As usual, I am behind in posting Luke's letters. Luke is in a tripanionship, and one of his companions is from Yelm. Note in the picture that Luke is promoting Winlock, and his companion is promoting Yelm. Way to represent Washington! - Ross
feliz ano, sorry I forgot to let you know that because
yesterday was a holiday, p-day was switched to today.
everything is still going here in El Paso Texas, it started
to rain this week, but not a lot. there was this huge puddle that disappeared
after being there for over a week, and then it rained again so the lake is
back. it has been mostly warm here, until the clouds came in and made it cold
and windy. its getting better, it usually ahs 2 or 3 days of rain or wind, and
then a week of sun, its fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun ,sun.
we have had some trouble getting ahold of one of our
investigators, brian, who is the son of a less active recent convert. he was
planning on going to church this week, but his parents didn't let him. his
whole family is baptized but him, and he wants to get baptized, his parents are
friendly to the church but just difficult. every time we set a time to go
and visit them we went and they weren't home. we will find them eventually.
this other part member family that we just started teaching
gave us their phone number but we wrote it down wrong and we called someone
else instead, and it was a person that pretty much skypes with the person you
call, because they are deaf, and they sign with them while translating to you.
that was an interesting phone call because my companion had never seen that
before either.
another fun thing that happened, was we ate some bad discati
at a members house, discati is a Mexican sausage cooked up with cut up
hotdogs. we all had a stomachaches starting 2 days after, but elder jones
for only one morning, and elder faber and I got hit hard. then elder jones and
went to dinner at a members house, and we told them I was sick so I wouldn't
eat a lot. so they made me a home-made tea that they said would help my stomach
feel better. I ate a little bit of dinner while sipping the steaming hot tea,
once it was cooled down enough, they told me to just chug half of it, I looked
at elder jones and he said go for it. so I thought why not? so I took 2 big
drinks and it didn't taste the best, but 10 seconds after I felt something and
I thought,
oh no, so I quickly got up and went to the bathroom and
started spewing what little dinner I had eaten. it didn't taste as good coming
up then going down. I did feel much better after that, except for when I blew
my nose after, food came out. now I know to be careful with Mexican women and
home-made remedies. it worked, but it wasn't fun.
I am still working a lot on my Spanish, I can usually
understand what words people use, but I still need to work on understanding the
words, its coming slowly but surely. I learn a lot from my companion, he
teaches me what to use in certain instances and what is better to use in
others. we have fun doing it too.
con amor de me,
Elder Nielson
