Where are the Visas?

16 September 2011

     Hey! I'm still here! They still haven't told me anything on my visa. But I will for sure be able to call when I get it.  Not sure why, but I will.  They say don't tell your parrents when your leaving and then they say call them to let them know when you are leaving... oh well,  I'm not complaining.  All is well here and actually it's very possible that I will give Aaron the grand tour on the 21st.  My district just got the assignment for host that week.  Tell Aaron I'll be looking for him! If you can get a package or letter off before then (21st) would you let me know when he is supposed to arrive?? And if the ugly ties don't get here, it won't be the end of the world.  I'm only here for a couple more weeks.  Do you remember when I said that I was positive I was going to Texas?? Well, it is distinctly possible that I will if my Visa doesn't come!

     The post office here is back up and running again.  Yesterday was officially labeled "la dia de cartas!" (day of mail.)  Everyone got at least one piece of mail; some people got 5 or 6.  It was impressive! 

     The MTC does have a sense of humor I discovered.  They sent me a letter for a room checkout sheet, obviously implying that I would be checking out of my room.  So, I ran to the travel office here and check to see what day I was leaving... But... Nope, just kidding. They told me they hadn't recieved any visas for Peru.   Other news, or prank I guess is more like it.  The other day I was talking to someone in my district, and while we were talking I managed to take his suitcase and walk out of the room with it without him noticing.  I was very impressed with myself.  This suitcase was a big one too! Thats about it for humor.  We, in the district, have begun developing our Spanish sense of humor too! It's kinda weird.  I learned from one of our teachers that Spanish has no sarcasm and anything you say will be taken literally.  Makes cracking a joke a whole lot harder, but I is coming.

     That's about all that's new here.  I hope everything is good in Colorado.  Tell Aunt Dorothy "hi!" for me. For treats, I'll take just about anything, BUT NOT COOKIES.  We have been overloaded with those.  I always love lemon bars or bread.  (Rice krispies are good... I don't know.)  Just whatever!  I still have your staygood for a while salsa so... pretty much anything would be appreciated.  I might be bad and sneak on here again if I think of anything specifically.

      Tell everyone I love them.  And I miss them! Take care and have fun in Colorado!
