Well, after reading all the letters from the family, I think I need to answer the important question, mashed potatoes. I think it says something about me that all of the letters this week talked about mashed potatoes. (More than I can say about Matt getting engaged.) So, to answer your question, yes and no. They do eat mashed potatoes here, but not like we do in Utah. The most common way is in quesadillas. (Mexicans are geniouses.) So, I have had mashed potatoes, or puree de papa, so you can all relax, I think.
Now that I've gotten the important stuff out of the way, this week was pretty good, although I have started to realize why they usually change our missionaries every three months or so. Don't get me wrong, I love this area, and my companion, but after awhile you start to fall into a routine, and I've noticed that this has started to happen with us. But, we have a plan. There is a fairly large part of our area where we hardly ever go, and we have decided that every day we are going to dedicate some time to this area. The best part is that after we decided this, we were told that they are probably going to devide our area after this cycle, and we would have the part that I was talking about as our area. The only thing that worries me is that this part of the area is built on a hill, so it's going to be a bit difficult the first few days. Still, it should be a good experience. So, I'll let you know how things go with that.
Other than that, things are about the same. Our very pregnant investigator had her baby, so that makes things a bit difficult as far as teaching her goes. Still, she's in home now with the new born and her four year old daughter who is not very used to the idea of silence, so hopefully we'll be able to see her again soon. It does help that her husband is a doctor. Other than that, it's the same old same old here.
Well, that's about it for me this week. It sounds like you had a pretty interesting week though. Are you happy or sad that you're leaving the primary? It has been an good experience for me being in the gospel principles class, and I hope you enjoy it. I actually really like it, because it explains really well all the fundamental beliefs of the church, from the creation and the fall of Adam, to the eternal life and everything in between. It's a great refresher course of the gospel. I'm also glad to hear that things are going well in school. It is rare to hear about you going on a fishing trip with one of your friends. (XD) Still, I'm glad everything turned out OK with the fire. Oh, and the pens were perfect. You'll have to tell me where you found them.
OK, that's all I've got for you this week. I love you, and I'll talk to you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
