Week 28

Hello, Family!!!

I`m doing great! No, noone got transferred, we`re all four here in Ybatè still, having a blast! I think we`re actually going to borrow Monopoly, spanish version, from a member today to play! We`re having SSSOOOO much fun here, and working harder than I ever have. I`m actually really feeling at home here. The Cement houses, and the different-patterned sidewalks in front of each house, and the horse-and-cart in the middle of the busy road, and the collectivos, and the DELICIOUS empanadas, and the empadrada roads, and the sticky humidity, and the polka paraguaya blasting from every house... It`s all comfortabe now. THis is my home. I`m happy. ;_) I think It`ll be a shock to sit in a Sacrament meeting and look at the back of a bunch of white heads, rubios. I like it here.

Now, on to the important stuff.

Dad, Sloan really retired??? I honestly thought he`d die before he retired. What a bummer. We`ll see what happens though, huh? Well… I guess you and George will see what happens… and you can tell me about it. ;_).

Speaking of which, George, you`re going to get a kick out of this. I think you`ll miss me a little too. My sleep talking is back, and going strong! Haha, poor Elder Reveròn. He gets the worst of it. From what they tell me, the occurances are as follows:

1. I got up and knelt on my bed and started saying, “Fetch! Fetch! Fetch!” Really loud, like I was frustrated about something. After a few mumbled words, I said, “En el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.” And I went back to sleep. ;_).

2. I grabbed Elder Reveròn`s leg in the middle of the night, really tightly, and asked him in a panicked voice, “¿Que? … ¿Que?”. Or “What? … What?” He said he just held perfectly still and pretended like he was asleep, until I let go and went back to sleep.

There are a few other ones, but you get the idea. Miss me yet, George?

Love you all!

Elder Stewart.

p.s. I asked a little member girl if she`d be my valentine, and she didn`t know what I was talking about. BUMMER!!!!! So, I`m valentineless today. Mother, if you feel any pity for me whatsoever, I would send me a large box of chocolates. Immediately. While you`re still feeling bad. ;_)
