Too Young to Feel So Old (5/28)

[from May 28, 2018]

hey guys,

so you have a 20 year old kid! thanks so much for the birthday video... I loved it, you guys are a bunch of goofballs!  thanks so much for always writing, it makes me a little sad when i can`t write, but i know when i do get to write, that there will be two letters here waiting for me and that makes me feel better. we haven`t had light or water for the better part of this week, when there isn`t light and water, it feels kinda like camping. SON COSAS

hey, yeah i do feel a lot different from the 18 year old who left home almost two years ago. i hope the majority of things that have changed have been for the better. i hope i can hang onto some of these good habits when i get home.

i know, i do feel kinda old. i think sometimes some of my hairs are gonna turn gray. for some things i feel kinda like a teenager. i still like to do dumb stuff and have fun. i do all i can to have fun during p-day or in the night after we finish working. but i feel like an old man sometimes- for example when i told my "son" e´chagas (who`s 24) what we were gonna do, i felt like a really old man.

i`m not too worried about the future either. you know better than anybody that i am not a worrier. i hope i can make the right decisions, but you better be prepared with some dadvice for when i get home too!

josue and paola are really nice, them being exmissionarys in this part of honduras means... stake callings. so they are almost always travelling on sundays, but it`s nice to have josue as a preisthood holder that counts for our 6.

saba has been a good area for me... ive learned tons. it would be cool to finish here, now that we will be an autonomous branch, but it would be nice to finish in another area too. after three changes in an area, one starts to get a little stir crazy

bye guys i love you all tons!
