Dear Family,
I am quite glad that all is good in the livable forest. And
way to go to Jake for taking with him the best dance partying representative of
the Greene family. So he surely must have had a great time. Dad, I hope you
complimented Carson on his scouting pants, because everyone knows if you’re going
to be an eagle scout you got to represent the entire look. Sadly he could not
represent well from the knees down to the feet (Lacks tube socks).
So things are getting exciting here. They officially kicked
me out of Recreo and put in a new city called Rafaela. Now I have no idea if
that name has any relation with the wife of the ninja turtle Rafael. But we can
continue to believe so. But it is definitely one of the most beautiful and
Richest cities I’ve worked in. well of the 3 I have worked in. Which means
we´ll be racking in the tithing down here in Rafael.
That’s not the only exciting news. There is more. After 15
Months of waiting, they have rightly reunited the MTC power companionship,
couple, whatever you want to call it. Together again. Elder Hopkins is my
companion and we are going to show Rafaela what is life.
It was very sad to leave Recreo, and I grown attached to
city and, people, the cows, wheat, dirt streets, old guys, and the one light
post. It will be missed. But I greatly appreciated that I had a bit of time to visit
some families to say goodbye.
Before I left, a boy name Naitan Ramirez was baptized. He is
an investigator with the sister missionaries, and he’s been coming to church
for quite some time and his parents recently allowed him to be baptized. It was
a great experience for this boy. And it was cool because a bunch of his family
came to the baptism who originally were all were pretty against the church. I think
they just had to get a little push with a chocolate cake incentive.
I recently have gotten into building soundproof rooms, so
the bands of Recreo can freely play music without being disturbed or disturbing
the outside world. A member asked us to come over because he needed some very important
help. And that Important help was building Recreo´s new soundproof room. Apparently
we were worthy for the job, and I proudly accepted. We also got into building
roofs. It’s really funny when we ask people if they need help, or if we can
help them with something. Because they either say, "We need money" or
"Build me a part of my house." I accept as long as they provide the
parts. But it’s fantastic how dangerous the way people construct houses. Don’t
worry I don’t get into dangerous situations. But when they are building houses
here, everyone is climbing on anything to get to high places while throwing
brick up to the second floor. For example I was helping this man named Lalo while
he was using a drill to place screws in the roof, but he was standing on 5
stacked objects to get to the roof. Cool.
So yesterday, I got to Rafaela and I had some time to meet a
family in their family home evening. Apparently we were the first missionaries
to ever eat in their house. And they are a super fun family. The mom was born a
member, and the dad recently was baptized about 6 months ago. I soon began to
learn that this entire family are fanatics about video games, and I realized
that about 10 minutes after I got there and the dad asked me,
"hey....(then looking into my eyes all seriously) do you play
videogames?" And so I responded well with, "Obviously." And that
just got these beautiful fellas wild up. This dad, his name is Maxi, was a
total crackup about it, he was just talking to me about everything and anything
about video games. My companion was actually in the middle of sharing a
scripture when Maxi whispers to me (because he’s right next to me) asking for
my opinion on a certain game. I was like dude we are teaching a lesson. He’s a
character, the whole family is very enjoyable.
But so far I like Rafaela a lot, it’s a large city, a little
smaller than Santa Fe, but it is very beautiful and nicely taken care of. Apparently
we work with a branch of about 20 to 30 people, and so we’ll be getting pretty
close with all the fellas.
I love you guys and I’m super glad that y’all are together
for the summer. I miss you and can’t wait to talk to you on Mother’s Day.
Elder Greene
I believe that my release date should be the 14th of December,
or maybe a little after but I’ll have to clarify that.
