Disappointing Week

Dear Family,

It was a little disappointing of a week because 5 baptismal dates fell through because Sister Orellano said she couldn’t come to church because her pastora from the other church she goes to is angry with her for going to our church and she has that “commitment” to go to the other church and she doesn’t seem to understand the Restoration after all… and Brother Orellano was drunk… and if the parents go, the kids go too.  We also lost another one because Brother Alejandro got called in to work… and so now of course the Zone Leaders are asking us to baptize him Sunday, but we’ll see.

Emancipated Minor

Hey peeps,
I’ll just start by answering your questions.
Remind us again what your monthly budget is. Does rent come out of that amount, or is that taken care of by the mission?
125.00 roughly 4 dollars a day. Currently I’m down to 10 for the rest of the month. We’ll see how it goes. Rent gets paid by the mission office, and we have a separate card we use for gas.

The Really Big Beach

Questions First
Do people usually stay in Belize until they go home, or is it possible you will get sent back to El Salvador?  Yes, I will go back to El Salvador at least to have the last hoopla dinner before we go home.  I actually found out today that there aren’t transfers in March, so I think I’m going home at the end of February after all…  I should probably ask President, but I don’t wanna sound like I’m baggy…  There is a slight chance I might go back to train in El Salvador, but it’s very likely I will finish my mission in Belize because of the paperwork that goes into getting people here they usually plan to keep us here a while.

Halo!

To all the people I used to know.

OK, well my birthday was a success. I got three different kinds of cake, and I got pizza with my favorite senior couple! Your package did get here on time so THANKS! I also got a little something something from Angie, and Aunt Rosie. The day after I wore the skirt mom sent and earrings from Angie, and I was going to take a photo, but then… I didn’t. My birthday really was great, and it was really sweet because Hna Noble was really worried about it being awesome. All week I got away with just about everything, because it was my birthday. All week. She’s also the one who set up the dinner with the Livingstons. We also had a miracle that day and we’re able to get two new investigators… actually, it was a miracle week because we found 10. Yesss. There’s soo many Spanish speakers in this area it’s crazy. I could go tracting and it would be effective. I’m not even kidding right now.  Continue reading “Halo!”
