I haven't gotten any emails from new people these days. I've just been sticking with the same old people that i've been with for the last 17 months. It would be nice to receive emails from new people! (His email is harold.hunt@myldsmail.net)
So, there's a nice little story for this week. It's fun to play soccer here on our free days with some of the youth from the ward. We have a good time and it's nice to play soccer. When we play, everybody kinda has rotations playing different positions. At this moment, it was my turn to play goalie. woo! When I play, my volleyball reflexes come into action. I don't usually catch the ball, I just kind of deflect it high and controlled, then catch it. But it got to a play that was serious. It was like 3 against me. They were all super close to the goal. A guy on my left, the middle, and the right. The guy on the right shot it and i blocked it, but i fell to my knees and the ball went right to the middle guy. He kicked it, and some how, i blocked it again. This time, it bounced like two feet from me. It bounced like two feet from the guy on my left too. He wound up to kick it, i sprang over to grab it. Next thing you know, his foot makes contact with my hand. Out of the pain caused, i grab my right hand with my left. (right hand being hurt.). I thought my hand would be straight, but i felt something a little weird. You know how on your finger, you have three joints. Well, on my right index finger, at the second joint, my finger went straight up. Yup, dislocated finger right there. Without even thinking because I wanted to prevent further pain, I threw it quickly back into place. It was great! A dislocated finger while playing some friendly soccer. Just add that to the list of soccer injuries in my life!
But don't worry about me, it doesn't affect me too much. Really, it just makes it a little hard to write.
This week has been crazy. Today, I felt super important. I had a meeting in the Area Office about immigration stuff! It was weird to say that I had a meeting at 11 in the Area Office. Really, it wasn't anything exciting or new, but still- as a missionary, it was cool to say.
I have been receiving so much free food lately! It's the best. I love how Guatemalans show their love for you by giving you food. I know it's a great sign of love because these people don't normally have much. Guatemalans are just so cute. I have Domino's, pancakes, chuchitos, ham and vegetables, cookies, etc. I go home at night, plan, and just go to sleep. I don't need to cook dinner and it's such a treat to get a full night's sleep every now and again.
Sorry, this email is really short. It's just that next week we have changes. That means everything is hectic and so busy. I'll be getting a new companion. I kinda know who he is but not really. Next week, i'll write with more information and maybe even a picture. It'll be fun.
The mission is a blast! Next week, the sister missionaries that entered the mission with me will be going home! That's crazy to think about. In two months, i'll be skyping home. in 4 months, Ben will be going home. in 6 months, i'll be home. There's too much to do before this time rolls around! Good thing, that way it won't distract me.
I hope y'all are safe and enjoying the cooler temperatures to come. I'm super comfortable here in Guatemala....still sweating and it never gets cold enough not to sweat. Besides a dislocated finger, I've never been better!
Love y'all!!
