HEY Mom its your friendly
neighborhood Elder! I want to say I’m doing great and this work has me really busy,
haha. This week was really slow however. We worked with the other missionaries
this week because one area has 27 baptisms and they needed a lot help getting
them to church. So, all in all this week was really long.
Well as always want to start
with my investigators. First, I have to say I want to serve in the Young Men’s
program when I get home like my Dad, because I have a connection with boys 12 to
17 years of age. This week I met another boy named Steven. He is super cool and
he loves that I know so much about Mind Craft. Haha. That game is popular in a
3rd world country also, haha. We joke around a lot and he came to church with
me yesterday. Marcelo also said he would show him around at church so it was
cool because after Steven said he loved it and wanted to go to mutual and come
to church next week. So, I can’t wait to see what happens with Steven.
Also I don’t know if you
remember about an investigator named Marisol, but Marisol is a new member of
the church and her and her family have really grown, I think it’s because I’m
goofy that I can get the kids to listen. The sad thing with her and her family
is that her x-husband threw her out this week. She is now living with her dad
and it’s really sad. The thing that really sucks is that she is not in my area
anymore and we can’t see her or her family anymore.
About the
food... Ok when people told me we would eat a lot of rice and beans it was an
understatement. I have beans and rice everyday. But they cook the rice and
beans different. They called it GUYOPENTO and Mom I want you guys to make it
for family night, haha. Also I love the bananas. They fry the bananas, grill
bananas, smoke bananas, and anyway you can cook something you can also cook a
bananas that way. Also tell me if this is awesome, I might get to eat turtle,
haha. I am really excited. Everyone loves it here. Also I love this one drink
called Cocow its like a version of chocolate milk.
The people here are funny like
I said before they are very accepting. Anyways, we have some investigators that
are gay! There are so many gay men here it’s scary because they look totally
strait but when you start to teach them about the law of chastity it just comes
out! Weird right!?
Also what’s funny here is that
there are a lot of car crashes. And Mom don’t worry I’m fine. But one day we
were walking and we saw a car crash. Unlike in America the people just backed
up didn’t yell or scream and went on there way like nothing happened. I was shocked.
I told my companion if that happened In America a lot more stuff would have
happened!
Anyways that’s it for this
week. I want to say I love you and
please be safe ok.
Love, Elder Hironaka
