Hola mia familia!
Sounds like you all had an exciting week with ducks and squirrel and everything. Sounds like ducks are a lot of fun. Super clean and all :) Good thing they're cute, right? I can´t believe Skyler is leaving next month! That´s so insane! Hey and thanks so much for doing a package and stuff. And really you don´t need to send me any treats. They have things here. But the only things that I miss are things with peanut butter like Reese´s Peanut Butter Cups and Fastbreaks. Phwoo, those are good :) But I don´t need them, so just make it as cheap as possible, okay? Good. So I just wanted to answer some of Dad´s questions before I forget. The members here are incredible. We are in a rama of about 20 active members and whoever else we can get to come to the capilla. We have a lot of investigators that are progressing but have something stopping them from being baptized, like not being married and having to go to Colombia to do it, or their parents saying no. But we still are working with them. We are trying to focus this week on finding new investigators that are willing and able to progress to baptism. So we do a lot of contacting in the street and tocando puertas. It´s a party. And the members are good about helping us out with references when they get them, the problem is that, with only a few of them, they have been asked the same thing for years and the missionaries have milked them dry. Kinda hard in that way, but they´re are still great. It´s just like a little family here. And sadly, I´m afraid I might have to leave soon. We don´t know for sure, claro, but Elder Wright dies in June (goes home, digo) and I´ve already been here for almost 3 transfers. Normally people only stay in an area for 4 transfers max and if I stayed the next transfer I would have to be here for the next transfer too, because I´d be the only one around to know the area. So we´re thinking I might go here in 3 weeks after this transfer ends. And it stinks because me and Elder Wright get along super super well. It´s a ton of fun with him, and we work well together. And he taught me how to solve a rubix cube, so I can do that now. I know, I´m cool. And Presidente Deere is amazing. He reminds me a lot of President Claire and that´s saying something because Pres. Claire is incredible. I´m basically just in the best mission ever, that´s all.
So yeah, how did Ammon get to go to choir tour? Fetchin lucky! And Logan, as always, super beastly on the field. And I have eaten flan. In fact I´ve already particpated in a flan sucking race, which is basically you suck up the flan and swallow it as fast as you can. Pretty great. But I still have not had a paella :( and tapas are just way too expensive for us. But other Spanish things are great. Spanish food is just like, I don´t even know. It´s healthy, sometimes. It´s just hard to describe. It´s just very mediterranean. That´s all but yeah, things are going well. The new compie is awesome. He likes musical theater and loves music and we just get along really well. But yeah things are going awesome. I love hearing from you all and seeing the picutres. I don´t have any this week, sorry, but I´ll be taking more soon. Good luck with the messy ducks and all the mission prep Skyler! Keep up the good work you all. Love you a ton.
Elder Flint
