howdy. the baptism didnt happen for the kids. after sacrament, a member ran over to their house to get the extra underwear they forgot to bring and the mom told him that she had changed her mind and they couldnt get baptized... yup yup. thats about it. im getting transferred on wednesday, going to huntington park. that area is 100% latin, which i dont know if im happy about that or not. ill finally get to speak spanish, but latins will never give you a straight answer.
for example:
1. Q. Are you interested in learning more?
A. solo hay un dios.
A. ya creo en dios.
A. lo que pasa es...
A. ya tengo mi biblia.
A. si, yo leo la biblia.
2. God called a prophet.
A. solo hay un dios.
A. ya creo en dios. A. lo que pasa es...
A. ya tengo mi biblia.
A. si, yo leo la biblia.
3. We are white.
A. solo hay un dios.
A. ya creo en dios.
A. lo que pasa es...
A. ya tengo mi biblia.
A. si, yo leo la biblia.
point being, you will never get a straight answer, while every other color (white, black, yellow) will just say no and to go away. more harsh, but much more welcome to hear than excuses. oh, and i will get to eat more latin food :)once again, my companion will be a green missionary, this one, elder tuttle, has only been out one transfer. im leaving here on wednesday so ima spend today packing. fun. ive got insiders who let me know on friday i was leaving, which is good to know so i dont have to cram pack everything until 1 in the morning the night before i leave. hope everyone in various parts of the mundo are safe. adios
p.s. as i was getting ready to send this, someone's laptop started talking, not very loud, but this dude that has been sitting here talking about nothing important just as loudly turned and self-righteously said "excuse me, sir? (as if he was mortally offended) you need to turn that down, this is a liberry." me, being the caustic wit i am, butted in with, "No, this is a libRARY, not liberry." then went on my work of typing this. ok bye.
