So this week was really good but
spiritual and fun. Not that spiritual stuff isn´t fun but it was good.
Last Monday was so funny. After
writing we went to the health center with the other Elders in search of a
nurse, who was a contact. So we are walking there I was with E. Wilson and our
companions were together. We entered the building first and then the others
came in but the building is a bit funky. It has a glass Wall in front that
looks like one of the really professional doors that they have in hospitals but
we are in Ascensión so it´s not a door it´s just a Wall. Then on the side there
is a door. So we went in and our companions were too busy talking that they
didn´t see us go in the door on the side. So they saw us on the other side of
the glass and thought it was the door. They tried going through and were really
confused how we got through and why the door wasn´t opening. It was really
funny. I almost died laughing but I was in the hospital so I didn’t die.
Ok spiritual; so we have two
families that are really cool that I have a lot of fondness (thank you google
translate) for them. One is Guerrero and his family. They always pay a lot of attention
and they actually understand. We taught them the Word of wisdom and they
started telling us why coffee and tea was bad. It was really cool. They
understood everything really well.
The other family is Virgilio and his
family (it´s funny because Virgilio is from Guerrero but Guerrero isn´t from
Virgilio). They are super cool. They are the ones who speak Mixteco. We are in
the process of marrying them. They are Lamanites so they never really did the
paperwork. Sometimes with them I feel like a licenciado, like a White collared,
I don´t know it’s like a lawyer. So I feel like a lawyer because I make a bunch
of calls to a bunch of people in the city council trying to fill out paperwork.
I’m just missing a medical test that we’ll do Saturday and then the wedding the
1 of Dec. I’m really excited for them. The other Elder had a baptism so
Virgilio was able to go to that and the church on Sunday.
We had a really weird situation this
week. we knocked a few doors in the night to contact. We knocked a door and
this old guy interrupts our “We’re missionaries from..” and said “come in come
in.” So we went in and taught to the two really old people and we were like do
you know who we are? Nope. Do you know what church we are from? Nope. I was
like Stranger Danger right. I guess they just wanted a spiritual message about
Jesús. I was a Little confused but it was good.
So here in La Chona we’re 4
missionaries. I’m training and in the other area Elder Wilson is also training.
So our two sons remind me a lot of Tanner and Price. My companion is Tanner and
the other is Price. So Tanner is from Colombia and well Price is Mexican. So
Tanner will say something like cógelo which is a bad Word in Mexico but in
Colombia it’s pick it up. So Price starts complaining to Tanner that he needs
to learn Spanish. Sometimes E Wilson and I only sit there and laugh because
of how silly their fights are. Yesterday I could only laugh because Tanner was
trying to kick Price out of the house because he was eating a donut and some
crumbs fell and he kept stepping on it. Then Price started teaching Tanner
piano by doing a do ray me but with ah ah a a a ah a ah. I looked like they
were monkeys. It´s really funny. They always crack me up.
Well we start a new cycle this week.
They never called me even though I stayed up until 11:30 waiting so I don´t
think that I have transfers.
Have a great week, Happy birthday to
Mindy, Marshall and Dad and Tanner too because I know that it´ll slip pass me.
Keep up the great work preaching to your friends. Help the missionaries.
Love,
Elder Nelson
