This week's emails were particularly hard to follow...but at least we gathered that he is doin great, enjoyed his first experience with proselyting, and is continuing to pick up spanish. all good things.
This past week has been the bombshack. espanol is comin, i feel like i dont make progress but in two weeks i can teach an entire lesson in spanish and that is more than my first day i suppose. its hard to explain ccm life in a few minutes but its a lot of fun, a lot of work too, but a lot of fun. We went proselyting, all 100 of us, as companions in one barrio. it was nuts.
There are no gun laws so everyones on edge. Shops are barred up, have to pay through bars, gas stations have armed guards..its a smaller city than jakarta with a better sewage system but some parts are still pretty poor. weather is hot, but not too bad and nights are pleasant.
oh! and we talked to members by the temple. it was so sick! speaking spanish is ezy when im relaxed. because they were members i was killing it.
d leader! yuh yuh! i basically make sure my chalk is up to snuff and conduct meetings and stuff. we've got a great group of elders and the two sisters are pretty cool as well.
Wow, this sounds dangerously like the wild, wild, West. No gun laws? What are they thinking? Sounds as if the Spanish is coming along fabulously. That is great news. I am so happy to read of Sam's prowess as a missionary. He is amazing!
