Elder Buck with Elder Schnettle and Elder Yates, the mission president assistants who flew in last week to spend a day with us. It is nice to visit with others who speak English.Hola Familia Buck
That’s good to hear that you guys had another good week, ooooh that’s still pretty warm in Arizona, I hope it cools down here too ha-ha. That will never happen :P
That sounded like fun going to hear Scott and his band play. I remember going and listening to them they were pretty good. Yeah about that picture website you made for me dad, thank you, I look at it when ever I can I haven’t been able to look at it recently cause I don’t have time but when I do its so cool to be able to see all those family pictures.
This week has been good, time is starting to fly, were almost finished with this change and my companion goes home in 3 months HE IS SO TRUNKY!!! Sometimes work isn’t very good, cause he says when he sitting their in lessons he usually can’t teach that good cause he’s thinking about home. The weather has been hot and humid and rainy like always, it’s actually kind of depressing when it rains cause first we have to go out in the rain and second we get so muddy, my pant legs are covered with mud sometimes. But other then that it’s good. The rainiest season right now is in the winter. I’m sure they have somewhere we can buy a jacket but I’m just too lazy to look for one ha-ha.

This week actually was kind of hard, Monday night I wasn’t feeling good and couldn’t breathe so I thought I was going to have another lung attack. We came home and I didn’t want to go to sleep cause we were suppose to still be working so I studied Preparing for Salvation which is cool. Then I went to bed even though I was still having a hard time breathing and a super bad headache. The next morning I woke up with an unbelievable painful headache and a fever. I stayed in bed and pretty much slept all day then when night came wasn’t tired and I couldn’t go to sleep, so I stayed up till 4 a.m. reading the Book of Mormon. Every time I read it before bed I fall asleep, but this time I didn’t. I started in Alma Chapter 1 and read all the way to Alma Chapter 49 that was so cool. Ammon is my favorite missionary example, I think that it is so cool how faithful he and all the sons of Mosiah are. When I think about me and my situation (I’M A BABY HAHA) because I don’t get stoned, or spit upon, or cast into prison and beaten and starved. SO WHY DO I WHINE haha??!! That actually helped me out a lot to understand that I don’t have it so hard.
It is kind of hard living with four other Elders. The other Gringo Elder Augustin is cool and so is my companion too. But Elder Solorzano, Ical, and Corrazco I still don’t know them very well. Elder Carrazco is just a straight-up-punk, every time I walk by him he shoulders me and tells me his going to stab me with a knife while I’m sleeping, he’s always has a bad attitude and is ruder then heck! I know I’m in another country/culture so things are going to be a different, but I try to help him, sometimes he will be cool and let me teach him a song on the guitar but usually goes back to his bad attitude after. I talked to my companion and asked him to talk to Carrazco and tell him to start acting like a missionary, stop calling me gringo, start calling me Elder and to chill. He is always yelling or screaming or making some kind of noise. Now Elder Ical is acting just like him and it’s so annoying haha. Then there is Elder Solorzano he´s a cool Elder and does everything he´s suppose to. He just doesn´t like me I try to talk to him but he doesn’t talk back haha I don’t know….other then that were doing alright. They can pretty dang annoying though.
No the family we have been teaching never got their birth certificate there suppose to get it today but they haven’t yet. And their attitudes have totally changed and seem to not care anymore and didn’t go to church, even when I passed by their house that morning and they said yes they would. Dang I need to step it up I still hardly know anyone in my area, or the name of places or individual names. BUT Juan the young man we were teaching did get baptized this week so that was good.
As far as cleaning the church I don’t know what we can do, I tried to do something about it and even talked about in my talk the other Sunday when I was suppose to be talking about enduring to the end. Where’s that scripture in D&C that says the spirit can’t dwell in a dirty room or we need a house of order.
Wow that is some pretty big changes in the home ward I hope everything goes good with that. I got a letter from Grandma Eliason too!!! Tell I LOVE HER!!! I’m not able to write back I never have time so right now this is all I can do. My Spanish still needs improving, we lack the study materials but I’m doing what I can. Today I’m going to buy a book so I can learn the Miskito language better.Well I love you all and thank you for all of your love and support!!
Con cariño y mucho amor
Elder Buck
