Hey mom,
don’t sweat! I won’t come home early!! BTW...I actually will be here 2 weeks
more than what I had previously thought! The new missionary standards in the MTC
have made a change to the time each person will be serving in the mission. I
was informed this week that I will now be serving for 20 days more than what
was originally thought.
I won’t
lie I think that is very cool but it will suck for one reason. I am almost
positive that now I will be missing 3 Halloweens and not just 2. I know you
love that holiday and so do I! I love all of the chili and homemade rolls
people always make during that time of year especially at the ward chili cook
off! But no worries, all is well and the time has been going incredibly fast!
For that reason I know these extra days that were just added on won’t even make
a difference in how the 2 years feels! Can you even believe that I only have 10
months left?!?! Well technically 11 months now that the time has been changed
but still!!!! The mission is way too fast! I have finally been able to get in
on all of the jokes and all of the people understand my Spanish and it’s
awesome!!
I won’t
lie though; I have a super white accent that I need to work on. I guess the
other missionaries say it is the whitest accent of all the missionaries but I
don’t really care :P I have a wide vocab and people understand me so that is
what is important. I will however keep working on the accent but its chill for
now. So yea I guess the main thing I can tell you is that I am staying with my
white son Elder Rogers and I am very stoked about that! He is an awesome guy
and thanks to us both being white it makes the whole Christmas spirit thing
like super real! I love him to pieces and not only him but his mom too! Haha. His
family sent a big Christmas package and sent me 2 presents inside. I don’t know
what they are yet but I’m stoked to find out!
Anyways in
other news I have been pretty sick as of late! I have been, walking around the
past couple of days with diarrhea and not only that but I’ve been throwing up a
ton too! Haha. I still however would take the diarrhea and vomiting I’ve been
having any day over the abdominal cramps that I started out with! I still
however don’t know what I have but me and the mission nurses are pretty much positive
I have a parasite. I mean I have done a
year in Honduras and I haven’t had a parasite yet so I guess now it’s my turn
to be struck with one!
Really
though all is well and I have loved my time this week! My comp and I found a good
group of new investigators this week and we are very anxious to see how they progress!
I love you
tons and I hope you’re doing okay!
