Harry going to Argentina!!!!???? What the freak? Soooo stoked for him hahahahahahahah thats legit.
Anyways these last few days have been really good. We had like 40 less active lessons. Oh, and this morning I caught a beast fish.
I was fishing off some rocks next to the church and I saw a big ol one that I almost caught three weeks ago. Its mouth is too small to bite the hook but it was very persistent in eating the bait so I lured it really close to the rocks, found a cane pole floating in the water, then stabbed it super hard in the face. And the stick broke. But the fish was super confused and not moving so I jumped in (like waist deep water) and grabbed it with my hands. Wow what a thrill it is to grab large fish with your hands. So we just ate that for lunch.
And when I was gutting it in the water by some other rocks, an eel totally came over and started biting it, so I stabbed that with a knife but that got away. Wow what a bummer it is to lose yet another eel.
Lesson from this is, if you're going to stab something, stab it super hard and then grab it before it gets away.
I also bought a dope little wood stove this week which I cook all my fish on.
To answer your questions, yeah I'm pretty excited to meat the new mission president. I'll definately miss Presidente Carmack because he's been awesome and I've gotten to know him pretty well.
I teach institute in spanish but people respond in Dule a lot haha and I have learned a lot. About 10 or so people show up, usually, but I think we could get more after this week.
The ward is super cool. It's not crazy like it was in Tikantiki and we're getting more and more people every week. We also do all the secretary stuff. I dont know how but Broadhead does, so we do all the tithing and are trying to update all the names in the church system because there's like five 120 year old guys still on that.
Most of our day is just doing laps around the pueblo, if there's a house we haven't visited in a few days, I'll just walk in and start talking to them then make it a lesson haha. I could probably walk into someone's house and fall asleep in their hammock here and they would think it was normal.
Some days we'll have a full morning of doing service stuff. Mostly chopping down platano trees and throwing them in the ocean.
We had an awesome lesson with this one lady, this week, who doesn't speak any spanish. And this is how I learned the gift of tongues works on Dule as well, because like half the things I said were in that. They were mostly the simple conversational things but it was dope.
Lesson from this week is that you can learn something from every chapter in the Book of Mormon. Despite 4 years of seminary and 7 months in the mission, I still can't think of any scriptures off the top of my head, so what i'll do in a lesson is hand the book to someone and tell them to open up to a random page. Then I look for something in that to talk about. And it has not failed me yet.
Hopefully this internet lasts until next week. But that's its for now.
Love y'all
