Okay, first things first because that is probably all we are going to have time for. I just barely got done moving and worst/best of all, dealing with our cranky landlords and their cronies. More on that in a moment. There are bigger fish to fry right now.
Like the following fish (I don’t know how this earned a fish theme, but sometimes that’s just the way the cookie crumbles):
“Speaking of El Prado. I will begin to work on plans for our trip next month. You should let me know if there are places in Spain you want to go to that should be included.” - Maria Carr
Either I read this all wrong or you are actually going to try to eldernap me. Well, to be honest, I think I understand it now that I have posted it over. Oh. That’s a bit embarrassing. You are going to begin planning next month… Youre not actually taking your trip next month. Gotcha. You gave me quite a fright. Its too early to plan that stuff anyway. You make a list of stuff you want to see, I will add and edit.
I love my ESL mother.
Some may ask why I didn’t just erase that to save face. Well, I have absolutely no time and am about to become a disobedient missionary for the day just to satisfy my Cubriarch… Its okay though, president is really happy with us right now and I think this is the only chance we will get. Others of you may now be asking why I am continuing to comment on this strange interjection. I would include myself within that group of people.
We have not done anything today other than move. The only change was when we went to our piso at night to meed our landlady, who actually turned out to be our landlady, her husband, and her lawyer son. Last night we had planned to meet them so we could work today, but she called us, screaming and yelling, that she refused to meet at the time we had settled on because she wanted to meet at her own time. Apparently we are breaking our contract and leaving the piso 6 months early due to the drop in missionaries from 120 to 66. The thing is, we have had this piso (I will keep saying piso because it is shorter to type than apartment) for 16 years and have payed them almost a quarter of a million dollars. You’d think that 6 months would not be that big of a deal. Well, it was. I had to hold back a lot on the phone, but succeeded. I called up Elder Thompson, the senior missionary in charge and he gave me a little lesson on Pundonor (sp?). Very interesting stuff. Apparently people of latin decent have been proven to show a bit of pride in situations where a loss is at stake. Explains a lot about my life. But anyways, he told me that I needed to do my best to be an angel and try to get them to show some kindness. As he said, they could hold our hands over the fire if they wanted to, but we will try to get out clean. So I went ahead and called her back and asked her if there was anything she would like us to bring or have ready and thanked her for being so willing to meet. I kind of took her aback which might explain why she brought her family reinforcements. It was a blast. I may not be the best scripture guru or golden child, but I love things kinds of situations because I feel like I was made for them. They came in hating us. They were screaming about all the things that were wrong and somehow by the end we were all just chatting like best friends. I even got to bear my testimony to them when they were asking why I came out here. They said they were still going to fight it out with Thompson, but they said that they would thank him for having attended them so well by having us there. It is really cool how the strengths and weaknesses of every inch of my life have all been pushed to their extremes and beyond. I have found out so much more about myself while trying to forget myself. To be honest, I haven’t changed much, but I didn’t come here to change, I came to grow.
Alright, I really gotta run.
Sorry sorry sorry,
Love you love you love you,
Elder Sky
Tell Jason he is nuts.
Tell Graham to go watch some highlights of the Soccer game last Saturday (I think) between Real Madrid and Bilbao (Atleti… not sure). The goalie was nuts, he pulled a huge upset.
Digale a Mamina que ella tiene Tumbao… al mejor no me entenderá, pero voy a estar sonriendo toda la semana por causa de eso.
