hola mi familia y mis amigos,
there has been a lot happening
around here over the last week. sunday our disrict leader (DL) was sick
so i got to fill in for him in all of his meetings and everthing. it
actually wasn't too bad. for our service projects saturday night and
tuesday night we set up all the chairs for the 2100 of us who will
attend the firesides and devotionals. we have the system down and it
takes us about 45 minutes to set everything up.
also mom, my companion is going to oaxaca too and there are 6 of us in
the deistrict that are going there. it is going to be awesome. there
are two others going to cuaranevaca, mex and 4 going to lima, peru,
which they are leaving for the mtc in lima on wednesday. one of the
elders going down to peru is from soda springs and all of us decided
that we are going to stay in touch and have district reunions when we
all come back. darek (elder jentzsch) is leaving in a couple weeks for
bucharest, romania. tell david that when he is famous i want a ride in a
helicopter too. also, i can't believe dad would do that to poor
innocent dave. actually, now you know where we get it from. also, i
think it WAS you that taught that to caleb. you can't trick him... i
don't need my coat yet, but it is actually staying pretty nice. thanks
for getting me those addresses. when it rains down here, i kinda get
homesick
because it smells remarkably like rain in idaho, but i will get through
it. so how are the guys doing in school? has matt been going on any
other dates? dave and jake are probably still getting striaght a's.
also thank you so much grandma and grandpa child for that package. i
didn't even share the cookies...and dad you need some more practice on
your brownies (chocolate twinkies). haha but really though i think that
that has made the biggest difference in everything, like contact with
the outside world. oh and there have been 2 elders in our district that
got the flu and one that has the h1n1 virus. so all of us had to go to
the health clinic today and get a box of pills, just in case. also,
and this will comfort you mom, oaxaca is where the swine flu started
haha but what can go wrong if you have the Lord on your side. well my
time is up so i better go. The Church is true, the book is blue, see
you
in 2!!!
i love you sooooo much, hahaha
love,
elder benjamin dale child
p.s. keep sending zack and caleb's drawings/creations...i have them taped to the wall haha
LOVE YOU!!!
