[Michael's
latest update, titled "1 month!!! Letter to family!" -]
Hey...
Ive been here for one month today! Happy Birthday to Mom, Aunt Susan, and Abby
today!
I,
along with my companion, Elder Sands, have been made a Zone Leader and we are
scrambling to learn how to do our job in just the 2 weeks or so we have left!
I
just want to say that I love you guys and that im able to have something of a
conversation with the latinos here at the CCM [MTC ]! they know just about as much english as i know spanish!
OHHH
YEAH, ok so you all know how elder Sands and I were the only missionaries going
to Lima East in the entire CCM? well now there are 9 others going! and 8 of
them will be leaving with elder Sands and me. (They are in the two week program
because they can already speak espaƱol). the other is a new, 6 week missionary
from the USA!
Edler
Reed!
[When I asked him how he's doing, if he
has been sick, if his allergies have been bothering him, etc.]
"Ya ive been fine. the food hasnt once disagreed with me! Ive also got to
liking pescado [fish]! its just a way
to not eat only pollo [chicken]! ;)
my allergies are fine, ive really gotten used to the air here (although
pollution here is absolutely insane when im in the main part of the city!) and
ive not been taking my pills. ¡yo no recuerdo que les tengo! [I don't remember that I have them!]"
[When I asked him how he is sleeping,
and if he is sleepwalking at all] "i normally get into
bed at 1030pm and am asleep within 3 minutes or less (usually less) and wake up
at about 615... about 8 hours, but it will never be enough! i havent been
sleepwalking" [but he said he has heard of some of the hermanas [Sister
missionaries ] in his district
have been sleep talking (and one in spanish!!!) he said he's so jealous! Lol!]
[So,
he is doing well! Yay! Blessings!]
