hey mom!
yeah sorry we changed our pday to today! thanks for the recipes though! i`m gonna give them to the lady that gives us lunch on sunday and see if we can`t try to make em! i imagine we`ll be able to do the cinnamon rolls, but the bread down here just isn`t good. honestly i don`t think yeast exists down here, but they have some other sort of thing to help the bread rise. i don`t know if it`s the same thing, or if it`s different, but even the bread you would buy from the store just isn`t real bread. you`ll probably laugh at this, but now i understand why you guys always got after me for liking that cheap bread while you all always ate the granny bread haha, cause the bread down here is garbage! haha but even the cheap bread that i liked was better than this stuff! that`s super cool with the babies too! it`s good to know that everything has gone well! maybe it`s just me, but i`m not a big fan of just born babies, cause you can`t do anything with them! so i`ll give them 6 months and so by then they`ll be a little more mature :) and yes mother`s day is coming up, which means that yes we will be talking, and yes i will be using skype. probably this week i`ll start talking with the members and see who has a computer and stuff and who could let us use it. officially we`re not supposed to use member`s computers, but seeing as it`s sunday and using them would be free with a member, i`m gonna do it haha. plus this is officially my last call! the next time i see you and you see me will be in the airport! crazy huh?
i just saw elder clarke and we talked for a little (we changed our pday so we could go to the temple today, cause it`s closed on mondays, and elder clarke just happened to go to) it`s really a ton of fun to talk with him. we`re so set on being companions so it has to happen haha. if everything plays out right it will, cause i know i`m not going up this change, going up to zl i mean, and he says he`s gonna be with his comp for one more change, and then he`ll leave. i know i`m gonna stay here in san vicente cause my comp already has 2 1/2 changes here, and president knows all the problems that have gone on, and on thursday my comp has a meeting with the mexican embassy about his visa, cause his mission is actually there but he hasn`t gotten his visa yet, so my comp will leave this change, i`ll teach the area to the next elder, then i`ll go up with elder clarke! it may sound a little far fetched, but it could happen! haha i really hope it does though cause i really think we would work well together. i don`t really want to "sub" (prounounced "soob" haha cause "subir" is "to go up") but i do just want a comp that both wants to work and knows how. i feel like i`ve had a mission just full of people that don`t want to work. maybe it`s just me, maybe i`ve just failed the test too many times, i don`t know why, but now i just want to work and work and not worry about my comp. it`s hard even being dl and just having to deal with a few people, so i imagine that zl is gonna be even worse, and then like bishop a ton worse, but i`d rather worry about that. now i`ve gotten just the tiniest little glimpse of how dad must have felt with everything being bishop :)
this week was a little interesting. me and my comp had another little run in about obedience. nothing too exciting there. we did a lot of service this week, just like digging and moving dirt and stuff. the most exciting thing happened on thursday, well started thursday anyway. so we went to this lady`s house to chop a tree down, and so we did it and everything was fine. friday comes, and we do divisions with the zone leaders. so i come back to my area with one of the zl`s and we eat and go to visit our baptism. everything was fine, but then i started feeling really sick. i almost decided to go home, but we kept going on. we walked a bit to our next appointment, and we had to cut through some forest, but then i felt really sick and couldn`t hold it, so, i kinda had to crouch over a log and...yeah haha. then had to use some leaves to clean myself up and it was great haha. we tried going to the next cita, but she wasn`t there and i wasn`t feeling any better, so we decided to go back to the house. good thing too, cause about 5 minutes later i just barfed super bad. long story short, i ended up barfing like 5 times in a 3 hour interval, it was a lot of throw up! haha, plus with some diarrhea it was just great! saturday was bad cause we had to go do some baptisma interviews so i was walking all day but still felt like throwing up and had diarrhea but couldn`t do anything, sunday was bad too cause i just didn`t eat anything all weekend! i was super sick! we`re pretty sure it was the water they gave us at the service cause 3 others that went had the same thing. it was pretty bad. i`m like 99% right now, so i`m good, but it was an interesting weekend :)
and yeah about our investigator, everything is super good. he`s actually getting baptized tonight, so today will have been a good day, going to the temple for pday, and then a baptism at night :) he`s super ready and really wants to do it. president is excited too cause there hasn`t been a baptism here for like 5 months, so that`s good, we`re pretty pumped :)
and i think that about sums it up. it was a fairly quiet week with a few splashes of exciting here and there haha. things are good though. struggles as always, but i`m content. i`m happy that everything is always good at home. good luck with the babies. i hope you have a fun first week with them and everything goes well! have an awesome week!
much love,
elder paskett
