Well, tis is going to be hard and fast. In Zone conference ths last Tuesday, we were told a few things on the obedience, one including ´and on Monday´s remember you only have 30 minutes, that´s plenty of time´... hahaha, youre funnyl I also apologize if I get afew typos in here. The backspace is a little turd so I don´t know how well it´s going to work out in my favor. Well because our time was rduced a little bit here i´m going to focus a little more on the emails you sent me and reply. first off, Dad youre on! I will take that bet. Why? Caus we baptize on Saturday, HAHAHAHAHA Well here´s the story. Our area is split into three major parts. ¨La COnstitucion¨ Below the freeway, ¨La Martinica¨ above the Freeway and ´THe Mesa Colorada´ Way out in the iddle of frickin nowhere. Usually Elder Heldt and I were in the Consti, and we stared working in the Mesa, and Elders Arbon and Companion are in the Martinica. So it´s kind of stuck that way. However we talked with somelady at the busstop not to long ago and she was interested and we ending up taking the same bus and talking with her. We went to pass by her house, but later we found out nobody was home, but before we had that privilege we got of the bus and started up the hill, but we heard somebody whistling at us. Yelling, HEY! Hey! *whistle, whistle/* im going to apologize really quick somebody just started playing houseo f the dead on the computer net to me, and it´s a little bit of a distraction. ... ?! We kept walking for a little bit but I turned around and we walked over to him,This is really distracting....We got to him and he introduced himself as Armando and said ´The other elders said you were coming by yesterday, what happened?´We had no idea what he was taling about...Well, here we are! He lives here in our area, about 2 blocks from where we were headed, but he was assisting another ward and being taught by the elders there. However the elders there couldn´t visit him, because he' s in our area, so they were going to hand it over to us. I think... maybe, I actually think we just kind of stole himm... hehe.So we passed by later and he's been to church 5 times now including yesterday and loves it, is trying to change his life. His family isn't interested... yet, MWAHAHAHAHA... but he plugs on. He sells fish, so every time we go over there he fries one up, this time he's making basically a fish salad that you eat with tostadas So he´s getting baptized this week or next week.Does that mean i win?Its interesting to hear about Tanner and all of that stuff. its ... just interesting ... to know. I don´t now how else to say in, lol.Now here´s the thing. I believe I said something about Elder Gonzalez last week, that I´m not going to speak too soon. A few things have happened. I´m working to put things back up, but I don´t know. I have to deal with ´will you allow me to buy a pizza tomorrow? (Sunday) huh? huh? OH WAIT, I don´t need your permission i'm senior companion, I´ll do what I want and you have to do what I say. SO... that was a problem. I really want to keep the rules now, the signs have been here in front of me, and I knew they were signs too, I was just lazy, but I need too keep them. I get made fun of alot for that though, I don´t really fit in with the rest of the group here, they usually joke about me, and I can´t really say anything. its mocking...not just joking around, they say it with intention and if I say anything back they get upset. So its , yeah.... I´ve been working under the table lately, writing letters to the ward mission leader, talking to the elder quorum leader and setting up the appointments and things that way. Putting in the word to everyone through others. Its all coming together. Manipulation was never one of my strong points, but it will be! HAHA! Lol I always feel bad when I write this stuff to you guys. The truth is I dont´feel really bad right now. I'm getting used to it, and i loved dads letter, that´s one of the ones I´m going to print off. Before I forget I need you to call Jon and say thanks for me. He wrote me again. = P Last night was kind of bad, lol. After church we went home for a little bit waiting for the lunch app. and after the lunch appointment which was great we went to Ascencion and Florentino's house. Well lets say that we got there at 5 and left at 11. Lol. Elder Heldt and his family were there and that was fun. Before Elder Heldt left and all that jazz I was with La Hermana Ascencion and we had a blast then we switched off and I went downstairs with the brother, Hermano Florention, and we talked about all sorts of stuff, like whats been happening. We were talking about, though, how he had been inactive for 9 years and his how I reactivated story. He commented, at the store, elders pass by all the time, tons of elders always pass by, but it never struck him to stop them, until you and Elder Heldt walked by. Just for the record this story made up for my feeling bad about getting home at 1130, lolHe was sitting inside, a little bench and his wife was standing outside. In front of their tortilla store there's a wall, moreover, the store next door extends outward and then dips in when you get there. Now Elder Heldt and I were walking by and we come around the corner and,´Hey!´ Whoah! Hey ELders I want you to baptize my kid (Remember this was Andres)Uhhh.... (We look at each other)... Ok he´s 9. (Here we look at each other really happily again) OK! Now when we passed by, Florentino told me, that he told his wife, talk to them. And they stopped us, I never saw him and I didnt know he was there til he told me this last night. But he saw me offer his wife a cookie, when she said no, I made a sad face and whimpered and she took it. He said theres good elders and bad elders but some are just special. That we are angels to him and his family and he will never forget of Elder Heldt nor I. That his family to come will know of us. I´m actually not sure if he said that last line about the future generations , but that´d be really cool! Ascenecion always says I´m a kid, lol, a niño, and it´s really true... for example they and Elder Heldt were talking one time and I was shaking the 7up and listening to it bubble, lol. I shook it and opened up the cap by her ear so it went BSSSHHHH!!! Lol. WooHOO!! We were talking about how I want to stay here during the next change and that I want to hit the rainy season here! I mentioned I love the rain and the dark obscurity. He pondered for a second, later in the conversation he brought it back. He said, along these lines, your personality is unique, Elder. Gonzalez made a ´funny´ comment and laughed at it but nobody else did and then Ascencion said no it´s true! When something bad happens or a dark situation or something ... feo, means ugly but they use it to mean unpleasing. when something feo happens you don´t get upset, you enjoy it, and I don´t remember what she said but it was a very nice compliment. I mentioned I like the dark sky, walks in the park, I like the Mesa Colorada the most,(which is dirt and gangbangers, not the most loved place in the world). Now a few things of businesss. I'm going to need a package. But please take your time its not important, actually just start assembling it and I'll mention stuff everyonce in a while and then send it, but my cargo shorts, I want those, lol, and my black vans (shoes) Things of that nature. That and maybe another shirt from Hot Topic, lol. Second, I gave Ascencion your email, mwahahaha, and she's going to email you, in Spanish. GO to freetranslations.com and you can transate it, kk? Third, I hope you´re learning spanish, because Im not going to translate for you when we come back, i´m serious, its really awkward and the conversations aren´t that great, so start learning. Just everyday take an hour on Rosetta stone or something, kk?Fourth, GREAT NEWS!Guess what? Hermana Raquel, remember her? Shes moving to the Mesa Colorada. Shes moving into my area! WHOO!! Yeah.Love you bye!-Elder Jacabothan Danielathan TylotothanP.S. I dont know, it sounded Romanage-----
