[Mom’s note: Elder Solomon was allowed to call home last Friday to tell us, officially, that he has been delayed in going to Mexico. He will remain at the MTC until his Visa clears, most likely three weeks. It was a very short 5 minute call, and yes, momma got choked up and teary eyed,,,but it was so good to hear his voice!]
Ok mom, not gonna lie… I cried for a while after hanging up, I miss my momma! But I'm fine now. Dad some thing kinda funny everyone in my district calls me "solly" or Elder Solly, its kinda cool and reminds me of you. They came up with it all on their own.
Well, we’re finally over the sicknesses, guess we should've done blessings sooner! Elder Hoyt and me actually blessed each other with the help of our roomies, it was really a neat experience, we then took the opportunity to bless the others just cuz we can (blessings of comfort) and low and behold it worked! Amazing stuff!
We’re staring to teach the third lesson this week. It’s less work cuz we already know a bit of vocab and we’ve gotten pretty good at finding a way around the words we don’t know. We pry (probably) won’t have our teachers as much now that we are on the delay, so that'll be good. I can polish up my rough grammar and keep studying my scrips (scriptures). I'm in third Nephi right now, its such a cool book, I love "plastering" my pages with my thoughts, I'm almost all the way through since I've got here, I'm also studying the Bible too, well just the cool chapters in the old testament and the chapter heading on the others, but the new testament too. I skipped the gospels and went into the rest. Its tough reading compared to the Book of Mormon. The BoM is just so clear and beautiful, I love it!
Well, I miss you all. Sheldon you better have something to say to me at Christmas you little turd!!! [when speaking to him on the phone, Sheldon had nothing to say!] I love you all so much and know with all my heart this gospel is true. I love learning Spanish, it’s so cool! I'm gonna try to send some pictures over email so ill cut this one short.
Les amo,
Elder Solomon
P.S. I saw Elder Isham here the other day. He’s heading to Montana! and guess what? He shaved!!!
Ok, [sending pictures] didnt work, anywho…I got to talk to the old mission president of Mex City East. He said it is more technological advanced than any city in Utah, (shooting down Elder Hoyt), and you can buy whatever you want, he said to use the pouch for letters and money and don’t even worry about packages unless your using Fedex cuz you can get whatever down there and its cheaper, said were gonna love it…can’t wait! ok paz
