GOOO CATS!!! [University of Arizona]
Also, Ya me voy! [I'm already leaving!] Elder Rojas is going to
stay here in Teziutlan to finish his mission (7 and a half months!!)
And I'm headed to Poza Rica, a few hours outside of the city, in a place
called Alamo. Really wasn't ready to leave but I'm excited for the heat
after freezing here, and from what I hear I'm leaving an awesome area
for an awesome area. My companion is named Elder Pedrera and he's from
Chile, but I won't meet him until tomorrow
night! I wasn't ready to say goodbye to all these people though!
There's a good chance I can return to one of the nearby zones before I
finish my mission though, so that should be pretty exciting.
I
can't get my photos to you this week because I don't really know what
happened to my cable; like, I'm going to look for it but if you could
send me another one when you get the chance, if that's even possible, I'd be super grateful. I'll try and buy one here if I can't find mine
but it's kind of weird to find things in Mexico because they just sell
everything on the street.
Good to hear
something about Jordan that isn't him being a monkey at school (that's
all Hannah tells me), I'm glad to hear it. To give you an idea of what
it's like here though, imagine that Jordan is the Young Men's President.
Welcome to my ward. Haha, it's always an adventure.
We had some missionaries going home from our area this week. So strange that this Wednesday
they're going to be with their families, getting ready for school and
work and all that. I do have a couple of Elder Rojas's photos. We put up
the bishop's Christmas tree this week because he broke his foot, so
don't worry I still got the experience!
Ignore the fact that my face is now fat! I'm sitting at 71 kilos [156 lbs.],
so at least I'm not getting fat TOO fast. I'm thinking I might just
sweat it all out in my next area anyway haha!
When
the Spanish translator was translating the conference talk about the
sacrament, she started crying, you could hear it in her voice. It's kind
of interesting in that respect because you're hearing it after someone
listened to it. Oh I spoke in church this week! Apparently I talked for
20 minutes, maybe I'm more long winded in Spanish. It's something very
strange though, that it really doesn't feel any different to give a talk
in Spanish, if anything it was a little bit more comfortable. I also
had to teach priesthood at the last minute, and the lesson was about the
role of women in the church, so that was really weird for me...
Wishing you all the Best!
Elder Wadman
