Bueno- It's HOT, Really HOT. & What is with all the random letters, and who wrote their going to South Dakota? My skin doesn't really have a chance to stop burning. Do I have a fever? No it's just my burning flesh. Could you send me some nicer "T-Shirt" style shirts, but nicer, so I still look like a missionary. Thanks. So, we are having a blast & working hard- because there is a lot of work to be done here. Especially with the members. We pretty much are running 2 shows. Out in San Diego they do the monthly charla & it's a huge success to get people doing missionary work & for investigators to learn. So Sis. Alcantara & I decided to get them started out here. We got it approved by Pres. D and I had to type a proposal for the stake Pres. and propose it to them and they laughed in my face. It's so irritating! Members are so confused as to what missionary work is- it's not that we've been out knocking on doors all day so we're hungry! No No No. So we are proposing this idea & he laughs in my face. So I said- Well I'll get this first one up and going & you all can take over after that. So I called Pres. Pastran! He's over the charlas in SD. Well we area making it big. Pres. Pastran is going to speak- Pres. Donaldson is even coming! We are making it BIG- Hopefully the mission will just take it over. (Pres. Pastran is willing) But all of us missionaries are trying & working to pump everyone up & getting members to invite their friends. The work here will never progress if the members here don't open their eyes. The paradime has already shifted. So needless to say we have a lot of work to do.
People's spanish is even so different here- It's like I'm learning Spanish all over again.
Remind me sometime to tell you about E. Virduetta/Hna Hernandez story. Super funny
