ear Family,
It is so good to hear from you! I miss y'all of you so
much.How are all y'all doing? I am doing doing good. This week hasn't
been to eventful but it has been very strange.
So my birthday was definitely interesting not to much happened but
we were on that day. That day we probably rode about 35 miles if not
more all around town to our appointments and what not. For lunch Elder
Wood made me me a huge pancake. I didn't really tell him when my
birthday was he just knew it was sometime this last week. And for dinner
we had a powerbar and gatorade. We were on the run and I didn't want to
stop. Unfortunately we didn't have too much success with our
investigators and rounding them up for church because none of them
showed. Its pretty heart breaking when that happens. My mail goes
straight to the Mission office and so the package you sent got there on
Friday and they couldn't forward it because it was Fed-ex but I will get
it on Friday because we have a zone conference. So no worries. I did get
a package from Lisa and her mom. It had gummy worms and a Toy Story
light. Do you know how I got her a Ken doll to be her boy friend. Well
she sent me a Barbie and made her all modest it was funny. Liz also sent
me a card that was super sweet of her. I have so many people I have to
write and part of the reason is I ran out of stamps and so I need to go
and buy some more. But my birthday was pretty good.
Yesterday we went to Saluda again and did some tracting. There are
so many Guatemalans down there. It is such a weird little town. I met
this crazy man and he is about 4'9" tall maybe shorter. The best
part.... he was drunk Guatemalan. He shook our hands like crazy. He
starred at a woman passing behind us and after she left. He said
beautiful women and made smooching sounds. It was hilarious. he then
gave me a hug. He said we were amigos. He just talked and talked and
talked. Then he shook my hand and kissed it this time like you would a
girls. Then We started talking about Jesus Christ and he broke out into
song about God and Jesus and prayer and using hand motions and getting
way into it. They we cheered him and he went off again. I was cracking
up so bad inside. I love this. I never get to meet people like this. It
sure is interesting out here.
I do love it here in South Carolina! I haven't heard about my visa
yet but I should can anytime next week and after that. I guess if you
are waiting for a visa they have you stay in that mission for at least 6
weeks so I don't know yet when I will get it. I will be a surprise. I am
going to be a little sad leaving this place with a washer and dryer and
a car and a bike and a Walmart. Haha ;) I am excited though to be fully
immersed in Spanish.
Well I have got to go but I love y'all so much. I am sorry I missed
father's day. I hope dad got my letter a few weeks ago. I sent is so I
would miss father's day. Well I hope he did and let him know that I was
thinking of him. You are always in my prayers. I miss y'all!
All y'all have a blessed week!
Love Y'all Forever and Always,
Elder Schroeder
