Hello All,
We are going to the Central Market tomorrow, and on a tour of the city, so
I am on earlier than normal.
First off, the Frat Casa is still a dump, but our district placed 6 Books of Mormon this week, so its worth how dumpy it is. The water only works every once and a while, and today it turned off when I was all soapy, so I smell extra soapy today. Also, I've stopped seeing bugs all together, which sounds good, but I'm pretty sure it just means that I'll get to meet the one eating all of the little spiders. And for the final comment on the Frat Casa, when we walked in on Friday night, we were welcomed by 15 of the most ancient people I have ever seen, all in their nicest garments. That was something I didn't want to see, and hope I never witness again.
I accidentally swore at my teacher during a lesson this week. Punto means
point, but if you forget the N, its a no no word, so that was funny. Hermano
Morales just laughed for fifteen minutes, so we ended and decided to try again
later hahaha. Oh, and I would like to share the only 3 English phrases he
knows.
1. Is important. It's and is are the same word for him, and he says this
fifty times per day.
2. I tink is a good idea. "Th" is not a sound in Spanish, so he can't figure out how to say it. This is used only slightly less than is important,.
3. You need to help the persons, always. This is my favorite, not only because its important, but because its funny with his accent.
Oh, and he makes us pay him under the table with Peanut M&Ms which he
just calls peanuts.
When we talk to Latinos from San Pedro Sula, they always apologize, then try their very hardest to explain ridiculous heat and gigantic spiders in broken English
Finally, I really hurt my back playing basketball on Saturday. Like, I
could barely breath, and I could barely walk to the nurses office. Even she
didn't know what to do. So she gave me some ibuprofen and some ice. After an
hour of that not helping, I decided to have Elder Adams give me a blessing. It
was so cool. I wish I could explain the Spirit in the room as he put his hands
on my head and gave me a blessing. It immediately got better, and hasn't given
me any problems since.
Anyway, that's it for this week. I am so excited to finally get out of here
so I can teach some people and send some pictures. I love you all so much.
-Elder Caleb Aldrich
