From Nate: Oct 26th
hola what up
THIS week has been pretty sweet. we got this one guy who makes tank tops
and i got a freakin sweet tank top for free but the problem is with my
figure i llook really gay. I took pictures so you can figure it out. this
guy is sweet. HE KNOWS THE church is true. and he would get babtised
saturday but we have only taught him the first lesson. he does not
understand that he still has to learn more he keeps saying so are we gonna
go do this babtism thing now. HE so relaxed about it a lot of people have
all these worries and can't do what the know is write but for him it is
easy. AND he is already married. probably the only person in this country
who ever got married with out being married. HIS wife is strong like
aubrey. I realized cause she has the biggest baby ii have ever seen. THE
ladies arms just get sucked into his butt its hilarous. the kidd is so
amazinly big.
and it is only 10 months and it is deffinatly bigger than xander then when i
left. i think it might be as tall as treste only fatter. but the family is
sweet. they are so cool and fun.
MOM did i tell you that my friend christian the one with the machete and the
stupid wife is going to get babtised this saturday sweet huh he wants to so
bad i can't wait to see how happy he is when he gets babtised. he had to
move away from his girlfriend i think thats good he was to good to get
married to her hes so cool.
MOM you should write tell the missionaires what is like when you don't know
the language. because a lot of preach my gospel is centered towards people
who already speak the language. YOU cant teach for understanding when you
don't understand the person. but your roll is a little different you kind
of got to teach the real simple basics basics. tell them please don't study
any thing to complicated. just real basic. because you have to teach basic
so they will understand. and so then you will beablle to understand what
your talking about in a different language. AND to be able to watch your
companion and learn from them because there really good with all the
practice and experience. so they got sweet techiniques you learn stuff
every day from them.
some things my companion does that i always want to do are. WE start every
lession out with a hymn that is so greaat. he invites every time. HE plans
really well thats really important. he looks for the good people that have
integrity. because some people don't have integrity so they just lie and
lie and lie its so gross. oh he is really calm about thinks when i am in a
panic about not knowing spanish. he helps me relax. theses are all
wonderful attributes to have when a missionairy and he has them. mom tell
your missionaires to start out with a hymn people really just seem to want
to listen a little more after a hymn. i love you all bye

From Nate: Oct 20th
HEY WHAT Up this week has been pretty sweet. we got some people come around
and finally decide to get babtised. AND my friend christain the one with
the machete and just wants to get babtised so bad. HAD gotten a job this
week so he can move away from his wife who i honestly am starting to believe
is the meaning person i have ever met. MOM this guy is so sweet you would
love him. we had him to have family home evening and that we would attend
his first one. SO we did he had found a chalk board and every thing and
taught a sweet lesson. it was the cutest sweetest thing i have ever seen he
even wore a suit and tie how wonderful.
AND he will get babtised in a week. hooray. so that is making me happy.
oh yea i read the ensign this month about how showing love to your family.
a thousand stiches of love. and it talked about all the little things
christ did to show love and it reminded me of anne cerny and william cerny
and i knew i was raised right.
we have had a wierd end of the week. THe people in the dominican had welga
day yesterday. which is like riot day. so we didn't get to go out. THAT
WAS NO FUN. i saw one start there crazy they throw all this broken glass
into the street and then start burning tires. these are the people who are
stupid the good wonderful people in the dominican are getting hurt by there
actions. I DON't like this. its so stupid. THESE people don't do any
thing but drugs then they complain they don't have money so they riot. and
they ruin the good things for the good people how stupid is that. oh it is
dumb.
WELL I am safe and feeling goods love. I still don't under stand dominicans
but i can understand if i see a little telivision or a little of something
of that when i am walking around. THe difference is the tv pronounciatate
and domincans are lazy espicalial old people. adios love you all of you

From Nate: whaat up
ok so i am so scared here here's why, so my first day we go to this house
my comp didn't tell me much about it so i was walking in and we were
teaching a little boy who looked about 15, and he was saying how is dad
was mad that we were teaching him, and my cop seemed a little nervous i had
no clue what was happening. THEN his dad comes out and starts screaming in
spanish i didn't understand then he pulls out a huge machety *big knife* so
i took of running i got about 30 feet out and realized my comp wasn't behind
me so i turned around and they were laughing at me.
IT WAS JUST A JOKE THEY WERE PLAYING ON ME HOW MEAN. WELL IT WAS PRETTY
FUNNY REALLY FUNNY. yes zeb i think that the dominican might be a lot like
you described the phillipenes exept i am in the citty right now so i got it
pretty good. but other than that yes. and it is so hot very hot very very
hot. and there are people who make really comfortable pants you would love
it. ok the spanish here is crazy instead of the word para they say par.
and there numbers are loco. i was trying to write down this guys phone
number and he kept saying die die. i was like what the heck. but then i
realized he was saying diez diez. but going to the mtc in the same country
is probably one of the best things ever every lesson was in spanish there it
really helped.
MOM i am sorry i scared you at the beginging of the letter i was scared
but you should know that there is no one sweeter than this guy. his name is
christian and i don't think anyone wants to get married more than him. but
his wife is really retarded and there not married and he can't leave here.
he doesn't like her i have never seen anyone so sad he wants to be babtised
so bad. HE found out about the book of mormon six weeks ago and he knows it
so well. he also never misses a meeting. even the ones he shouldn't go to
during the week. ITs sad.
BUt we have been blessed this week we found a really fun family
called the babtista family. THey play the guitar all day. ANd when we
start with a him they play the guitar to it it's sweet action. they have a
six year old name samuel and i spend most of my time trying to talk to him .
when we were telling them about prophets he yelled out and samuel it was
pretty sweet.
we have this one family we go teach but its this 11 year old and his parents
are never there. so my comp just lets me try to tell him stories frrom the
bom I try to tell them with exitement but they can't understand me its kinda
funny but i enjoy trying.
yea my comp is great he doesn't care what i do. and he just teaches me
spanish all day its like a twenty four hour spanish lesson my head really
hurts a lot. but its ok. zeb the dominican has maids its great that way.
oh i am sorry no pictures i didn't have my camara with me i will send some
next week. sorry.
YEA THE DOMINCANS are so friendly. but i a lot of them are drugged up way
to much. ITS A CONSTANt party. there is always really loud music that is
crap rap it sounds horrible. so its hard to hear anyone. the party of
domicans will never end i don't know when its impossible. and there are
disgusting dogs everywhere.
well i love you guys tons . tons tons and tons tons tons. wonderful. keep
praying for me to know spanish. I am really impatient i just got to know
it but i think that makes me try harder. THATS GOOD. love you read the
book of mormon because its important. do it
