Hey everyone,
I have lost all sense of time. Is this my tenth letter? i think so...
Anyways...Still no word on when i will be getting out of here. Bummer, i know. Casey comes in a week from this wednesday, and I have the impression that I will get to see him. As awesome as it would be to talk to him, I hope Im not here. the people in the travel are still optomistic, so my possitive attitude forges ahead. our teachers get a new district this wednesday, so after that day I wont have class anymore and just a crap load of free time. Its tough to keep learning spanish because I feel like i have exausted all my resources. But regardless, its coming along.
We got to hear from another apostle! thats number 3 in a row. According to my inside source I told you about last week, there should be one more and then a drought for a little while. Sucks for casey, but wether its an apostle or not, the speakers are always amazing. Last night we heard for Sheri Dew. I had never heard of her before that but i guess she is a big name in the church. She was amazing! Pretty southern and told us how it was.
So friday night i fell out of the top bunk again. thats lucky numer 3 for me. Im convinced that back at home I got out of bed in the middle of the night a lot more than i realize, but its tougher now considering I have a 6 foot fall to the floor. I told Elder Moser if I fall out again we are switching beds, because I dont want to brake my leg and stay here longer. Speaking od Elder Moser, he is doing better. There was a letter sent to him by his dad this past week, thursday I think. I could tell when he was reading it something was up. I asked him if he was good when he finished, he smiled and said ya. well he went to the window in our class room and knelt to pray. when he finished he came away crying and asked our district for a blessing. He wanted me to give it. The power of the priesthood is truly amazing and Im grateful for the spirit and its guidance, because without it I would have have no idea what to say to comfort him. His dad isnt doing as well as he would have liked with his cancer. Its rough for him at times, but luckily he knows this is where he is supposed to be.
Yesterday, Elder Moser and I were released as the zone leaders. Usually, they get released when they leave. but our branch president didnt want a repeat of what happened to me and e. moser, where the last zone leaders left on short noticed and we didnt get trained. As much as i enjoyed being a zl, its nice to be able to relax a little bit more now. Mom and Dad, you have been asking about the airport and the call so here goes.
When we show up to the front desk to leave the mtc, campionships and callings are dissolved, and you become one big "travel group". A travel group leader is chosen, and they are the ones in charge of taking care of everything. I dont know how they pick this leader, but I dont think it will be me, or at least i hope. There is never a certain day or time elders leave, it is completely up to when the church can get you a flight. but its true the church likes to send out the elders as early as possible. but ive know elders to leave as late as 8 or 9 in the moring. I will be able to let you know for sure, so dont worry. Dad, they have calling cards here for me to buy before i leave that are cheaper than you can get them, so dont worry about it.
You might have forgotten, but I was still wondering about the exchange rate there and that ice cream place. dont judge me on the ice cream place, your just jealous. I cant freaking wait to get to mexico. all i ever here about my field is how amazing it is. I was talking to a sister missionary who studied in Merida for a summer and she said it was the most beutiful place in the world. Its also the only large city in all of mexico where its considered safe enough for a woman to walk down the street by herself after dark. She had been to the rest of yucatan and said everywhere is awesome.
Everyday here feels exactly like the last. It tough now to tell a huge difference between them. Exciting and awesome letters are usually the best cure. Well my time is almost up, hopefully I wont get to email from the states next time i email! Pray for my visa, I love you all. Adios.
Love, Elder Kitterman
