hi mama,
kumusta po nay,
love that you love the lake and being there with dad. some say it’s a lot of work. i can’t agree. dads a boss. tell him to email me about the topper truck. i’m sure the young women in the stake are going to miss you. a lot of girls siad they want to marry me bc of you, so thanks for that!! change is good tho. impressive school work, all A’s, wow!! proud of u always there.
thanks so much for the packages and other things. i really really appreicate it and you. sorry for being a pest. i love ya
if you guys want something to do, you could email my comp at robert.briones@myldsmail.net, send him some canadian love!!!!!
good week. one of the best ones yet. and what made it great wasnt anything too exciting i just started falling more deeply in love with the country, the work, and my comp. a whole lot of ups and a whole lot of work and results!!! figured out if you are truly busy, you don’t have time to be discouraged so thats the key. yeah, also the 1st world is suuupppeeerr lame and depressing. loving the 3rd world life style. super fun, happy and exciting. sanitation is nice but id rather be happy than clean.
interesting baptism. Sister LJ and Brother JL. i’m super close with both of them and they are great people. so both live in del norte but attend del sur (my area) but were taught by the del norte elders. some of my best friends. LJ has been taking the discussions for 4 years but couldnt get baptized because she wasnt married to MP even though they have had a kid. over here it takes forever to get married and they needed to wait until they were married to get baptized. they were baptized the week before. marco polo is an RM and part of the G family. i attended a FHE at their home last monday and haven’t laughed that much in a long time. so much love and spirit in that packed tiny shack. the dad of MP is in our branch presidency and is a truly amazing man. lucky to have met him. hard to explain so i wont bother. JL is also dating a girl and we are starting to hear wedding bells! LJ bore her testimony and ultimately said "these past years have been incredibly hard for many reasons but now i have a beautiful little boy, an amazing husband and have joined the true church. ive noticed Gods hand in my life." i guess its true, God works in mysterious ways.
the moms here are amazing. super capable and do so much for their families while always having a baby in one hand. huge respect for those woman. you wouldn’t believe the houses most live in as well....
another cool thing i’ll briefly mention is a crazy basketball tournament going on here. the Barangys (like town divisions) are competing and its very impresive. its like the equivalent of tuscany playing other communites like royal oak, etc. i’ve only walked past but there abure usually crowds of close to 1000 crowded around the outdoor copurt with so much masigla. the players (high school) are amazing too. they could easily compete with the high school players back home. its cool to bc they aren’t tall, just very quick with amazing shooting and ball handling. tim wardrops gonna love it here. crazy plays and crazy energy in this tiny corner of the world.
things are going better then ever in this area. we’ve done some weeding of no longer progressing investigators and used that time to find new investigators. taught 10 lessons one day. busy busy. happy happy.
Elder Kearl.
