Dear
Withers Family,
I
salute all relatives that came to Rebecca’s report. I hope they enjoyed
their brief stay in the home of my upbringing... ¡Well it was fun talking a bit
like Shakespeare, but let´s get on with the letter!
Out
here in Parral, it is very very hot, and rainless. It is a dry heat, and
I am grateful for a bike. I hope it is all right with you all if I make
some necessary adjustments on my bike, there are no reflector lights, and as it
was a used bike the tread was wore down, and the air is always slowly
leaking. I got it spruced up.
Also
small announcement, my companion doesn’t want to go home out of shape, so we
are going to the gym 3 times a week.
I
have decided that mote con huesillo, and harina tostada are 2 of my favorite
food items here in Chile. Harina tostada is toasted flour and you can put
it in water, in milk, or in any drink, and stir it, with sugar, and it is
amazing, and a great source of protein and energy. Here they even put it
on watermelon, I really like it. It is a very Chilean thing. If you
can find it, buy some and try it. If not, shoot me an email and I will get
you hooked up, as it is very cheap.
I
love the mission. There are days, even
weeks, even months when it seems very difficult, but the Lord will get done
that which he has set out to do, we just have to obey the master and everything
will work out. Every day you learn something, and it really is
great. I know the church is true, and that Joseph Smith was the prophet
of the beginning of the Restoration.
I
love you all more than the number of toothpicks and brownish red varnish it
would take to make a replica of a California Redwood. Have a great week.
-Elder
Withers
