I am so tired of fast food. Being Executive Secretary, things are different. We eat pizza like 2 or three times a week, eat McDonalds or Wendy's all the time. I've started to bring in my lunch, but I feel so unhealthy. On top of all the bad food, there is hardly any exercise time. I get up extra early and go to bed later than normal. (For example, today I got up at 3:30, but I'll get to that.) I've already planned out for after the mission. I imagine that I'll be home for like 6 weeks before starting BYU again in June. I'll get home 30th of April and start summer semester for sure. Six weeks to get myself back in shape...more or less. We need to make sure we have Insanity at home because I will start it my first day back. If you wanted, you could start making a list of things to do my first day: get signed up for a gym.
Anyway, a missionary just got here to the field a week ago and had to return home (for medical problems). But, he was sent to one of the farthest places from the capital. He had to present himself in the airport at 7:40 in the morning. So my companion and I got up at 3:30 and left a little before 4:30 to go and get him and bring him all the way back in to the airport here in the capital. That was so early! I feel like I get more tired just sitting in a car than I do actually working and preaching the good word of God.
These past few weeks have been so hectic and upbeat, it's been hard to keep my head straight. Everything from President Brough leaving to President Markham coming to change meeting. Now, it's my moment to breathe. These past couple of days, I've put myself pilas here in the office so I am not stressed, I'm actually ahead of schedule. It feels nice. It lets me handle whatever kind of emergency that might come up--and in this mission, that often happens.
Right now, I appreciate church talks and what not. I'm right now reading Lectures on Faith that was written way back in 1835. It is some really good and has made me think of some really good stuff. I would appreciate maybe a mini collection of Teachings by Prophets books. If you wanted, you could have the one for Joseph Smith and Brigham Young out there waiting for me. Good Sunday afternoon reading material I'd say.
Wow, this week, I finished 14 months. I can't even believe it. The number of months remaining is getting so small so fast. Right now, it's like 9.5. That's under 10 months!? Honestly, I feel like I've forgotten how it will be to live in America again. Where things are clean and organized...and in English. I'll miss Spanish for sure. Since driving here in Guatemala, I've figured that I might cause a few wrecks back in the States. I won't get in the wreck, but here, if you don't drive aggressively, you don't drive. It's super fun, almost like a video game.
To help me with my emails here, y'all should ask questions. They'd help me know what to say and also help me remember what has been happening these past few days.
I love y'all. I pray for y'all. I make sure to use the word y'all as much as I can. My companion now says it. Go South!
