It’s been a crazzzzy
week! I learned a lot of new things!! First weird random thing.. all women
shave their heads. They all wear wigs or glue in hair or whatever they do. They
think hair is disgusting and it probably is out here since many just bucket
shower!! We had zone conference this
week and it was great! Just what I needed! I got a great companion who can chastise me
and help improve me! My attitude was sour towards role plays in our additional
studies. They still are ridiculous but I put forth my best attitude towards
them! Anyways zone conf. talked about
change of heart a lot and that hit home with me, loved it! Also talked about
this mission isn’t a sacrifice it’s a gift from God so better treat it like
one! We went to a mall afterwards for lunch.. and inside it felt like we
were in America. It was so weird but
still with their same weird food, nothing American, haha. I had a chicken salad. I was craving something
other than chicken and rice cuz that’s what everyone feeds us! we transported
there like we do just about anywhere.. back of the trucks! Craziness!!! We took a bus down there to Kingston, it’s
like a 30 mile drive and it was terrible. The bus stops and goes and stops and
swerves and about 90 minutes later we get there! It’s like 80Cents american and
it makes sense now they jam those buses so full when they make an emergency
stop everyone falls on top of everyone else!! Thursday we went over to
the other area to learn it cuz Elder Lacey leaves today so we will have 2 areas
for the rest of this transfer so we will be SuPER busy this week!! Friday we
had a friday fun night with a fireside on how members are so important to the
work and got them stoked about the work. It was pretty good! Saturday we were at the
church ALL DAY! Fellowship. conference.lunch.conference.dinner.conference.
sleep haha. It was kinda weird, it was like just the missionaries and like
12 others, pretty weak attendance. Kinda made me homesick, but it was good
and fast for sitting on wooden benches for 6 hours! Sunday was a bit better for
attendance! We had 7 of our investigators there! The last session a
huge rain storm came in and the satellite turned off for like 30
minutes!! It was pouring and got like super musty inside! We just sang hymns til it came back on, super
cool! I loved the talks! Conference went by sooo fast, it always seems like it
was so freaking slow!!... but that doesn’t mean I didn’t fall asleep... IT’S
tough!! We got fed three times
after! Guess what we ate all three houses?! Oh yah, rice and chicken. ha! So something bad
is happening. We see so many Japanese cars drive by, they are starting to look
nice! Haven’t seen a Chevy in weeks!! There is only Nissan,Toyota, Mitshibushi, and
Honda!! I have seen one dodge and a couple gmc’s, ha it’s terrible!! Everything that doesn’t do well in America comes
here and does awesome like: blackberries are like equivalent to iphones. All off brand products! America gets the good chicken, they get the
bones with little meat! Selfish! Haha,
it’s good though, I’m surviving!! I’m getting a gym pass this week cuz I’m
getting fatt! Our whole companionship blew out our tires this week, the
roads are terrible and where they are descent glass and garbage is everywhere! Still
haven’t received mail or anything.. but neither has anyone else! Elder Lacey
got a package this week! Guess you gotta declare everything, if you don’t, they
take it!! His mom didn’t declare an ipod and they stole it with some shoes!! That’s
about all I got. Off to lunch in hopes to try some ox tail today! Peace out love y'all !
