, me, and Fajardo. We share the city.


besos - Elder Belleau and me. MySpace photo. :D

Hey Fam!

Sad to hear it is raining there... it is POURING here! It is pretty bad... we're all wet. We were planning on heading to Durazno for a district activity (playing soccer on the river's beach) but it got postponed. Here in T-dad it is really wet. Good thing we can stay inside today (p-day!) Haha loved the story about Emily's butt being stuck. I'm glad she's learning how to talk and stuff. Hard to miss it, but I'm sure you guys are having fun with it.

Sad to hear about the Flores family. Let me know where they end up, I'll make sure missionaries get there. But UY is awesome, they're just missing out on fast food.

Sorry to hear about mom's Risk impediment, although it does sound like a pretty involved game. Corry always wanted to get that version, I just didn't want to spend the money. LOL are you guys taking care of the games I left behind?

Well all in all the house move went well. We are finally sleeping on mattresses. We were sleeping on the floor, but we got mattresses after a couple of days, along with a new big fridge and a dresser. Still waiting on beds, whiteboards, and tables. So we do our planning in our room sitting on our mattresses, and study in the front room without tables. We would buy the stuff and get reimbursed, but they dropped our monthly pay by $60 (we are now getting about $150) and yeah. So we're stretching our money to get food and pay bills (we didn't get a phone bill for the last two months, so we have to figure that out.)

We got the baptism of Eugenia approved for this Saturday (the 10th). It's Tina's b-day present. lol (oh, sorry for not sending a birthday note to Sarah Jane! I hope she doesn't hate me...) But we are all ready to go... the bishop still needs an interview with her dad. He came to the Sunday AM session of conference just to talk with the Bishop, but the bish didn't come. So... yeah. We'll see what happens, but it is very likely that I will be baptising her (she asked that I do it if her dad can't.) She's way excited. After she had said her Joseph Smith prayer, I asked her if the church was true, and she said that it is. I asked her if she was sure... "100%" was her answer. It was a great moment and it was a spirit-filled lesson. We need to teach all the big commandments (chastity, word of wisdom, etc) this week, but she's 12 so she probably doesn't have any problems with any of that and the lessons should fly. We're all excited for her.

This week we had to go to Deo, and then we had conference, so it honestly wasn't a great week number wise. But we had a few members' friends come to the conference, so we have some good plans this week to find some new people and get more baptisms this change. Let's just hope it isn't raining tomorrow, yeah?

Ward mission leader is still frustrating us. He's doing his best, so we just kinda have to take it where it hurts. But he's a good help and we're glad we have a LDM that really wants to work. And he has to help us get lunch every week. Yay.

Well, love you all!
