Hola!
Wow how cool it is to see you in those earrings in the picture you
sent. I am always wondering about that stuff, if what I sent arrived and the
condition that it all arrived in. This next week I am going to send a cd that
has a ton of photos on it. Hopefully it will arrive without any problems.
So in response to the millions of questions Mom asked.
How is the work? The work right now is pretty hard we are trying hard to find new
people to teach and we are having some success now and then. These things come
with time.
How is my companion? My companion is the same old fart. I think that he is great,
really funny and likes to have fun; makes the work a little bit easier.
What are you doing for your Preparation day (P-day)? Today we are having a very unusual event happen
we are having a massive multiple zone conference slash family home evening
tonight. I think that it is going to be super sweet because I get to see some
of the guys from my group. I will be sure to bring my camera.
Are there any Holiday coming up? (We asked this because we
don’t always receive a letter when a holiday comes along.) Well we just had a crazy holiday here. One of
the major catholic saints had a “birthday” so there were crazy long lines of
people in the streets yelling and holding flowers. It was pretty interesting to
see them all and it made it pretty hard to teach because everyone was outside.
How is the food? What are
you eating? The food here well… its food. Still lots of
rice and chicken and rice and chicken and rice and chicken and rice and
chicken… oh ya and a little bit more of rice and chicken and rice and chicken…
and sometimes… they serve rice and chicken.
What else do you do on P-days? This p-day we are going to
play the national sport of South American.
Here in the South America they call it futbol, but in the United States
of America we call it SOCCER. I am pretty tired of playing soccer.
Do you do your own laundry? Well we have a place that
does our Laundry for us. When I was in Iquitos the pensionista, ya, she did
everything, but here we take all our dirty clothing to the Laundry mat.
What did you do on the 4th of July? I spent
the fourth of July… working… because that holiday doesn’t exist here! Hahahahah.
What is the weather like? It is hard for me to
remember that it is summer in Montana right now… nuts. Right now it is pretty
cold, that’s only because of the humidity.
How is your health? I have a cold right now
but that’s all good… I would rather have a cold then be stomach sick again like
I was in Iquitos.
How are your shoes holding up?
(He talked about black boots but we couldn’t find them at home) The
black boots, Yes, we thought about buying the ankle high boots but we never
bought them because I didn’t want to spend the money on them. So stop looking for them! The other
dock martins that I took with me were… drum role… awful. They fell apart; I
will send you a picture of them. It’s pretty funny. I have taken Uncle Joe´s
shoes three times to a tailor because those too keep falling apart. Hmmmmmmm
maybe the military has a boot that will last a little longer. I don’t want shin
high boots, only above the ankle if that is possible.
Interesting side note… I say this with love… but… Mom, Dad you are
just such a sweet couple of old koots. I love seeing pictures of you guys. It
makes me super happy to see all the differences in you. I don’t know, I don’t
feel like I am changing all that much, but you all are starting to look
different to me. Maybe because I am surround by Latinos… or maybe I am just
imagining things.
Well I am happy that Aubrei and John are still going strong. I
hope that everything goes super well. I just keep saying the same thing every
week but that’s because I really don’t know anything… that’s ok though.
I saw a poster for Captain America this week while I was on the
bus. So as you can assume it was only for like 6 seconds, Looks cool.
I think by now you can tell that I don’t have a cool story for
this week. I was thinking about what I could write about today. I arrived at the conclusion that I have no
idea. (So he answered all of Mom’s questions..Yeah!!)
Love you all so much
Elder Harris
