Hey familia!
Well I guess I'll get the hard part out of the way. To be
honest the passing of Grandpa is no harder for me than the passing of Otis. Please don't take that the wrong way but simply I teach
the people in situations a lot harder about God's love for us. I help others
understand that this world is only a brief challenge and the result of me
teaching that is that is becomes written in my heart. I understand 100% that this
life is not all, and honestly, that grandpa is a lot happier now than before. I
feel more than anything for Grandma, who jut lost her life partner,and for
Mom, Aunt Leslie, Aunt Janine, and Aunt Debbie who lost their father. Death has
been one of the bigger challenges here. When someone tells you they have brain
cancer and they are not going to make it, I have the special opportunity to
teach them where they are going and of the mercy of God. I guess in short, you
guys are in my payers.
You are right mom, I have two bigger memories of grandpa.
Riding in his truck to school every day and having him say, ''Ask me a
question''. I learned about how a car works but honestly I don't remember much.
The other I have is his attitude for working. Always was working in his ward,
even after he lost his memories. He loved to work and have a perfect yard. When
we put in gravel in the backyard he was there with his truck helping out. Just
picture the same willingness to work up there in Heaven. He's doing all he can
now to help others find the gospel.
Now for the week. I feel bad for my little bro now. Being
sick is the worst. Especially throwing up. Luckily I haven't had the all night
experience here but I did have a night when I was sick. It sucked because I
wasn't about to go sleep on the nasty Ecuadorian bathroom floor. I had to stay
in my bed. But it only lasted one night and that was a while ago. Now I
abolutely love our new house. People say we went from the worst house in the
mission to one of the best. I will send pictures this time, last week we were
in a crappy cyber and the USB didnt work, sorry.
My Thanksgiving was actually pretty sweet. We ate turkey
with the family Surita and it was delicious. With real mashed potatos. Later,
hno Peña bought us a giant hot dog with a drink, then took us to his house and
gave us another huge plate of spaghetti, with 4 GIANT mangos to go. My stomach
hurt so bad!!
Last week we also had inspections. We passed with flying
colors. We had to go back to the other house to inspect it too but it was all
good. President walks into our bathroom and goes, ''You guys win the prize for
the best smelling bathroom!'' haha it was funny. I love our new house. With
green tile walls in the bathroom and a nice shower. And a nice bedroom and kitchen and loft. And balcony
thing.. with hammocks and ping pong and a drum set. It's really nice.
About skype, I think you can do 3 way calls but you have
to buy an account. Not sure though. That's still like 3 weeks away though.
Well, I'm gunna send some pics now, Love you guys!
