To all my family and friends,
This week was super
good. We had a meeting with our zone on Tuesday. As a surprise,
President Morales showed up. I love that man. He is so great. He shared
some things and so did his wife. Then we got mail. The zone leaders are
always like why does Elder George always get so much mail!? I got 7
letters. Mwahahahahah. It made my day. 6 from Sara. I enjoy reading her
letters so much. I also got one from Alexa! Muchisimas Gracias! We
visited a Investigator named Raquel. In her prayer she asked God to
bless us with the strength of a Buffalo. I tried not to laugh.
I have started reading the book of Mormon in Spanish every day. 1
chapter or more. There is a promise by the prophets. If you read the
Book of Mormon in the language you are learning, you will be able to
speak the language fluently when you finish. I am taking that challenge
up. I found out that I was going on changes with Elder Liljenquist from
Parilla on Thursday. He is having trouble with his companion.
I arrived with Elder Clarkson to the house of Elder Lil and Elder
Gomez on Thursday. Things were bad. They were yelling and shouting and
throwing things. Elder Lil said they almost fought. Then Elder Gomez
went back to his room. So Elder Lil told us, yeah he blames me for
putting salt in his juice! We asked him if he did. He was like
um........ yeah. We just started laughing. Put then we switched
companions and we started working in Parilla. It was a really good day.
Elder Lil was super happy.
We had an interesting encounter with the husband of a member on
Friday. He has been inactive since he was 17 and he is like 45. But we
were teaching their family and he walked in. He was WASTED. He started
shouting in my companions ear. He wasn't trying to hurt him or anything.
He was just asking if we were his friends and we said yes. So then he
invited us to eat with him. He had some mondongo (which is cow stomach)
in soup. It is so disgusting. So we whispered to the sister, just give
us a little bit. So she did. We sat down to eat with him and he had his
huge bowl of mondongo soup and we had our little bowls. Then he was
like, why do you have so little!? Here, have some of mine! Then he
proceeded to dump his whole bowl of soup into ours. My companion just
said to eat it and do what he says so he does not get violent.So we ate
the nasty mondongo and got out of there.
Saturday we got up and right away Elder Clarkson said he was not
feeling good. So he slept in a little longer while I did my studies.
Then we went to an English Class we teach at the church. He had to leave
4 times to use the bathroom. After the class he went and passed out on
some chairs in the chapel. So I started teaching myself how to play the
piano. Then I woke him up and told him we needed to leave to get to our
lunch appointment. So we did and we got there he ate a little and he got
really [nauseous]. Not sure if that's how you spell it. Oh well. But he
could not walk home so the sister gave us a ride and I called the Bishop
who is the mission doctor, to come over. He did and turns out he has an
infection in his intestines. It could be worms. So the Bishop gave him
something to flush them all out of his system. So he took his medicine
and he went to bed. So I studied for the rest of the day. Sunday morning
he felt better and he has been feeling better each day since. So that
is good.
There is only a week until changes. Everyone thinks I am going to
leave! But tonight I celebrate 4 months in Mexico! Yay for me. Maybe I
will buy myself a pack of cookies.
Well I hope and pray that everything is good back home.
Love everyone of you!
Elder George
