Hey!
Super jealous that you’re going to Carp for Thanksgiving.
That last time was fun when Diego realized his love for raccoons and had a
shirt made and everything!
We got new guys this past week!! The zone has been super empty,
for a while, but all the rooms in our hall our filled again and it’s freaking
fun. There’s two new districts and they both have my two favorite teachers,
Hermano Figueroa and Hermana Boza, nativos.
They call me Abuelo because I’ve literally been here
forever. I’m a legend here f'real. Like people come up to me occasionally and
ask if I’m Elder Green.
Anyways, it was our Branch President and his wife's last Sunday
this week, before they got released. The Doman's are awesome, I’m glad I’m
outta here soon too. I think I can say I’m their fav because I’ve been in their
last 4 departing districts. We had a meeting with them in the morning and for
the opening hymn we watched and sang along to that Emily Brown "I’m Trying
to Be Like Jesus" video I sent you. Then later I taught priesthood and we
did it again. We literally love that video so much. I’m playing it out loud in
the computer lab right now. It’s our zone video now. I showed it to all the new
classes and it is now a common thing to hear it coming from multiple classrooms
during study time.
Our new Branch President served in Sao Paulo and has only
ever been over Portuguese zones here, but he seems cool.
After church we always walk around the temple, and this time
me and some guys just went looking for hispanohablantes (Spanish speakers) to
practice our Spanish on, and I found two sisters going to Panama! They literally
thought they were alone here, like everyone that gets called there—haha-- so
they were super stoked. They’ve only been here a week so I won’t see them there
for a month…or two if they get lucky like me.
Monday morning the district I’ve been in peaced out which
was a bummer. They went to New York, Dallas, Redlands, San Jose, and
Bakersfield. So, that means I get to change rooms again! I’m moving in with
Elder Rogers and Farley who are dope and both going to Ecuador. This will be my
3rd room, 4th district, and 5th companionship since I’ve been here. But my ‘solo
sticker’ lets me do whatever I want so lately I’ve been bouncin around to
whichever district has study time or wants me to go teach a lesson with them.
Also Carrie is my favorite aunt. She sent me a box of 12
different types of Clif Bars this week. Literally opened it a little after
looking at a picture of the Clif Bars that were stolen by seagulls on Catalina
this summer. Literally it’s a miracle that Scotty, SCODE, and I are alive.
I’m gonna pack early and just wear the same outfit for a
week so I’ll be ready.
Love y’all.
PEACE
Elder Green
