Hello Family and friends,
A quote from my mission pres.
"I would
like to urge (everyone) to again read the Book of Mormon...There is nothing we
could do of greater importance than to have fortified in our individual lives
an unshakable conviction that Jesus is the Christ, the living Son of the living
God. And, my brothers and sisters, that is the purpose of the coming forth of
this remarkable and wonderful book." President Gordon B. Hinckley
So this week was
interesting and a little annoying. This week I got bit by a spider on my
arm, eaten by several mosquitos, attacked by a gardener snake in my apartment,
and attacked by two sort of small rat-dogs (dogs a little bigger than a
chuawa). Also, my comp tried to kill me for the second time since we have
been together.
So on Tuesday I woke
up with a kind of lumpish slightly swollen (but really small) bump on my arm
that itched and then later that night I got eaten by these freak’in giant
mosquitos!! I am not exaggerating either.
I killed one on our 3rd comps
head and it was at least the size of a nickel.
On Wednesday there
was a kind of severe rain storm and our 3rd comp opened up the back door to see
just how bad the rain was. Suddenly, a gardener snake shot into our
apartment. It was really confused and it curled up in the corner and opened its
mouth and was trying to bite us and it was hissing at us. Elder Millett grabbed
it and threw it outside.
Later that night he
was praying on my blankets when I was trying to make my bed to go to sleep and
I asked him to get off of my blankets so I could get to sleep. When
he wouldn't I pushed him to get off of my blanket and he got up and grabbed me
by the shirt and pushed me onto by bed and I whacked my head on the cement wall. He told me to never interrupt him praying
again, and didn't talk to me for the rest of the night. Later into the
next day he said he was sorry for trying to kill me again. He is on a lot of medication and has a
problem with anger. I will survive!
Thursday. We
saw a lady by the name of sister Kister (pronounced kee-ster) and she had a
little dog that was growling at us. She
smacked it a couple of times and the dog was quiet until we were going to leave
and the dog attacked my calf. It was trying to bite it but its mouth was too
small. I was about to kick it when sister K pulled on the leach and smacked it
a couple more times and it was quiet after that.
We have been
challenged to read the BoM and finish reading it by December. That means
reading 5 pages a day. It is going good so far. Best news is the
H’s are scheduled for baptism in a few weeks which is fantastic!!
and that is my week
Love Elder Vance
