Hey family, well here I am in Imperial, this week was alright, my
companion had an ingrown toenail fixed a couple of weeks ago so he
couldn't walk this week, so I spent most of the week in the house doing
nothing, it was kind of boring, I was able to go out a little bit with a
member I went on divisions with. There are no paved roads and it rained
the other day, all day long and the roads just turn into rivers and
nobody can do anything all day long. We went to the temple the other day
and today to go to the doctor for my comps toe. Looks like we will be
able to work this week. We were going to baptize a man this week but we
found out that he had committed a grave sin and will have to send a
letter to the first presidency so that's a bummer. The branch on Sunday
there were about 30 people that went, its very small. President Garcia
came to the branch on Sunday, that was interesting, we had an
investigator and her son come to church, it was cool cause their house
is very far and they walked all the way to the church. I fell in a hole
the other day and scraped up my leg pretty good. It was a where they
were digging a foundation and it was dark so I didn't see anything, about
4 ft deep the hole. Felt great. Took some pictures by the temple, its
just about finished!! My comp is cool, he is from Tamaulipas Mexico, he
has 15 months in the mission, its nice to be done training!! There are
no garbage trucks here, we have to burn our trash haha its almost like
were camping, its awesome! This sector is very poor, I have never been
in a sector so humble but the people are more receptive!! Anyways thanks
for everything family, hope you're doing great, have a good week!
Ya today we had to go by the temple to a doctor so my comp could get the
stitches taken out of his toe, hes from Tamaulipas Mexico, ya he speaks
a lot of English. The store where we buy groceries is about half an
hour away, we go in bus but they are short buses and they pack about 40
people in it haha the other day we were in the very back and when
someone wanted to get out I had to open the emergency exit in the back
to let them out. But the bus passes by a street by our house.
It was dark and I couldn't see anything and I forgot that they had dug a
foundation hole there, about 4 ft deep and I stepped right into it, and
my ribs hit the top, but it didn't hurt too bad. Ya I found my backpack!! No its not that bad here mom, my comp was telling me that in his first
sector somebody broke into their house in the night and robbed them haha
but this area is pretty safe, you could say. We are e-mailing from a
little Internet cafe.
Ya I brought the fleas with me but they aren't too bad, I think I've killed
almost all of them, but a guy is coming over tomorrow to fumigate the
house finally!!! I found an earwig in my clothes the other day, but it
was giant! about 5 times bigger than a normal earwig it was crazy.
