Hey
Guys!
So this week’s been
pretty cool. They sent Elder Santos, one of my companions when I was in Puerto
Barrios, to the Maya, so the district meeting was literally almost
uncontrollable. Poor zone leaders. They also made me district leader for my
last change, so I have to keep myself on my toes and work little harder to help
not just my area, but 2 areas, so that’s interesting.
The major event of the
week was my last interview with President Crapo. Normally, he doesn’t do them
so early in the change, but that's because he will be going home 3 weeks before
me so he did mine early. On Friday, I got together in the morning with elder
Santos, and we went to Zona 10 of the capital. We got together with elder
Nawahine, my companion from the CCM (the missionary training center), and Elder
Suman, another friend from the CCM, and went and got doughnuts from Dunkin'
Doughnuts.
From there, we all in
succession had interviews with President Crapo. My interview was 3rd. We talked
about my goals, about tips for dating and marriage, and things I have to do to maintain
the Spirit after the mission. For me, it was a very spiritual and very
faith-building experience to talk to my mission President about the future and
know that there's a way to get through it.
From there, we went to
go eat lunch at a place called TGI Fridays. I'm pretty sure it's a big
restaurant in the States, but I had never seen it before, but I had a half back
of ribs and a 1.2 pound hamburger there- it was literally the best food I've
eaten in a long time. From there, we tried to get home, but there were no
busses that passed to where we were going, the lines for the transmetro were
super long, and there was a TON of traffic. We ended up being trapped in the
city until about 7 a night, but that wa all right because we all knew each
other from when we started the mission, so it was pretty cool to chill with the
bros.
We've got a lot of
cool projects going on right now. Thank you all for writing! See you soon!
