hey guys!
sorry the light comes and goes here... only got to write for about 10 minutes last time
Family
christian!!!
Daniel Christian Stoddard
on tuesday
or it felt like 10 minutes
hey guys!! who`s online?
we had a baptism yesterday woohoo!
and my comp has changes
Family
yea!
oh no! i bet you are sad to see him go.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
yeah my new comp is gonna be elder miranda from ecuador
and the baptism was of denis "el chino" valderramos who`s a 22 future melquezidik priesthood
man i spelled melquezidik super bad
Family
what do they call ecudoricans again?
Daniel Christian Stoddard
they don`t have a cool name... that`s only a central american thing i think
Family
ah. okay. but congrats on being one step closer to being a rama. [branch]
Daniel Christian Stoddard
yeah!
we just need 1 more and we`re set
Family
i believe!
Daniel Christian Stoddard
me too... we are so close!
Allie
I MISS YOU! (Emma)
Kissen! Scale of 1 to 10 how excited are you to come here! Are you worried? Are you excited? Will you miss Honduras? What is WAY cool about Honduras? And what are you glad to leave behind? What are you excited about for Ukraine? And what are you worried about Ukraine?
Daniel Christian Stoddard
we have another guy with plans... he`s just nervous abouit the commitment
Family
yeah. i am sure he is not the first person you have met who is like that.
did we lose you? ¿se fue la luz nuevamente? [did the power go out again?]
Daniel Christian Stoddard
nope
i`m responding to allies questions
Family
***those were Emma’s questions. ;)
Daniel Christian Stoddard
I`m a 9 excited to come there, but a 10 excited to see you guys. Yeah for sure gonna miss Honduras, I`ve gotten so used to it here haha. Honduras is cool because of the christian culture here, everybody believes in Jesus! (Even if sometimes they don`t do everything they should to follow him) I`m excite dto see ukraine and to explore the city of kiev, I`m nervous I`ll get lost or do something that`s culturally super wierd
Dan
that sounds really good. you think things through a lot!
Family
Haha! You’re totally not going to do anything g culturally weird here. This is a very forgiving place.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
ah thank goodness
Family
Other than the metro. That’s not very forgiving!
Dan
yeah. much more “do your own thing” than other places we have been.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
i`m just worried i`ll start eating some fried chicken with my hands and licking my fingers and everybody will be like "what the heck is up with this guy?"
Family
That might be different!!
Dan
Dan
you can just tell them “finger-licking good” is high praise in america ... like burping in polynesia.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
ahah no but really eating with utensils is gonna be weird for me
it`ll be weird leaving the mission haah
Dan
it`ll be weird leaving the mission haah
Dan
yeah. i remember.
Family
It is super strange coming home, but you have some plans and school to look forward to.
Dan
and i do not know when or how, but i would like to see where you have been.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
that would be awesome!
but it would have to be in a while... i don`t think that flights from ukraine to honduras leave cheap
Dan
no doubt.
but pretty inexpensive once you get there, i would venture.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
yep
Dan
need to try me some baleadas!
Daniel Christian Stoddard
i was in a supermarket this morning and i saw one of the arizona juices that come in cans like they have in the us
and i thought 25 lempiras!!! That is so expensive! But then i realized it was a dollar and i settled down but still a buck for juice is a lot here
haha yes you do!
Dan
similar here, but probably not to the same extent.
Daniel Christian Stoddard
Daniel Christian Stoddard
como va el ruso? [how is the russian going?]
Dan
Dan
el ruso no es facil. [russian is not easy.]
pero al escucharlo todo el día me ayuda bastante. la cosa es que con mis nuevas responsibilidades casi no me queda tiempo para estudiar. solamente mejoro estos dias por “osmosis”. [but listening to it all day helps quite a bit. the thing is that with my new responsibilities, there is almost no time left for studying. i only get better these days by osmosis.]
