Tossing Cookies and Avoiding Spiders

Querida familia,

Bueno, I am just going to go ahead and start this one out with the bad news. This last Sunday my comp started tossing his cookies and let’s just say that wasn’t all. We made a nice quick trip downtown to buy some products that Hna. Del Castillo told us to buy. Then we got home and my comp just chilled in his bed until he had to visit his bucket or the bathroom. By the time church rolled around, he had stopped with the constant need of a bucket but still was in need of a bathroom. We went to church he was just fine. As priesthood started I made my very first visit to the bathroom and as priesthood ended I made my third. So we moved on to Sunday School and I moved into the bathroom for a few more visits. The bad thing about having problems during church in Clorinda is that I am in charge of a lot with my greeny by my side. Luckily the teachers of the classes showed up to our very small church meeting, 12 people in total. My speakers for sacrament meeting didn’t show up and only one of them advised me in advance. I decided to prepare a quick musical number and lengthen out my already prepared talk. Right before sacrament meeting I wrapped my arms around my porcelain buddy and left my lunch there. This could not have been a better day. I conducted the meeting, played the piano, did a musical number, gave a talk, and finished with a nice closing prayer. *Large breathy exhale* After our fun time at church the adventure continued in the pench. Now I was the one taking the medicine that we had bought for my comp. I was the one layed out on my bed. I was the one moaning in agony. I was the one making excessive amounts of bathroom visits. I was the one finishing the unfinished gatorade. Now I have no recollection of the past week. Maybe it had something to do with the prescribed medicine. Haha. What a wonderful life we live!

Well now that that legacy is over. We have had a fairly decent week. We met a really nice family yesterday and we taught them about the plan of salvation. We took care of business as usual and found a massive spider web in our front yard yesterday with a size large spider on it. We took a minute or two to watch it snatch up a fly and then suck the blood. The spider wrapped the fly in its webbing. It was almost like watching Discovery channel but this time I was Bear Grylls from “Man Vs. Wild”. My comp is still in the stage of being amazed by everything he sees. It is really fun to be around him.








Our area will be getting a lot bigger when they open up a bunch of new viviendas. The government says that they are about to give the homes to the people. I know quite a few people that are waiting for one and have been waiting for quite some time. Maybe I will be able to see some people in these viviendas. Maybe I will be able to be the first one to clap ‘em up. I might just a have a whole lot of firsts in this new part. Yeah for firsts!









Tomorrow we have our zone conference and will be making the routine trip to the Formosa Capital. Elder Lyndsey will be going home tomorrow and taking the pills with him. I will make sure to send you the info or if I haven’t already - good. We have a baptismal date for the 28th of this month. We will see how it goes. I love you all and hope that all continues to go well.

Hasta Luego,
Elder Hunsaker
