We're in the future!!! No, I actually was trying to type
just the 15, but I hit the 4 key as well, and it made me laugh to think of
ourselves 139 years in the future, so I decided to keep it. It's the little
things!
Today was good, went over to District Meeting (15 mins
walking) and received a Christmas-themed capacitacion, aka, we were given candy
canes and we watched Mr. Kruger's Christmas. Sweet video, almost made me cry,
but it was nice to see something like that from home. It's interesting, because
in our district (of ourselves, the DL and his companion, and the ZL's...kinda
reminds me of Santa Cruz, but there's only us 2 missionaries in the branch, not
all 6) everyone is gringo-speaks English except for E Granja, one of the ZL's,
so it was kinda like over in Santa Cruz with Hna Escobar...I actually just made that
connection.
E Purcell (ZL) is from New Zealand , is really big, and is
going pretty gray already, it appears. Speaks English with actually a very
small accent, I was surprised, all the over NZers I know have very strong
accents and I almost can't understand their English. I get them better in
Spanish.
E Granja (ZL) is from Ecuador , looks like a typical
latino but is really, really big. He speaks and understands English perfectly,
like E Lorenzana . Nice guy.
E Hadley (DL training newbie) is from Utah ,
blondie, blue-eyed, reminds me a little of E Oldham serving over in El Salvador .
Problem is, I struggle to understand him on the phone. Mumbles and talks really
fast. Nice enough guy, though.
E Poulson (newbie in training) came with Hna Mora, is from Utah as well. Dark hair,
blue eyes, except his irises look small. I can't figure out why. Already knows
a ton of Spanish so he came out with 2 weeks in the CCM. Is a motorcycle geek.
Hna Mora (my newbie in training) already has 2 months in the
mission, so she's almost there! She's a cutie, from McAllen ,
TX , parents are from the DR and Mexico , she's
fluent in English and Spanish, although is still learning las palabras
catrachas. Dark hair, brown eyes, lighter skin but is still a
little tanner than me.
So after District Meeting we went out to eat again to a new
place we had found as we were working the other day. It sells a whole bunch of
stuff, so Hna Mora and I got fried fish and the elderes got various types of
grilled meat. It was on the pricey side, but very good. So that was a fun
lunch.

And then we did a lot of visits, so that was good. Went over
and got to know some recent converts and members that live over in la colonia
Miraflores, which has flat parts for the fields, and a lot of hilly mountain
things for where the houses are. So you've got to cross all the fields to get
to the mountains, and then climb up the mountains, and go find this blessed little
house. But that was fun, we brought out our flashlights again when it got dark
and we still had to get back down.

And for my dinner I made some twisty noodles with a seafood
sauce packet, and some green beans with a little bit of lime juice. And drank a
ton of water. I liked that dinner.
