So no, we didn´t find a house last monday..... so they
called us on Tuesday morning and told us we had to leave, but I was
absolutely determined not to, so I told them that there was a good
possibility of renting out some rooms with a member in our ward, but
we weren´t able to find him on Monday. Well, they didn´t exactly like
that, but let us go and hunt down the guy in the morning to see if it
was something possible.... So we left super early to find out that the
member had someone else move in just before us, but that´s ok cause I
really didn´t want to live with this member guy anyway....... nothing
bad, just that there´s certain people that tend to make me angry at the
world sometimes. So then we saw a house in front of this member guy´s
house and it was for sale, but we talked to the owner to see if he would
rent it, and long story short, after many many phone calls and talking
to different mission leaders and such, they called us up on Wednesday to
tell us that the owner didn´t want to rent it, just sell it and that we
had to leave that morning. Bueno.
So yup, we´re officially in Cupesí and don´t know anyone. It´s my second
time doing this on my mission (¨opening an area¨), and unlike last time
when we had 2 teaching records in the notebook for the area (I don´t
know what it´s called in English), we don´t even have a notebook haha!
But we´re sharing the ward with another companionship, so I went with
Elder L on an intercambio so he could show me some of the area......
Well we got to our side of the ward, he tells me that he doesn´t know
anyone in our area at all, just 2 members´ houses, and then later asks
me if I know where we are because he didn´t recognize the area.. Haha
yup, got lost in our own area. But I love Cupesí because it´s more like
my first area in La Merced, but poorer and we don´t have a boundary. It
just leads into the jungle outside the city haha! Lovin' it. Everyday
there´s tons of lorrakeets that fly around everywhere and saw a toucan
the other day (but it was someone´s pet so it doesn´t count). There´s
lorikeets in all of Santa Cruz as people´s pets and also just out in the
trees everywhere, but here there are so stinkin many it´s ridiculous!
I´m sending a couple pictures. They're all of my new area in
Cupesí. There´s not a lot of houses here and we keep getting lost
because it all looks the same haha! Dirt roads and trees in the
distance. Last night we were teaching a new family about 30-35 minutes
away from our house and there were absolutely no lights when we had to
return. I always have my flashlight in my backpack for a reason haha!
There´s not a lot of areas with light, so we´ve got to be better at
finding out where there´s more houses because I´d rather not get jumped
at night.
But ya, that´s been my week. I guess I mentioned that I
was sick last week, and well ya, it´s been coming and going all week. We
had to go to the clinic the other day, but they said I don´t have any
infections, so we´re going back on Tuesday to see the results of another
test to see if I have any parasites haha! Wouldn´t that be a great
story if I did!
And ya, enough about me.... Congrats Eliza! Dolci will be
awesome, trust me..... I´ve been in it too hahahahaha....... And ya, [Sophie & Jeff] good
luck in the new house in Midvale, sounds like you´re still alive so I´m
assuming that it´s been working out haha.
And I´m sending a second email so I can send another picture....
This is what my entire area looks like.... Honestly, I don´t even feel like I´m in Santa Cruz haha. There´s no houses.
But
yup, wanna say sorry to everyone leaving on missions that wrote me and I
didn´t have time to write anyone back.... But things have calmed down a
little with all of these changes, so I have some more time.... Send me
your emails or your mission addresses or MTC or whatever and I´ll send
out those cartas ya? Bien.
Mom- the music was great on the ipod thank you! And ya, talks, music from whatever person, ya gracias!
¡Amor a todos, tenga un buen día!
[Love to all, have a good day!]
Amor,
Elder Groneman
