We have much more computer trouble here than in Bo, so this will be short, and no pictures unfortunately.
Anyways, yeah, turning 20 on Saturday. Woot woot? Not so sure. I've kept it secret, so nobody knows. I'm sure Sister Roggia knows and will tell me happy birthday, but I don't plan on telling anyone. You know how I am about birthdays. Turning 20 is nice though. I'm that much closer to being 21 and at home. Not that I'm itching that bad to go home, but the thought is always in the back of your mind. A month can't go by unnoticed.
Yeah, postal strikes are a part of life. I don't really watch for packages too much. They're always an unexpected surprise even when I know it's on the way. "We're made to suffer! It's our lot in life." -C3-P0
So, this week is pretty dang normal. We got TONS of new investigators, like, 14. Thirteen of them came to church. So, yeah. The work is sweet. Not anything too exciting going on. Just teaching and teaching and teaching and then sleeping and sleeping and sleeping. It's the best.
Regarding our new apartment, we're probably moving there! The Office Elders are coming with our physical facilities manager to check it out and approve it. If they give the thumbs up, then we move in! Woo hoo! It'll be the sweetest house in the whole mission.
I look forward to coming home and sharing all of my wonderful stories. We'll probably have to set up the projector and watch all of my sweet movies and pictures, and I'll tell stories for hours on end, and you will have your minds sufficiently blown. :) I have to finish with writing the stories first though! ;)
Oh! I met a new Elder today: Elder Stuart. He's from Louisiana, and I guess he likes the blog you made for me, because he read the whole thing! It's so annoying, because I'll go to tell a story to some people, and he'll be like, "Oh! I remember that! That was so funny!" before I've even said anything about it! The funniest was when I brought a big plastic bag with Monopoly and Risk in it, and he asked if Monopoly was inside even before he saw it! Eh bo, can you believe? He didn't just read it, he STUDIED it!
Thanks for building the blog for me. I'm sure I'll come to treasure it even after my mission. I've heard that there are companies that will make a nice printed version of a blog. Definitely something I'd want! ;) It's basically my second journal. I'm glad someone has been excited to come on this mission because of the blog. I thought most of the times that my experiences are boring and stuff, but I guess for someone who has never been here, then it's great reading!
Well, I'm out of stuff to say for today. You know how it is for missionaries. Things become very routine, so things become less and less "exciting" at face value.
Here's a fun fact I guess: I like eating "gari" now. It's dried and shredded casava roots. They're more absorbent than the best "Depends" brand diaper, and it's similar to eating pulverized Frosted Mini Wheats when mixed with sugar and milk. Way nice! and it's only 300le a cup! The breakfast of champions, let me tell you. I want to bring some home for you to try. It's easy to bring, so I'll make sure I do that.
Is there anything you want me to come with when I come home? (Yeah, a long time from now, but I can keep my eyes peeled) I have some few ideas, but maybe there's something you've heard of that you want to see/have/taste/etc.
Alrighty, love you! Have a wonderful week! Eat some cake for me in case I'm not able to! ;)
Love,
Elder Vaughan
