Que tal Familia,
I never can believe every week when I come back
to this internet cafe to write and I realize how FAST time went by. It
is super crazy. I always love hearing from you all though. The pictures
of Story's birthday are awesome. They are so professional and story is so
adorable. It is always fun to see pictures of the family.
KELSY IS ALREADY DONE WITH JUNIOR YEAR!!! wow, that really was a
crazy reality when you told me that mom. I can't believe that and how
fast time went by. The next time school starts up... I will be going to
school.
Summer starting up means the best is to come. Summer is awesome. We
are just starting the rainy season here and this past week it rained so
hard that on of the bridges was overrun and we couldn't go to one of the
parts of my area. I got home SOAKED that night. It happens a lot here.
The worst part is that during the day it is super super hot and then at
night it pours. Sounds like the weather is great right now over there. I
imagine you all have great trips planned out and all. Dad when you
wrote me saying you are going to go to Yellowstone it reminded me that
the other day I was with a member here and we were walking and I was
telling him about all the places I have been and I tried explaining to
him Yellowstone and I had no idea. There are no deer, elk, wolves, fox,
moose or even bears. So it was cool telling him all the animals up
there. I then tried to explain to him what a bison was and he had no
idea. I could just say that it was a bull with a very huge body and a
gigantic head. It was funny. Then to top it off trying to explain a
geyser was pretty sweet. A pit that shoots out water way up in the sky.
Cool stuff.
Over here we have still had sick people. I had to go this whole week
with members and it was pretty tough, but it is going a lot smoother.
The good thing about all this is that I have gotten a great relationship
with the members and they have started helping a ton. This Saturday we
planned a day to go and visit and we got all the leaders to go and visit
with us and go to our recent converts. It was awesome and I really saw
some great support. We left after visiting the families and the bishop
was saying we will do this now every weekend. I think we all felt the
spirit through showing genuine interest in the people and that they were
able to dedicate a little time.
It was a good week even though I didn't have a comp. We have a lot of
investigators and we had a new family go to church and they really
liked it. They live pretty far away, but they have good hearts.
A
great thing that happened is that in the middle of church this week I
got a call that my comp could finally leave and start working again. So
yesterday, after 3 weeks of going without a comp, I finally got a comp.
We then were able to work all day and since I had already planned to
leave with members we left with them anyways and it made the lessons
even better. We have planned out activities all throughout the week with
members already and I have a feeling it will be a great week.
I decided this past week that I am going to dedicate myself a lot
better to what I am doing in these last months. Like I did before I left
for my mission I made a bucket list, I have also made one for here. I
have goals like perfect my Spanish, finish Jesus the Christ, and eat as
many pupusas as possible. I need to get all that I can out of this
experience.
Well I love you all and hope you all are having a good time up in the
great summer weather. Also enjoy the playoffs. The bishops son here is
like my best friend. He is always giving my updates on the NBA. He told
me last night that it will be Oklahoma verses heat and hope that the
Thunder win. Durant and Westbrook are awesome. Enjoy watching those
games. I imagine they will be good ones.
Love you all and talk to you all next week.
Elder Gillette
