Hola amigos!
Well I don't have a whole lot of time today but
here are some of the big things that have happened in the past few weeks:
1. I got transferred for the first time! That
means that I’m in a new area now. I was in good ol' Donna TX but I am now in
Flour Bluff! It is a suburb basically of Corpus Christi and my area is the
whole bluff part. It is super different than Donna. There is really
no Spanish up here so it is weird doing everything in English now
because I was so used to Spanish. It is also a ton nicer here than in
Donna. It’s all good though I already love it up here!
2. Christmas and New Year's were good
as well. We had a ton of food appointments...which is a blessing and a
curse at the same time. It was all good though and I got to talk to my family
on skype for while so that was good, too!
3. I am still in a bike area so I'm excited
about that (I like being on the bike more than in a car – it’s easier to talk
to people and it's more fun!).
4. I also met someone from Tennessee this
past week and that was a first as well!
5. I ate the absolutely hottest thing i have
ever eaten in my entire life on Christmas Eve. We were at a member of the church’s
house and there was this little pepper on the table. So I grabbed one, and
another missionary grabbed the other and we both ate them...HUGE
mistake. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Literally in less
than 5 minutes I was sweating like a monster, my nose was running, and there
were tears just flying down my cheeks it looked like I had been crying for
days. So after drinking tons of water I got to the point of no return and
ran outside and threw-up everywhere on the side of his yard. It was insane, I
will never EVER do that again. Oh, and he still doesn’t know I threw-up so
that's a plus, too.
Sorry this is pretty short but I don’t have
much time. My mission is going great though, I love every second of
it. At times is extremely hard and you don't really know what to do, but the
lessons and principles I have learned so far have helped me to grow and
progress and I am so grateful for those opportunities.
The Church is true!!
Les quiero mucho y come bien andrew!
