Oh, funny happening

Ha, I didn`t even realize that it`s memorial day weekend.

Well this week we had interviews with the president, as well as his wife (more of a conversation about what we learned from Elder Bednar) as well as some teaching practice with the asistants. As usual, I enjoyed it. The President has prescribed me peanuts to help improve my personal study in the mornings. Yeah, don`t ask.

Victor, an older gentleman who works in construction (but is so talented he makes cement an art) was baptized on saturday, and he and Claudia were confirmed on Sunday. It was a very special and reverent baptismal service.

Transfers are also next week...let`s see what happens now that I will have 4 transfers in the mission field (7.5 months overall, if you want to count it that way). The whole country is also super geared up for the world cup.

Oh, funny happening. Last monday, Mexico played a game against England. They lost 3-1, and everyone here was heartbroken or angry. I only realized later that I changed out of my t-shirt with the british flag on it just before the game ended up starting. I think if I hadn`t, I might have been lynched O_O It`ll be interesting to see what happens if the US and Mexico play each other in the world cup. If worst comes to worst, I can at least pretend to be from Argentina or Spain. The most interesting part is having a friend in the mission (Tyler McCombs!!) in South Africa. Things must be fun over there right now.

I`ve got a question or two for you now: What do you imagine I`m like as a missionary...or in other works, what sort of missionary do you think I am? and what sort of person do you see me as when I come back?

Thank you for the poem-story, it`s very true. We`re working a lot to unite the ward and get a ward mission plan in place...and I think next week there might finally be home teaching assignments! Ooh how exciting, huh?

Well anyways, it`s time to take off. Thank you for everything, and enjoy your time with dad if he gets to stop by before leaving.

Love,
Elder Lund
