Sorry, but there still are no pictures. Elder Olsen promises some next week. I sure hope so!
Hey mom and everyone,
Ya this is really
getting interesting out here. This last week was the corn festival and it was
crazy. Just imagine the dirt mall in Mexico that we go to but like times 50. It
was unreal. I ended up getting everyone a little something for Christmas so it
should be good. But I didn’t take pics of it. Just remember mom I’m not in the
states. People steal a lot more often especially when they are gringos. So it
really isn’t that often that I take out my camera. But next week, send me a
list of stuff you want and I’ll get pics of it this week. I'll get you the ones
of my house, my chapel, and the internet I go to.
So one of the things
the ward does is a ward family home evening with a different member every week.
So they did it at the house of the new family that we just baptized. They live
about 20 minutes outside of Danli. So there were about 30 people that were
going and we had 3 cars, hahah, one little car, an SUV and a truck. So all the
ym &yw got in the SUV and we couldn’t go in there and another family got in
the little car so there was just the truck left and so they told us to have the
ym &w go in the bed of the truck but no one would go and we asked to kick
the kids out. We explained like 6 times that we can’t go in the bed of the
truck only in the cabin. So the lady and
her daughter that was in the car got out and got in the bed. But in all honesty I am really ready to get
out of here. The next time we have changes will be 10 days before I complete
one year in the mission so it shall be pretty interesting if I stay or not.
But anyway... umm it
was a great week. We found a family that was a reference from a member of another
ward but the only issue is that the member wants to take this family with her
to her ward, because what the old stake president told to everyone that if they
were renting that they could go to whatever ward they felt good in. So there
are people from all over the place. It’s not even where people live. It’s where
they feel like going. So it’s kind of hard to work with references because the
people always want their friends to go with them to their ward and not where
they actually live. It’s a little frustrating with that. But the family is
really positive. They are Honduran so they are obviously not married. They just
live together and call themselves husband and wife. So that will be kind of fun
trying to convince them that they need to get married, but I think we can do
it.
But we are doing
really great. Me and my comp are doing great we don’t fight. I thought if I was
with him for this amount of time something might happen but we are both relaxed
people. There are only small things that bug me about him but I just get over
them. It’s whatever most of the time. I
promise I will get you like at least 15 pics for next week I love you guys. I’m
doing the best I can to stay focused and do all I can to be the best missionary
I can be.
I love and miss you
guys with all my heart
ELDER Spencer Olsen
