Sounds like you have had a blast!! (We are still cleaning out the bonus room) The bonus room needed
to be cleaned out. Did you guys know that the term we use for that room
is like only in our family? No one else says bonus room! It is a storage
room for everyone else. I have no idea how we started calling it that
but yea!
Duke seems to be doing better! (Duke is learning to listen to Bill since Hunter left) He is a
good dog. There are tons of dogs here. They all just run wild in the
streets and eat garbage.
There is a new Elder
here from Ecuador and he is being trained by Elder Sarnowski. He is
white. Anyways, Elder Sarnowski told me that his companion is deathly
afraid of dogs. He always offers to pay a taxi to avoid a street with
dogs on it. He is also afraid of cows and horses. Elder Sarnowski
started to make up stories about the horses and cows and now his
companion hides behind Elder Sarnowski every time they are by one of the
three animals!
This week we went to Popayan
for a zone conference. That means 12 hours in a bus. 6 there and 6 back.
Two Elders got sick this time and Elder Castro couldn't hold it and took
a dump (I'm not sure this is proper missionary terminology, so please excuse him)in the bus bathroom and it stunk up the WHOLE bus. The problem
was that he didn't check to see if there was toilet paper. There wasn't.
The poor guy sat there for 1 hour and a half on the toilet until we stopped to buy some paper.
I
also learned something that I thought I knew differently. My companion
has told me that he has a back problem and has permission to rest every
three hours. I believed him.
At the conference
I was talking the Presidents wife. Turns out that problem doesn't
exist. I told her not to talk with him and that we would take care of
it together.
We got back to Pasto Friday
at 1 in the morning. We slept in an hour longer because we were given
permission! Then from that point on and the last three days we have not
gone back to the house or taken any kind of rest and my companion has
almost died. He goes to bed as soon as we get home.
He
asked me why we don't take breaks anymore. I told him that WE never did
and that we did it for his back. Then I told him that I am not upset
that he lied to me I just am gonna work and he has no choice now!
Since
then we have found an amazing family to teach that I love to death and
that are super ready to keep going. They only have 2 lessons but I cant
wait to teach them more! They have the cutest little baby as well!
We met a dude that is part of a Christian church that doesn't believe Christ was perfect. So that is something.
Anyways,
sounds like everything is going good over there! Please tell Grandma
Reese I am getting her letters because I got another one and she said
that no one has told her that I have gotten any! Love you all!
Con Amor,
Elder Reese
