Grandma B wants to know if you recieved money from her. She said that she sent it before you left the MTC. but only by a couple days.
ya i got her letter and money in the mail. while in the mtc. it was super nice. i wrote her back but i havent sent it yet. everything was so hectic at the last week and first couple weeks here. so there will be mail incoming! soooon.
How far is the mission home from where you are? That's where you get your mail right? And how often? once a week?
the home is three hours away. so i have yet to get mail. everyone says that we usually get mail once a month.
Do you have a bike? what is the transportation you use?
well for the far parts of stuff we use public transportation, busses, cabs and bikes with side carts on them. there was an announcment that we were getting bike like 4 months ago but it hasnt come true yet. i look forward for that day. The use jeepneys mostly in the city.
Jessica has written you 5 letters (at least) BUT I don't think that she's put enough postage on the letters. I think she's only put 1 stamp on them. She just got one letter back yesterday. That's the only thing we can think of as to why it was returned. So I think that she'll prolly be getting all those back and you'll be getting a ton all at once but not for awhile. I also sent you a letter through the pouch system last week. (you haven't gotten it yet..have you?) I wanted to do an experiment to see if there was a faster route...but I didn't send one the other way yet. I will this week with Jensen's emails that I send you. Have you been told how many stamps to put a regular letter? We've been told 3 but haven't tested it yet...like I said I will this week..I'll prolly send it on Tuesdee.
ya it would be goood to use three stamps. thats what all my comps ppl do.takes about three weeks to get here so ya.
Do you have any food requests? We're getting ready to send you a care package sometime this week too. Have any special requests? We'll of course send you potty paper.
actually dont send toilet paper. its just going to be expensive and hard, and i NEED to get used to using my hand. gross but its just better for everyone that way. macncheese is great, oh i have like 5 extra garment bottoms, so maybe some medium tall mesh? its da best!! an assortment of nice goodies that are ant proof. cuz they get into everthing!!!!!!!!!! more nike socks. try to get thinnish nikes but nice ones that wont get holes very quick. the ones that i have are great they are lrg and have a white band on the inside of the top of the sock.fruit leather, granola bars, a few pocket sized BOMs. in english. maybe some idahoan loaded mashed potatoes?? elder woods suggestion. they're delicious sister smith, and great for missionaries...trust me, I've been here 7 months! love, elder wood :D
Weirdest thing this week?
hmmmm... well since elder morris is in my district, we have district meeting every week. there are only two campanionships in our district. us and elder morris. so they came to our apt. after the meeting for lunch me and elder morris went to the store to get some water. but on our way to the store, i saw a snake in the road that had been decapitated. it was squirming and wiggling and stuff. so we were getting closer to it and elder morris didnt notice it. i said "Elder, watch out!" and he looked down and screamed!! and jumped away. He was like>Is that a cobra??? i had no idea so he shouted to one of the pinos near us: Who is that? Meaning to say, What is that. they all looked at us like what the crap did he say. then they all responded Snake Snake, in english. and then he realized his mistake. it was super funny:)
orrrr.. one night we were walking back to our apt. and we saw two dogs that were "stuck" together.... awkward... ha but anyways we just stood there and laughed, then out of no where, a huge dog started fighting with the boy dog! it was sad cuz the one that was stuck couldnt defend itself. so it took a big beating. we then were like, "thats what you get for breaking the law of chastity!" hahaha it was funny
We haven't done a new word for awhile new word...or phrase..got one for us? How about...Where is the banio?
hmm well that one is: Asa sa C.R.(comfort room) pretty simple. but the word for firework is Kabuto. it literally means explosion. if you say it with the wrong intonation, it is a really bad swear word... haha so i avoid that word.
Do you have a question for us?? (Jensen gave us a question..as to who has gotten married since he's been gone) Coach Cardoso, Kevin Rosen. both in December. Jaylyn Hemmingway
none at this moment but i will prolly.. hah
Has your week been better than last week?
ya it has. its still difficult cuz we have no progressing investigators, but other than that went lots better.
Favorite thing about your companion?
-- he is american. haha speaking and understanding a language is nice.
