Hey fam!
Elder Montgomery pointed out today that in 10 months I will be home (if you don't come down and get me). That's like two hands... weird not having to use my toes anymore. That really doesn't leave me a lot of time... and yes it has flown for me too.
Elder Cundick is getting married??? That boy is so funny! I have been talking a lot about him with Elder Painter, my ZL who met Cundick when they were in Las Piedras together. I really was blessed to be his comp... I got some really awesome companions on my mission...and the cherry on top of it all is Elder Polera. Trunky as a monkey. :P
Well we had a couple of really good lessons with the Libonatti fam and they promised they would come to church. But it rained - which apparently means church is cancelled. Our church attendance halved, and the Libonatti fam didn't come. Neither did Valentina Barroso, which means no investigators in church, no baptismal dates. But the other elders had one in church, and she has a baptismal date for the 6th of March. Huzzah!
We are also trying to figure out a new division of the two areas in the ward... the other elder's area just isn't seeing progress we were hoping for and they don't have a lot of members to help them, so the Bishop wants us to change the areas up. But he proposed a split that gives one companionship a huge area that would take an hour to walk across and the other companionship would get a couple of neighborhoods comprised of maybe 40 blocks. We have Zone Conference and Interviews on Wednesday, so I'm going to talk to the Pres a little bit about it.
Not too much else to report here, just about to head home and make some sloppy joes. :D Oh - there is a family that has given us all nicknames. There's Elder "Como" (Elder Montgomery says "como" about every other word - it is the spanish equivalent of "like", and it drives us nuts!), Elder "Turtleneck" (Polera in spanish means a turtleneck sweater) and Elder "Speak-too-much" (yours truly). :D They are a really cool couple and they always give us a bag of chocolate milk or drinkable yogurt or something when we go over. And she makes really good pizza. :D
Oh - dad - found out that the bishops brother has the same birthday as you. Day, month, year. He also served a 18-month mission, but in Uruguay. You should look him up - his daughter is pretty cute. She was there when we ate lunch with the bish yesterday.
Let's see... in my next package (or in the current one if you haven't sent it) could you toss in some measuring spoons?
Well, nothing else to say, just waiting for zone conference! Pres Da Silva is such a stud!
