This week was alright. We didn't actually have a setback bc of his visa
bc we did that on Monday but we did have one this weekend haha. Friday I
woke up with a fever and bc it had been so long since I had one I was
just like "eeh my body just hurts bc I slept weird" and "I'm hot bc it's
Africa." So we were at the apartment Friday and Saturday which I feel
sooooo bad about. We had people to visit but I seriously couldn't move
and couldn't eat anything bc the minute it touched my mouth I felt like
vomiting. Dassa is going good though. We did exchanges this week with
the district here. I did one with the new missionary, he's really smart
and can make phrases but when he is listening he says his mind tries to
get every word. So we worked on focusing on the little things he
understands and it seemed to help him out a lot.
I
didn't even know how many days I had left haha. That's weird to think
about... such a little amount of time. Honestly for me I know that's
going to fly by faster than I want it to. I honestly just want to give
whatever my body has left into my time here. Some days I wonder if I
have the energy to even continue but there's always some left and the
the Lord doubles it so I'm still going haha. I do and don't feel ready
to come home. It's weird, like I feel like when I come home I will come
home and then be like "nope just kidding take me back" kinda thing. When
I get home I want to find a job as soon as I can and then also find a
car to get to said job haha. I want to start life rather than just sit
and do nothing until college starts. Honestly I have no idea for the
moment how you could help haha. If you have any ideas maybe you could
let me know? I know that I am going to need help with buying a car
though. That is something I know basically nothing about and I know that
you and Tyler have a lot more experience with that than I do.
It
sounds like there's a lot of good things happening right now. It's
super weird to me that B is going to be 15 and that she's finally done
with middle school. Has she already signed up for classes for next year
or is that later on in the year?? Kaitlyn sent me pictures that got
taken when she got engaged. The diamond is a lot bigger than I thought
it was going to be not going to lie. Even after you sending those pics I
thought it was a little smaller haha. She's happy though and that's
what's important.
I am
planning to head down to UVU. I don't know if its going to be with one
of the Elders here but I also have friends (like Davin and Josh and
Michael) who will be down in the Provo area so we'll see kinda thing.
And dating yes, I have thought about that. Honestly it scares me bc ya
know... I didn't do much of that in high school but I'm also not the
same human. Marriage is definitely something and especially in the
temple. It'll be weird to go to Kaitlyn's wedding and to see that bc
I've never been to any wedding where I could enter into the temple. And
qualities... that's a list for sure haha. I am planning on going and
meeting lors of people in college and seeing where it is that the Lord
wants me and needs me to be.
What
kind of store has Tyler been building? That would be something really
interesting I'd think. Cookies for you makes sense but what would he
do?? And how is he doing? Is he adapting a little bit to the medication
and the slowing down?? I could imagine that that could be something
really difficult at first.
I
think that's its funny she like The Weekend haha. You should send me a
picture if you have one of the cake. I never thought that he would be
someone that she would listen to but if she likes it then that's good.
It's better than a lot of other pop artists today. Brutal winter is good
though for the moisture, Lehi was right when he said that there must be
opposition in all things haha. Lots of snow is not fun buuuuut it is
good for water.
Hopefully
we should be able to talk on Monday. These past few weeks have been
weird ngl. My comp lost my sim card so I haven't had any way to call
really and then we were travelling and yeah. I should be able to chat
even if it is just by messaging though.
Thanks
so much mom for the email! I sure love you guys lots and am excited to
see what will come from these next few months. I hope your Sunday has
been going good and that church was good too.
Love ya,
Elder Garcia
