Washing Clothes
Family
It is sad to hear that 15 years
of elementary Halloween parades now come to an end.
Today is San Judas day. All of
the kids are firing of these bomb-like fireworks. hahah we are teaching a war
vet he says he wakes up to the explosions and he feels like he is back in the
war and within 5 seconds he is under his bed with his knife.
If I marry a girl from here she
would know how to handle a gun and ride a horse. A couple of years back there
was a woman here that walked around town with double holsters and was not
afraid to kill. She was faster than all the men on the draw so no one dared to
stand against her. Fun fact: The movie "the wild bunch" was
filmed here in Parras. The Texas man wanted me to get him a copy of the movie.
My incredible parents; thanks a bazillion
for the box!
I loved the articles you sent in
the box. I loved the paragraph in the one where he rejects the concept of a God
that puts billions of us in a world where a huge majority endure mainly pain
and sorrow.... punishing those who don’t believe in him (a majority of which
have never even heard of him) all without shedding a tear. When I read that
paragraph, I thought of Neal Maxwell’s quote: "there goes another
beautiful theory, murdered by a gang of facts."
Yes, so we didn’t have cambios.
My comp is still in his training so it will be probably in 4 weeks. This
time in Parras has been definitely my favorite part of the mission. My comp is
a stud. I’m super close with the D.L. Carson was in my zone so I have seen him
a bunch and parras is incredibly pretty. Also, I now understand how to
speak and do this work so that helps a bit =) ha.
We have been teaching a woman (and
her grandson) that reminds me of Nanny McPhee. We helped her paint her adress. She
still has some fire in her and she is pretty deadly with her cane.
I sent you a picture of me with
one of my favorite people here.
So, I learned this week that for
manual labor they make about a dollar an hour. when my comp heard the
usual pay of high school kids in the States, he was pretty shocked.
Wills letter was so great.
Chesire Cat:
Would you tell me, please, which way
I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"– so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
