man sounds like it was quite the week! it beat mine for sure! my comp is doing fine. he says his nose still hurts a little, and it´s gonna leave a good scar, but he´s fine. we´ve been meaning to go look for a scar cream but haven´t gotten around to it. i´ve been letting him use my vaseline stuff so hopefully that will help for now. he´s super worried about it cause he doesn´t think he´ll be as "guapo" now, he´s not really a pretty boy, but let´s just say he likes the way he looks :) haha he´s super chill, but yeah doesn´t like the idea of a scar.
i´m glad to hear the house is looking better. it´ll probably be as good as moving to a new house by the time i get home! i´ve gotten used to getting attacked by bugs though, for some reason we´ve got mosquitos bad here, and i don´t know what to do. i keep my fan on my all night, but they still find a way to bite me. i finally put some of the bug spray i have on last night and that kept em away. i´ll have to try washing my sheets and everything too just so they stop bugging me :)
i´m also glad to hear that at least someone gets to see some snow for christmas! it doesn´t feel like christmas at all down here! it hasn´t even rained for a few days so it´s just extra hot! definitely not the christmas i´m used to! people don´t really get that excited for it either, like there´s not a ton of decorations and stuff, and i´ve only seen like 2 or 3 trees. it´s weird. basically the only thing people do, it sounds like, is just make lots of food. i just know i´m gonna end up eating a ton that day. as far as a call goes, i still plan on using skype. i´m sure what´ll happen again like we did for mother´s day is just call like the saturday or day before even and set up a time. it´s gonna be harder since there will be people wanting to give us food and crap, but i´m sure we can figure something out. i would like to call in the morning so i can see all the presents and stuff, but i´ll take whatever i can get :)
so karissa still is having boy drama huh? well, i may have to add to it...:) my comp has been bugging me for awhile to have her write him, or him her, i don´t know, but he wants to talk to her haha. i´m trying to discourage it, but he says i´m already his brother-in-law haha. i´ll see if i can send a picture, but he´s a good looking guy so i don´t think she´d disapprove :)
well, as far as my week went, it was really quiet. wednesday we had the mission christmas party, and it was nothing special. there were a few speakers, singing hymns and stuff, and we watched the cartoon version of the grinch. our presents were kinda cool though. they gave us mini preach my gospels, and you know the white envelopes you get in the temple? well they gave us one of those with mola on the front. so with that, and i´m getting a plain white mola tie for the temple too, and i´m set haha. we also celebrated mother´s day, cause they celebrate it on the 8th down here, so we went to a little ward party for that, and again it was pretty average. like always i just did my little juggling act for them with the lighted balls, and they all liked it. the family we eat with on sunday said that their like half blind grandma loved it cause it was like the only one she could see. she said she liked the lights and everything, so that was cool.
i got a little frustrated this week though cause i feel like i´m stuck with my spanish. i feel like i just can´t quite express myself how i want to, and it´s tough. i thought it would help to have a latin companion finally, and it does a little, but it hasn´t exploded like i wanted. like i´m not afraid to talk, and i can usually find a way to say stuff, especially in lessons, but it´s more just normal conversation that i´m lacking. i don´t know, it´s just tough.
as far as investigators go, it´s been slow. after all the work we put into that baptism we haven´t been able to find anyone else. it´s a little frustrating. we have a few people that are super cool, but we just can´t get them to come to church. and then we can´t find new people so it´s hard. so it´s been a fairly slow week without any real cool stories, sorry!
i did have one quick question though. what are the rules on throwing away garments? or more specifically, when should you? like if it has a hole or a stain or something, or can you just wear it basically as long as you want?
but i think that about wraps it up. sorry it´s not the most exciting week. hopefully we can have some success this week! i´ll be sure to remember everyone in my prayers, since i´m sure i get remembered a lot! thanks for everything, and have a great week!
much love,
elder paskett
