Thank you so much for the Halloween package! We love it! And it's been really fortunate because just like my first week as a visa waiter, E. Novakovich didn't have his own food or money until today, so the packages with delicious food has been very useful for feeding all of us. Thank you so much! You were inspired! You got that little package that I sent you from the MTC right? I'm still planning on sending another package soon, but it's so hard to find time on p-days. Speaking of food, I have to thank Ricole for teaching me how to cook tortillas on a stove burner. For every breakfast and lunch that we have at the apartment, I cook up some tortillas and put either peanut butter or cottage cheese on them, depending on my mood. We found some honey in the apartment, but it's all gone now haha. Some members gave us some eggs from their farm so this week has been spiced up by some fried eggs in the morning. Other than that, we find junk food basically everywhere we go, especially with Hallowen being today. I'm being fattened up very very well here haha.
This week might be a very good and busy week. With E. Novakovich, we set some high goals for the week, and I really think they are possible. I don't know how we're going to accomplish them exactly, but for some reason, they feel very possible. I really hope E. Novakovich is with us for as long as possible, but at the same time, I know exactly how he feels and I'm sure he wants to go as soon as possible. We really need him this week though.
So here's a random note. We listen to the tabernacle choir all the time here. We play it in the car and in the portable dvd player in the apartment (the dvd player is given to all companionships to watch training segments and listen to approved music at approved times) and E. Ramos has about 9 tabernacle choir cd's now. I really honestly love MoTab (Mormon Tabernacle Choir) now. Maybe this is crazy, but I really think I'm going to listen to them regularly when I get back. Anyway, one of the cd's is a collection of famous songs from movies or musicals performed by the choir. One of them is called "The Impossible Dream" and it's from "The Man from La Mancha". It's an amazing song, you should look it up. Also, I developed a love for the primary song "A Child's Prayer". It's definitely cracked my top 5 songs list. I love it and I really feel like I relate to it now.
I wish I had more to tell you about that family I mentioned the other week, but it's been difficult. We should meet with them again this week. This weekend we are hoping to help two kids from a part-member family be baptized. But they've been really sick and we'll have to meet them a lot this week. Hopefully, I'll have good news next week about them.
Well how is everyone doing?? Those pictures of Ricole and Michael are awesome! You are so beautiful, Ricole! Man, it's still weird to think about haha. Two more months! But you were proably already aware of that... Mig, how was the band trip? In one of our ward's buildings, there is a picture of a youth camp out and there is this picture of a young man who reminded me of you. He was wearing a gray zip up sweatshirt just like the one you have, and he had glasses, and he had hair like yours, and other things, but anyway...Dad, how's the hunt been going? And Mom, how's the seminary class? Last week President And Sister Winn took some missionaries out to Ihop for breakfast and she asked every missionary there one question...What is the best thing that you've ever learned from a seminary teacher? Easiest question I've ever handled on my mission. Violet and Quinn, basically all of the area that we cover is either really old people or young couples. Everytime I see a young couple with a kid (or two) I think of you two. Congrats on the new apartment!
Familia, I love you all. Thank you for all of your support, all of the prayers. Fica forte.
Love,
E. Rogers
