meow,
yo whats up! well another week in the books!
im an expert out here with my spanish! haha not!! o man i
never know what the heck is going on..... NEVER
well to be honest the days are always up and down. i
absolutely love it out here because every day is a new experience... its hands
down the hardest thing i have ever done... thats for sure. but i try to always
stay happy and be myself.
ill try and share some stories....
so yesterday im having a pretty good day right? i tried to
have a permanent smile on my face and joke around with members with my
spanish.... and im havin a good day... high spirits and im doing just great! so
we´re walking along the streets at about 6pm and all the sudden this dog from
hell attacks me and bites my leg!! haha satan sent his demon little dog after
me to mess my day up!! haha dont you worry because satan didnt bring my spirits
down... his devil little dog ripped a hole in my pants and left two nice
dagger marks in my leg though...
it was a MASSIVE DOG... a big ol pitbull.... nah just kiddin
it was like a 7 pound dog from hell.... but the good news is that it was a
street dog and probably has rabies :) and i dont know if i should say hell but
thats where the dog was from... mean little sucker
soooooooo we clean it out and then go to this little junky
hospital and i have noooo earthly clue where we are going or what im supposed
to do because i cant really communicate with anybody... haha so this little
demon dog has caused a lot of confusion for me in the past 24 hours... because
we have gone to 3 hospitals now and ive gotten 3 different shots for rabies and
i have to get like 4 more shots throughout the week...
haha so yeah 11 days in argentina and ive been bit!
satan is a mean little man trying to do all he can to get me down... nope not gonna happen satan.. because im doing good and im happy!!
ummm it rained a ton the other day!! ha my pants were absoultely
soaked!!! it was awesome! haha im being serious in saying it was awesome... im
not being sarcastic momma..
another funny story...
so we are eating at this members house and he grabs my plate
and drops this weird looking food on my plate.... hahahah im my mind im like
¨AWESOME.... NOT... haha how am i going to gag this food down¨ haha it wasnt
what you would consider to be weird but i think every food is weird.... i bet
you all would love it.... so it didnt taste bad.. it actually tasted good but i
still struggled to eat it... then right when i finish the member grabs my
plate.... ¨im thinking woah man what are you gonna put back on my plate´´
and he puts twice the amount back on my plate!!! hahahaha AWESOME! ha so
i ate it again :) and i didnt die so i guess things are good! every meal
is a new experience for me... haha but the food really is good... and no im not
being sarcastic.
ill share something i wrote this week...
so im focusing on devolping the characters of christlike and
being a more christlike person. every 6 weeks ill choose a new attribute of
christ...
the first 6 weeks is hope... haha you can probably guess why
i choose hope because i dont know what the heck is being said so i should
probably hope in the future ill know the language :)
have hope that this will happen... the savior promises us
this.
´´peace i leave with you, my peace i give unto you: not as
the world giveth, give i unto you. let not your heart be troubled neither let
it be afraid´´ john 14 27
let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
have that hope. what a wonderful this it is to know that we dont need to be
troubled nor do we need to be afraid of anything because of what the savior can
do for us. peace he will give unto you... but do you have the hope of that
sentence being true...
well thats me trying to think deep... haha
ill try and answer some of your questions momma...
1. Hows the spanish?
haha well i never know what the heck is
going on... i can tell its getting better and i cant doubt that i have
progressed in so many ways... but ill be honest in saying its really difficult
because my comp cant speak any english....
haha ive become my own best friend out
here!! haha i feel like ive gone looney and im always talking to myself. ha
trying to make myself laugh or havng a conversation with my own brain!! i
dont have anybody to really express true emotion to whether that is positive emotions
of the spirit or if im struggling with something. its hard because i never know
whats going on in lessons and after the lesson i cant get feedback on what
happened... so its hard
having said that i know its a blessing that i
have a comp that cant speak any english... i know that my spanish will be that
much better.
well on a side note this lady just lit a cigarette right
next to me and is blowing her smoke pretty much in my face :) hahaha so thats
awesome! i love me some tobaccy.... i just asked her if i could take a puff but
she couldnt understand my spanish so she couldnt answer my question.... i guess
no cigs for me today!! haha just kiddin missionaries cant say that stuff.... my
bad
2. how is my comp
my comp is way awesome! we try and joke around
as much as we can even though we cant really talk to each other in detail! haha
we work really hard though
3. quiet week talking to myself?
haha yeah its pretty quiet because
im always trying to answer my own questions... i never know what we are doing
or if i do its not in detail... haha so thats an adventure of its own. but its
all good! haha ive really had to have patience so its good for me.... i really
do love it.. its kind of a love hate though!
4. is the food good?
yes the foood is delicious!! love it! a lot of
meat which of course i like... yummy yummy in my tummy.... gobble that meat up
well thats all ive got for this week!!! dont be worrying
about me at all because im loving it!! its hard but its awesome!
i truly can see the savior helping me and ive seen lives
changed already through this gospel.
i hope all is well back in the 801....
ooo yeah i heard some kid cudi on the bus today.... it was
soooo awesome!! haha thats rap music momma.... GANGSTA MUSICA FOR THE
ARGENTINES... but its american music.
see ya in a bit
-Elder Cole Myers
when in doubt..... kick any dog that is barking at you...
thats at least what i learned :)
