Wow, it's
so good to be able to write to you all today! It's a real blessing to be able
to do it. So, let's get cracking to the stories! 😎
So, I
will start with transfers! I am staying!!!!! Yep, I will "kill" Elder
Salazar in the mission meaning that I will be his last companion before he goes
home. That means that I will probably train but you never know. There are
always exceptions. Our district was me and Elder Salazar in Marratxi, Elder
Holbrook and Elder Jacobson in Manacor, and Elder Rathke and Elder Molina in
Inca with Elder Molina as Disctrict leader.
Now it
will be Me and Elder Salazar with my companion as District leader, Elder Holbrook
will be training in his area, and Elder Rathke and Elder Rodriguez in Inca.
Elder Rodriguez is in my group and we get along really well. I am what they
call the "District Monkey"
because my companion is the District Leader so I will be doing a lot of exchanges.
I basically have one a week. Lol. But that's okay because I am excited to learn
even more! Hahaha!
Today we
traveled around the city a lot. We went to a store called Tiger and I got a new
transfer journal. It will be a lot
neater now. We went to Llao Llao again. I got myself a member card for free so
now I can save points and get some ice-cream for FREE!!! I'm super
excited. 🍦🍦🍦🍦
We ate at
Burger King today and talked with all the people there. Basically, every
companionship changed except for mine, so the whole zone is getting new
missionaries while we stay the same.
This past
week we had the “funeral” for Elder Jacobson. It was super good. When a
missionary goes home, the District usually does a funeral for that missionary
because he is "dying" in the mission. It was super fun and we
wrapped him up and we had a little funeral where we all talked about him. I
almost got a napkin set on fire that was in my hands because it was by the
candles that we lit. Hahaha. Oops.
Yesterday,
we all got together with the youth and young adults to write in each other’s
transfers journal. I love being with them because it's so fun. We got ice-cream
and were by the cathedral writing our letters. It was a fun time. This past
Friday we had a World Cup activity with the branches. We got our faces painted
with the flags from where we are from. So yep, I got the American flag painted
on my face, and the red paint didn't come off as easily as the other colors and
it stayed on me for a bit longer, lol. But it was a great activity! A lot of
people and good food!
There
were two baptisms that occurred this past Sunday. They were so prepared and are
going to be great members and contributors to Zion. It truly is a blessing to
be able to watch baptisms for the Lord. It really is.
Answers to
questions...
Have you received any
mail or packages yet?
I have
not gotten any mail yet, but I should next week when Zone Co Reece happens.
Since it is in a Monday, preparation day with be on Tuesday again.
Since the next milestone
is where you burn pants, can you find a thrift store to buy some inexpensive
pants to burn?
I'm
actually going to buy a new suit since we are in the same season. I saw a nice
suit jacket for $20 that was originally $80-100. But I also have to plan
to find pants that I will burn as well.
How are you doing on
contact lenses and solution?
Contacts
and lens solution is good. Another bottle would keep me set for a while since I
don't want to have to run out and not have any, but I can actually just buy
some in a pharmacy so no problem there.
Are you using mouthwash
regularly?
I believe
I can job at some mouth wash here. I will get some tomorrow actually.
Can you explain to us
what you do during siesta time?
In my
siesta time, we have one hour to eat and one hour for language study, then we
get right back out and work! The kingdom of God never stops.
The World
Cup is happening right now and it's super crazy. We can see it sometimes when
we pass by a bar every once in a while. And when Spain scores, everyone freaks
out and starts screaming, it's only natural though. But when it happens, you
know about it. ⚽️
Well that's
it for this week! I love you all super much, thank you for the emails! They
make my Day! Keep the faith!
Love
Elder Maybury
