We heard from David on Monday. He's still loving being a missionary and although he won't be home for Christmas he wouldn't have it any other way. We'll get to hear from him Christmas at some point and it will be a great phone call!! Everyone else in the family will be home huddled around the telephone hoping that he remembers how to speak English! So far, David's companions have been Mexican missionaries that speak little, if any, English so...sink or swim David!
We had written to David that while we were in Las Vegas last week we had to laugh at everyone wearing sweatshirts, beanie caps, scarves and gloves in 40 degree weather. To us...it felt pretty nice. Here's what David had to say:
"You wanna know what’s even funnier than seeing people wearing beanies and jackets and scarves in 40 degree weather? Seeing EVERYONE wearing beanies and jackets and scarves in 80 degree weather : ) It’s just not NATURAL!!!" Hahahaha...I guess everything is relative.
"Cold weather sucks. I can’t imagine what you’re all going through right now and I think it’s gonna be tough to come home. I’ll finish up in Sinaloa, of that I’m all but expressly certain. Which means I’ll leave a climate of pushing 130 degrees and a million percent humidity for a climate of like maybe 100 degrees and maybe like – a million percent humidity. Ahhhhh, NO ME DIGA!!! ;) But, it’s all good : ) It’ll be good to come home, and I’m way excited to see the house and Ashley and my new sister and all of you and everything, BUTTTT, I’m not gonna lie, I don’t wanna really come home. . . Sorry, I hope you all understand."
So you see...David loves being a missionary and he's happy being with the people of Mexico so even though he won't be home it'll be okay!
