Hello Family!
Well our P-days got changed from Mondays to Saturdays because we are in Villahermosa right now and they have there Pdays on Saturdays because they have to be in the office from Monday until Friday! So expect emails to come on Saturdays now.
But anyways, Not much has happened since I last wrote. Elder Hausmann, who is my compañero afligido ahorita (sick companion right now), and I are doing pretty well I guess. We are helping out in the office with whatever needs to be done and other than that we are confined to the apartment to study and rest and what not. I am still nursing my knee and doing things to try and make it better.
I actually was able to go out with Elder Cruz, one elder who we are staying with, and teach a less active this morning. And that was real good..Hermano Julio is his name and he is a great guy. He has been inactive for 14 years but is now wanting to come back in to the church and attend every week! So we taught today about the importance of church attendance and then reading the scriptures. I shared the classic D&C 50 9-10 verse with him that says we can be unspotted from the world and my Spanish was pretty good. We talked about how attending church is an opportunity to get away from the world, to get away from the things of the world and to be able to partake of the sacrament and start new every week. It was real good.
Other than that I got a haircut today, and everyday we are able to eat with families here in Villahermosa and its been wonderful to get to know them and eat the food which always includes tortillas and apple juice soda haha ...Lunch is the main meal here, there isn't really any other meals so lunch is it and you cant have it without tortillas and apple juice soda. But its great!
I hope you had a great day on Tuesday Meg! :) Hopefully you had a wonderful B-day and that your game went well! I was thinking about you and was hoping you put up big numbers ! Haha or even just a sweet assist for me would've been great :) But I really hope it went well not too long before you'll be driving! That's so crazy I remember when you were 6 and would follow me and my friends around in Texas and school all of us. But now your 16! Wow! Hopefully you had a good day and are tearing it up on the court, I would do anything to see you play! You and Kenzer! I love you both! And Jeffrey and Marina! And the whole family! :) Thank you for all your love and support!
Anyways I hope all is well wherever you are and hope you have a great week! I am sorry I don't have photos for you I am still waiting on my battery charger from Elder Alvarez!
Love you all so much,
Elder Jordan Eliason
