John's letter from 6/16/08

Our email was down for a while so I didn't get John's letter up last week. Here it is with this week's following.
love to all!

Hah you dont know how many times i have had that meal of rice and chicken. Its really funny now when its not chicken and rice im kinda disapointed. Our pensionista kinda went through a beans with everything stage. I kinda struggled with some of it but ya finished every day. Because if i dont i will wither away to nothing. Ya we dont eat salad because of the lettuce but i eat all different sorts of salads. I dont think i have gone a day without a half a plate of rice, pretty weird huh? My week went pretty well really fast. Every week seems to go by faster and faster. I had my interview with president for this change and we had a good conversation. First i talked about his lesson he gave in our zone conference, cause he kept referring to basketball and asking me if it was true everytime. He talked about giving excuses and asked me in front of everyone ¨how did you feel everytime someone gave an excuse on your team¨ i just said we ran. Which was cool cause i was talking about the same things with my companion the week before about basketball and how much we ran all the time. Then we got on the subject of what i should do after the mission. I was sayin i wasnt sure if i could make it anywhere for basketball but he told me to send out some letters or somethin and ask for an oppurtunity and if the people that watched me didnt want me, ask for where they think i could go. All this is not for sure yet we just talked about i shouldnt end on the season i ended on… but anyway other than that i have been healthy me and my companion get along pretty well. And we have some baptisms lined up for the next 2 Saturdays which is always exciting. O ya we taught this girl that is studying english and she knows it pretty well. Whe wanted me to teach in english. So i tried to talk about the pamphlet we give and every other word was spanish. They kept laughing at me that i couldnt do it. But i made it entertaing haha i think im goin to be giving her some english stuff cause she says she has none. Thats cool that brother watson came back thats good to hear about them. And the weather has been crazy here too. The south winds really through everything off. Yeseturday it was really hot up until 6 o clock then it dropped about 50 degrees and now its really cold. You just never know. But thats really all i got this week i think. Just spanish is still coming along and ya i love you guys and hope everything goes well this week.
