wow that`s super awesome with the babies! congrats lyce and chip! she did send me all the goods so i´m pumped! that really is super cool! i´ve told a lot of people around here that she was pregnant with twins and stuff, and everyone says that it was cool. actually, there is a girl in the ward here that is EXACTLY like lyce, like her way of being, her mannerisms and things like that, even kinda looks the same if you squint your eyes and turn your head :) she`s super cool though so it`s good :) i actually laughed out loud when i read that the doctor put his whole arm in up to his elbow, that`s just a picture that`s funny to think about haha. but that is awesome that everything went well! not that it`s anything i`ve done, but i know the Lord takes care of His missionaries and His missionaries` families :) that`s good news with grandpa too, really it`s awesome knowing that everything is going so well with everyone!
i see elder smith every once in awhile. i didn`t really know him before the mission, like i knew who he was and i knew of him, but i don`t think i had ever talked to him. it`s fun though, with him and elder clarke being from the same city. it`s cool to chat about a few things. elder smith said not too long ago that another girl just got her call to panamà too, i don`t know her, maybe karissa does, i think her name is like something that starts with a d, then her last name falslev? something like that? i don`t know, but it`s gonna be cool having 4 kids from af again, cause like a year ago a sister named hermana fannin went home and she was from af, so we just basically own the mission! :) i don`t know if you ever talk to elder clarke`s mom, i know she`s part of like some missionaries mom website or something and has met up with a lot of the parents of the elders here, i don`t know if that`s something you`d be interested in, and maybe you already know, but just fyi :)
things are still interesting with my comp. he's just really different and i don't really know how to get along with him. honestly it's a little tough with all the younger missionaries coming in, cause honestly a lot of them are just not very mature, they come in and they're still kids. that's how i feel with my comp right now. he just doesn't know how to act in a lot of situations, and i'm trying to teach him and help him and stuff, but it doesn't seem to be working. the area is pretty big and hilly, and it's fine. i've walked so much in my mission by now that i don't really mind anymore haha. my comp has mentioned that, he really doesn't like the hills, and it's not like i enjoy them, but i don't really care anymore. i feel like i'm in pretty good shape, but i could still stand to lose a couple pounds haha. the weather is starting to get bad again. we've come back to the rainy season, so that means rain for the rest of my mission...:) i've been pretty lucky though i think, i haven't seen a lot of rain in my mission. i guess 6 months more of it won't be too bad haha.
things are a little slow right now too. we really only have one real solid investigator, although someone brought 2 relatives to church yesterday and they seem pretty positive. that's always the best. i love it when members just take their own iniciative and talk to people about the church. it seems like people are always so much more receptive when a member does something first. but the guy that we're really teaching right now is jorge. he's super cool. he's 19, lives alone with his dad, and really just loves the gospel. when we're teaching he just always says the right things and gives perfect answers and really just loves it all. he'll tell us about how his aunts and uncles or other people will tell him that they see like a difference in him now, and that he's just happier and has something about him that's different. obviously it's from accepting and living the gospel. it's so nice to have someone that just accepts everything you say and then does it. he's super pumped to get baptized, so i'm happy for that :)
that about sums it up though. it was a really quiet week. i was gonna ask you though for a few recipes. the lady that gives us lunch on sunday is always asking us what food we miss or things that we want her to cook, and i've been dying for some good cinnamon rolls haha. i'm sure it won't be the same, i mean no one can beat mom's cinnamon rolls :) but i want to see if she'll try. also muddy buddies, although i don't think chex exists around here, but i'm sure we can look. so maybe if you could share those recipes with me that would be great :) but i think that's about it. congrats again to lyce and chip, i wish them the best of luck :) and i hope everyone has an awesome week!
much love,
elder paskett
