I can't believe it. This is my very last email of the
mission. I legitimately remember my first p-day/emailing experience in the MTC
like it was yesterday... I think I actually remember more about it than I remember
about yesterday. Geez. I was so confused and had no idea what was happening and
there were a billion people and not many computers. But man. Now I feel like I
am going crazy.
I don't even know what to talk about. I can tell all of this
to you in person.
But V's baptism was SOOO amazing! It all went of fairly
smoothly, except he was complaining about how the water was cold (we didn't
know how to change the temperature). Also someone else made the program and
forgot to put the 2nd half of the program on there. But oh well. It was super
good. And his confirmation was of course wonderful as well! I like
confirmations better sometimes. They are just so amazing. The Spirit is so
strong when it is being given to someone. It was so powerful and it makes me so
happy knowing that he is now a member of the church. Ahhh.
Also, I had some... Interesting food yesterday. A member made us
this "Caldo de Marisco Especial," which basically consists of fake
krab meat, whole tilapia (head and tail and fins and all), clams, mussels,
octopus/squid, and various other mystery items. It didn't taste THAT bad, but
the family that made it refused to tell me what was in there. They were just
like, "Hermana! No importa! Solo disfrutelo." (Hermana! It doesn't matter!
Just enjoy it.) But what really worries me is what one of my Hispanic
companions said to the other when she thought I was too busy flipping out about
people's crazy driving and trying to avoid crashing, "Decimos a Hermana
Pratt lo que realmente comio?" (Should we tell Hermana Pratt what she
really ate?) Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I don't even want to know. Ugh.
Ummm....
I don't think I have anything else for now. Lastweek was mostly preparations for the baptism and stuff. This week will mostly be packing and saying goodbye and usual missionary work.
I guess I'll just send pictures for the rest of the time. I don't know what else to say. If I think of anything, I'll send another email.
"Caldo de Marisco Especial,"
