Hello Family and Friends
I´m here! Hahahaha. Lol. I´m going to go ahead and answer all of your questions in this group email. So... here are frequently asked questions:
What area are you in? My area is close to a city called Sullana. My area is called Ingnacion Escurdido. It is basically just all of the rice farming towns, so there are rice fields everywhere.
How is your companion? My companion is number one. His name is Elder Vasquez and he is from Chile. He is Latino me. He sings Be Still My Soul (in broken English) constantly. He is extremely patient and is easily the nicest person Ive ever met. Also every morning he and I going running through said rice fields.
How is your Spanish? Lol. When it is essential that I understand something in order to teach the Gospel my Spanish is flawless. I can speak and understand perfectly. However, If what I want to say or understand is not imperative to the work of salvation, I usually have to rely on my own knowledge. In other words... I am AWFUL when Im not teaching the gospel.
How are the people? Superb. I love them all. Even if the majority of people with teeth is me.
How is the food? I live in a rice field town so it's pretty ricey. But also rico (delicious).
Do you shower with a bucket? You bet your bottom dollar I do.
Is the chapel also your house? Yes. One room is the chapel, one room is the primary room, and one room is our room.
Did you have to give a talk this Sunday? Of course.
Are you still blessing the animals in Peru with you Snow White capabilities? Obviously, but from a distance because 95% of them probably have rabies. Also barn owls are everywhere here.
Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse? Yeah my first time was yesterday night.
Do you ride in a 5 passenger taxi car with 10 other people? Always, and most of the time on the wrong side of the road because our driver wants to pass all the motorcylces.
Well I hope this email answered all of your questions. My mission is number one. Everyone here is so prepared. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed because there is so much teaching to be done and I can't do it all with my broken Spanish. This Gospel is so great and I am so thankful to be teaching it. Thanks for all of the support and love. Everyone watch conference this weekend and be thankful that you can watch in your very own house!
Love,
Elder Meier
