January 8, 2024 THE HOPEFULLY NOT SO BORING ADVENTURES OF ELDER WILLIAMSON CHAPTER LXIV

so i've been in this place called padre las casas for 3ish weeks now.. and we have a lady who makes our lunches for us.. it's always rice, but it's always with something different.. and it's always in ridiculously impossible portions to eat.. just mine tho, she doesn't give as much food to my comp.. and at first the food kinda scared me.. like i'm gonna have to eat this much eVery day? so i started out by only eating lunches, and hoping that the combined hunger from not eating dinner and breakfast would be enough to be able to eat gigantic mounds of rice and stuff.. but then i realized that i'm stArving in at all other times, especially in the morning after working out... so i usually buy something small to eat for dinner, like some sandwich from some place that delivers.. and i usually make some hot chocolate with protein powder in the morning (i used to make smoothies of shakes or whatever, but i don't really have the ingredients here, so it's down to milk or water, nesquick, and the rest of the protein powder left over from barahona... but basically my point is.. i am eating a lot more food than i ever have in the mission.. but i'm still hungry all the time.. what hAs changed however, is the amOunt i can eat now.. like my stomach must just be expanding a lot.. annnd the speed at which i eat is much faster now as well, because if i eat faster i can eat more.. nowww.. that's just background information for what i am about to tell you.. that being said.. i also have not had little ceasers in many months, as i have been in the south far from all of civilization... sooooo.. one day we went to azua.. they have little ceasers there.. my comp didn't want little ceasars.. i did.. so i order 1 pepperoni pizza, and the guy delivers it.. and then i start eating.. and i'm like, wow i'm pretty hungry, i wonder how much i'll be able to eat.. so i'm eating, and i get like half way, and i cOuld stop.. like i'm not sUper hungry anymore.. but i'm also curious.. so i eat another.. and 2 more.. and then the last one... sooo that's the story of how i ate a little ceasers pizza in less than 10 min and then was still hungry.. like i probably wouldn't have eaten more pizza, but if i had had some fruits or veggies or something, cuz i could feel the amount of grease slowing my blood stream.. like if i had gotten a cut that day, probably only pizza sauce would have come out... now, there are probably some of you who are thinking.. only 1 pizza? that's nothing... if you are thinking that.. you're fat.. if not physically, probably mentally, and definitely emotionally... anyways, other than that, new years day was the most boring i've ever lived to experience.. my comp wanted to go to the church to "call his family on the computer" (which just means play roblox online with his cousin (whatever questions you might have, i am also searching for the same answers, if you find them please let me know)).. so i just sat at the church, talked to my family, played piano for a little (i don't know hOw to play the piano, i was just that bored).. and then at night we went home, and i just watched videos on the gospel library and then went to bed... we found a dead mouse at church, but it was moving, which was really weird.. at first i wasn't sure if it was just after death muscle twitches, or it was the wind, buttt at closer examination, it was just full of maggots.. so full that when the maggots moved, the whole mouse moved.. and then the maggots started making their break to the outside world.. at which point i went to turn off the power breaker so my comp couldn't set up roblox on the tv to play with the youth.. when i returned.. the mouse was gone... so i think they swept it up or something, buttt idk... we also had interveiws with president, as well as zone council which ig we're doing again.. interveiws were pretty good, just talked about how i'm the next ap (that's a joke).. and then about my compppp... anyways tho, that's all i got this week, love you guys, have a great week! introduction to the book of mormon We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.

vroooom vroom.. *there's an amazon store in my area now.. which means i can go in there and order things from amazon, and it will ship to the store.. it costs a little extra and everything, but my shoes are a bit holy.. so i got some new ones.. we'll see when they actually decide to show up *also on monday, i saw on somebody's story from san cristobal, that there had been some kind of huge explosion.. a ton of people hurt.. killed.. it took out 3 buildings completely.. and damaged a ton of other buildings too.. *so that was super random.. i had lived in cambita before, which is technically part of san cristobal.. it's about 20 min away, but i've been to san cristobal many times before, since i lived over there for 6 months *but anyways, one of the other nights, we were teaching this lady, and going over the plan of salvation, or the plan of heavenly father (it's now called) and we asked her why she thinks we are here on the earth.. and she kinda jokingl...

thank goodness to elder helquist here who could confirm that L was the correct number... *welll.. it's been an interesting week for sure *we've stayed at home about half of the days because of sickness *but for the first time in my mission, it's not me who's sick *my comp has some kind of ameba parasite *i won't go into the details of what that actually means (cuz i have no idea) but the symptoms are pretty weird *but we weren't really sure what was going on for a while, and we had to go to the hospital like 3 or 4 times to get all of the tests and everything done for them to be sure *but he's been doing better for the last couple days, and he got a tonnn of medicine *he has two types of pills.. one he has to take every 12 hours for 7 days.. the other he has to take once every day for the next month *and then the last one is a kind of little liquid stuff that he says doesn't really have much flavor, it's just kinda oily *anyways tho, h...

weeee had transfers.. said goodbye to canada boy, and i have received a new comp.. we got a call on tuesday before transfers, and pres told me i was gonna be training again.. i thought it would be a gringo, cuz usually there are more gringos that come in at this time of year than latinos.. buttt at these transfers there was only one gringo elder that came in.. sooo i got elder Ibargüen.. he's from panama, so he speaks spanish, and he was studying english before the mission so he knows a little.. annnd he was called to speak haitian creole.. which is a littttle awkward not gonna lie, cuz i definitely don't be speaking such language.. cuzzz i wanted to focus on mastering spanish (which i am still far from).. and the other thing, is that there aren't any haitain speaking wards or even branches in our mission.. annnd because of that, there are no sacrament meetings in haitain.. sooo i haven't put any emphasis in teaching in creole, because they n...
