Yes I have heard about the flu,
but that’s all I have heard about it, that it exists. It is so strange how much
you do not know about the world when you are on the mission. It reminds me of
how "We are in the world, but not of it". It was like that too in the
MTC. I have not gotten any mail of any kind (except emails). I am sure it will
get here soon. Don’t worry. We went down
to Reu for a training meeting the same day the mission leaders were going to
get the mail, but the mail people said to get it the next day. So, the mail may
very well be here, but I just have to wait until someone from our district goes
back to Reu and picks up the mail for us. We had another p-noche last night. It
is basically the best (worst) idea ever. Basically you go over to another missionary’s
house the day before your P-day once the day is over and stay the night playing
games, talking, and other things that missionaries do. There are never enough
beds so you have to get pretty creative with sleeping arrangements and you stay
up way too late. It is pretty great. It rained a lot this week, which is weird.
People in the mission are saying it is because El Salvador is having an
hurricane. This transfer has flown by. We are already on the last week. ¡Oh! Fun
fact. I got attacked by my first animal this week. Don’t worry I am fine... it
was a goose. An evil goose might I add. We were contacting and this goose
raised its head up all the day and started to hiss at us (I didn’t know they
could do that, I guess you just learn a lot on your mission). It then got super
low, pointed its head at me, and charged. It lunged at me but I kicked it just
in time. My companion then proceeded to hit it with a tree branch, but it didn’t
effect it at all. It just kept circling us and hissing. I also went on splits
again with my district leader. I like going with him because we usually plan a
pretty good day for him and I love the way he teaches. We also went to chop
wood, which I am really bad at, but I hope I will have the next few months to
practice so I can help my investigators, especially next year during the
winter. Well, I love you, I don’t have pictures again this week. I always
forget to take them.
Love, Bret
