Aye aye aye.. You guys are all so trunky! All yall telling me to work hard cause the days are going fast.. I've got schlops of time. 2 weeks is plently. It's funny, I've been telling myself my whole mission: maybe it'll sink in when I have 18 months. When I passed 18 months I told myself I'd feel real when I had 20 months. When I passed the 20 month mark, I said '' It's gotta just be something you feel when you're in your last transfer.. Meanwhile on my second to last week of the mission, I'm telling myself, '' It's gonna come when I'm a few days short.. I'm not really sure time works the same after you've spent so much time baking in the sun. I guess I'll let you know if it happens this week.
And how the last week went!
Last week we were bouncing around pretty much everywhere. We had some presentation thing for our zone, thursday, about the proper way to count and recieve references. Apparently I've been doing it wrong my whole mission, and they decide to correct me NOW in my vejez. Haha! That was a fun day, cause the AP's let me drive the van to go get pizza! Kinda impossible how it actually happened, but I'll just explain it to you when we're all around the family room drinking hot chocolate one day.
We done macheted or as they say it here 'chappiado'' a huge front patio the other day which gave me to biggest juiciest blister of my life, and also me the oppurtunity to learn a new word: ampoya (blister). I also tried a trick I've seen mexicans do, and I'm here to back them up on this one. If you're out working in the yard and the suns real hot, put a tshirt over your whole head as it serve for sun protection and a sweat wrag. Pretty smart eh?
We are really feeling ansty about some of the fechas we've got going for the 15. They were 7 at first, last sunday it turned into realistically 5, and now 2 have more or less flaked out due to lack of church assistance. So.. we're gonna pass by to see as to why these certain investigators of ours didn't come sunday. The 3 are solid and have a great spirit about them, but still. To be baptized, you've gotta go to church. That's a given.
Well, the guy running the internet cafe just put on Play that Funky Music by James Brown, so I'm pretty much just sitting here trying not to sing along.. Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you dieeee
We were gonna go to some sa weeet caves today but my companion convienently developed a hemorrhiod 2 days ago, so we went to the doctor instead. But then we got so ice cream so it was a good day.
Don't worry too much about me. I'm still just same ole Elder Tate.
I would advise yall to pray for patience, but everyone knows he who prays for patience recieves trials.. I'll let you decide.
Love love love
Elder Tate
