So this week was much better than last! I’m starting to
understand more and more of Spanish and so I can communicate much more
effectively!! What a blessing!!
So I’ve got a request to talk about the food here! So it’s
delicious, always! Some of the popular meals are: Milanesa, which is like
bread-crusted fried meats basically, ñoquis, which are like a potato pasta
thing, Pizza, it’s really good pizza, the stuff they use is really good
quality. They love putting hard-boiled eggs on everything! Pizza, in rice, in
potatoes, everything! But I’m ok with that! They also have Asado which is like
BBQ, but that’s more of a summer thing so I will have that later. The only bad
thing about all this delicious food is that they use a lot of oil and they get
offended if you don’t eat a lot. So it will be a miracle if I don’t get fat. It’s
a problem. Who knew that would be a problem.
The weather! So normally the weather here is really dry, but
as I said, it was really wet when I got here. It has dried out and we haven’t
had rain this week. So instead of being muddy I’m just dusty. Better, but I
still don’t like it. Right now its winter down here so it’s pretty chilly
almost all day. No snow or anything, just brisk all the time. Jackets are
needed. I was talking with some of the people in my district (which is the
best, by the way!) but I guess during the summer, it’s like always in the
90s-100s. I am actually going to perish here. It’ll be a struggle. And no one
has AC. Just fans. Not excited.
So Centenario is where I’m serving now. It is a pretty large
city, but not super big. I would compare it to Redmond or Kirkland, but not as
nice. We also do a lot of walking, but my feet are more or less holding up. All
the roads are asphalt, but covered with dirt, so that’s fun. The people here
are more or less friendly. My ward is great! The people are wonderful and very accommodating
to my language inabilities. It’s great! It’s also super tiny relative to K1. It’s
like 50-70 probably. Also, we don’t have a Bishop. We haven’t had one for
MONTHS! It’s insane. From what I’ve been told, it’s made a lot of things really
hard on the ward, as you can imagine. But rumor has it we should be getting one
soon! Here’s hoping!!
We still aren’t having much luck with finding investigators
in our area. But we are trying our best and I know the Lord will provide in His
time. It’s still hard for me to comprehend because I just assumed I would get
here and have so many people to teach and we would be baptizing and this and
that. But that is the opposite of what is happening right now. But it’s ok.
Pray for Centenario!! We need all the help we can get!!
I love you all!! I feel your support!! I’m grateful for
everything you all have done for me!!
Sister Elison: I love you so much! Thank you for all the
support! You and Sister Rowley are just the best!! I miss you guys so much!!
Tell the seminary kids I send my love!
