I have very little time to write right now and so i am going to try to get all of the important details in.
I was transferred, I am now in San Blas, Nayarit.
It is hot and humid here, you can imagine how much i sweat doing my pushups in the morning. I set my record doing 607 pushups in half an hour last week on Saturday.
My companion is Elder Martinez, he is from Veracruz, Mexico and only has 1 transfer in the mission. My companion is younger and has less time in the mission than Nate. I am kinda training him, his trainer, Elder Webb has the same time in the mission as I do and he is now one of our zone leaders, and so I am going to finish training Elder Martinez. He is an awesome guy, he seems confident for a missionary who only has 1 transfer, but at the same time, not cocky.
We had district conference with the Wagner´s and it was awesome. Montze came to the saturday and Sunday sessions. President Wagner told us that all of us were in the pre earth life for at least 6,000 years, to more than 600,000 years.
District Conference in Guzman, Ben is in the very basck |
The branch president and his family are awesome. His wife is going to make me a cake because she asked me how old I thought she was and I said 35, she is 53. We ate with them yesterday, are writing in their ciber right now, and we wash our clothes here as well.
Several people yesterday told me that I speak spanish very well and they were also impressed with how much chile I ate. We have to go and eat now and hitch a ride to get there.
I am safe and sound, and Mom, so that you know, nothing has happened to me like what happened to Nate, you know I would have told you about it, I am not a small person, and rarely feel like I am in danger, knock on wood. I felt a little bit scared one time with E. Robertson and that was it.
I was able to say good bye to all of my buddies in Tuxpan, and me and Garcia really got along well, we just had 2 incidents, but i think in 6 weeks that is pretty good. I am safe and sound and looking forward to working here. Something funny that happened this morning was that, I guess one elder who left San Blas this transfer was saying good bye to an older sister in the branch and he told her, “pero no se preocupe, va a llegar un guero con ojos azules, y despues, ella le dijo, o entonces no le voy a extranar por mucho tiempo, haha.” Pretty funny, Mom can explain, sorry but I have got to go, Love you guys!
Love, Elder Jarvis
