So tell me how hard you made your companion work this week.
Well I took him to the end of the area to get the juice and he survived, I was
able to get 4 bottles of concentrate!
Have you found any new people to teach? Not really just
kinda working with what we have but its going slow
How are those cute little kids you always have great photos
of? They are good, always running around and doing whatever
Are you getting enough to eat and have you been back to get
more naranjilla juice? Yes and yes
I looked that fruit up online and saw one cut crossed
section. Its a pretty fruit and looks yummy
Are mangoes coming into season? Mangoes are in season but
nobody sells them pre cut and it’s not fun to cut them yourself
Will your little branches have a way to listen or watch
general conference?
Yes the church gets cattle trucks and takes all the people
down to Senahu where we get it through satellite
Do they
translate that into Kekchi? Yes they do
So yeah this was my second week with my comp out in Yalijux,
it went pretty good. My comp is trying to learn Kekchi but its hard obviously. Your
first change out here you normally don’t get anything, not until your second
change. So yeah it’s weird being the one doing all the talking.
Lets see...
Tuesday a member moved his house to a different place and we tried to help but
by the time we got there they were almost done. But the next day we went out to
get the juice and also when we made it back there was a party at the members
new house so we went and ate and left.
Also when we were out getting the juice
there was a returned missionary at the hotel with his wife and he told me he
was here at the same time as Logan Henderson. I forgot his name but his Kekchi
name was laj hix (lock hish) the tiger.
This week I did alot of showing the
area to my comp so he knows all the members houses and different paths that I
know so when I leave he isn’t completely screwed. The members LOVE visits from
the missionaries so they all liked that. Haha speaking of visiting members
there is one family that we always get along well with and my comp really
wanted to try caldo from Yalijux... but people had only been giving us tortilla
and chili. So I told him how to say I’m hungry is there caldo and when we got to
the house that’s all he said cause he couldn’t say anything else and there was
caldo so we ate caldo. Caldo is basically meat (cow, pig, duck, or chicken)
boiled in water and the broth is like a soup with meat, normally very spicy. Haha now that we are talking about food, also at another house the members
asked me if I eat chili and I said yes and they were like are you sure its a
very spicy kind and I still said yes. Then I asked my comp and he said no so
only I had some, about a cereal bowl half full. And it was super spicy even for
me and then I convinced my comp to take a bite and he was dieing and the
members though it was funny and so did I haha.
Well I got all the corte dresses and shirts bought and
everything, do you want them shipped home or should I bring them in my bags?
So yeah everything is good. I can’t believe I only have 4
weeks left. It’s awesome but sucks at the same time.
So here are my pictures
