This has been a fun adventure. I was typing on a different computer and first there was a virus and i got about ten minutes into my letter and it changed pages on me, to some website telling me not to take drugs. Well I started over and then the computer froze, I waited a little bit but then I just asked to switch computers. I didin´t get your letter if you wrote one, so Ill just ramble on about a few things that have happened I guess. The week went by pretty fast. First week here in Christmas Bar. Barra de Navidad, a unique little area, but come to the Grand Bay Hotel , a nice private island resort just on the other side of the lagoon here.
Monday as you know we were traveling around all day and Tuesday went to Distrct CLass then got to the area and had a mini pday. Wednesday we worked and then Thursday we went into Colima to meet the new president. I could complain for hours and hours and hours, but to no avail. So, instead I'll just give you a run down, actually a censored one so they sound nicer actually, and you can decide. It started with thier daughter's 20 testimony. I know .. I know I kno I know I know I know.... etc. 15 later. I know I know I know amen. Then their son who got home from the mission about a month ago got up and started talking about the missionaries they had met the day before and how he wanted to send them home and would have but he doesn´t have that authority. He talked about more, but whether it was selective hearing or I just forgot, I don´t know. Then the mom, Hermana Saucedo. First off might I point out that their last name is Saucedo. Or at least has it in their name. How do i even describe what she said. Apparently they got their call, when I got in the mission field. 10 months before they got here, she said, and started preparing. She took the time to remind us of the rules we had apparently forgotten and had no idea existed... ,´= \ All she talked about was rules. Then he got up, He gave us his life story told us why he´s a quiet guy, that he doesn´t care if anyone wants to go home, no remorse, he´ll feel bad later, and yeah. We had a 30 second interview with him and then his wife again, gave us ´advice´ on how to use our agenda. i....I don´t even know what to reply to that. Well Friday we planned and changed houses. New house is cool, I explained it in the email I wrote and got erased. So I´ll tell you soemtime. Right now we´re goign to buy hammocks. I hope; I went to exchange money, but they´re not exchanging right now. I got Starbucks, hot chocolate, in the morning and we just went to Dairy Queen, so today´s been cool. It´s hard to stay positive and not comlain. The last 2 days, yesterday and today have been... better. I want to work but it´s just difficult, I don´t know how to describe it. It´s always like this, though. I get better Sunday, Monday´s ok then I get sad Everything I see, I see a game hear a song, see the beach, whatever, a car, taking the bus now makes me just ready... I want to work I want to be here. But ... how do I describe it. I only have 9 months out. I have a 1 year and 90 days, 450 days before I get home ish. I again feel bad for recounting that, like guilty, I´m working to get over it. And I need too. Forget myself and go to work. Thanks for all of your support! I really appreciate it, and I got my two b-day packages! Thanks! Lol, Gotto go, I love you more than ever before, can´t wait to hear from you! -Jake
