Hahaha... yep i´m getting better with the language but its still kicking my butt... haha
HEY EVERY BODY! so you had the fourth of july party without me... show´s how much you love me... oh sorry i cant make it to mow the lawn. i´m slightly busy... hahaha! oh! if you want to mail me anything just send it to the mission home address. the mailing system down here is kinda... non existant... haha! so yea just send it to the mission home and i´ll get it... eventually...
Well this week has definately been interesting... we have gotten a ton of people to listen to us, (when i say us i mean elder Leonon) and we´ve even set a couple baptismal dates. but it all seems pretty unsteady at the moment as to whether or not a lot of the people we have on date are really going to go through with it.
So its really been a culture shock down here. I kinda had to take a step back and breath for a little while because i was kinda freaking out for a little. just because its so much different down here. and i tell you what its been a test of my faith for this whole language thing. it really gave my mind a new perspective about things. life is so much different when you take away something that just seems so basic. meaning an easy way to communicate. its kinda funny that you mention gestures because thats what i´ve been doing all week to talk to people. its been a little frustrating at times, espesially cause i´m the only english speaker in my apartment, (we have 2 companionships where i live) so when we do lunch together and every one is laughing i sit there in a stuper... but i know i´ve only been here for two weeks. I have faith that it will eventually come. through christ, all things are possible
so funny story time. me and the other elders were sitting in the apartment at the end of the night and Elder Souza pulls out a nerf gun. then we get the idea of playing russian roulette with it. haha! it sounds terrible but we got it on video and its so funny watching eachother just about die while were waiting for the gun to be shot. haha! oh missionaries are ridiculous...
Anyway! all is well! i´m still happy healthy and clean. =) hope the parties and stuff have been going well and know that i´m always praying for you guys. Love you all and talk to you later!!!
Elder Cornwall
