How are you?? This week has been a toughy. The work is a little slow these days. We don't have very many people to teach right now, but we are turning things around. I love your emails they crack me up! And for another week our baptism didnt go through. Her stepdad is totally against the church and isn't willing to talk with anyone from the church. So there isn't much we can do but pray. And she turns 18 soon and can then maybe make her own decision. But other than that things have been okay.
The monkey I ate was deliciously disturbing. The meat was very tasty, but I felt as though I was eating human flesh. It is soo closly related to us, they look like us when they dont have any hair. It was an interesting experience, and also one that I will never be experiencing again.
I have not yet entered the jungle, but the day is coming. I hope. I am sending a few photos in an email. They are of me eating my monkey, one of Gio and I, and another of us trying to get coconuts. But things are going good.
We had a sad day yesterday, one of the mothers in our area left. Her man is a drunk and she left him for good. I dont know where, but she left behind two kids, and I miss her to death. I loved Zuster Gerda. I really did. She was like an aunt to me. I'm so sad, but so happy for her at the same time. She deserves better and I am glad that she is taking this step in her life. I wish her only the best. But other than that we dont have too much going on. We helped take care of some banana trees for a service activity. I have also eaten 2 or 3 large jungle rodents. And I had the most painful massage given to me by an investigator! But life is swell.
The church is true. Christ lives.
Love,
Elder Garcia
