8 Months - Ciao Elder Meier |
|
June 13 2000
Today is my 8 month mark in the mission. That means that I'm 1/3 of the way through...Wow. Time continues to fly - faster and faster. No transfers this month, but I hear that big things are brewing for the next.
Today Elder Meier - one of the Austrian Elders went home - he finished his mission. He was a really cool Swiss Guy - who was hilarious. I'll really miss him. He was a good missionary. Another Swiss guy is coming to take his place except that the new guy doesn't speak English. That's really gonna make it fun.
Elder Meier's last Sunday here they had a baptism - An old lady named Sister Marijer. It all went very well - and I enjoyed seeing it. Some of the German members were a little upset that it was in Italian - but hey...waddya want?
Carrie wrote me finally. It was a long letter about 7 pages and handwritten so that was cool. It wasn't real interesting and she didn't share any feelings, but it was nice to know she still thinks about me ogni tanto.
La cosa piu dispiacevole della lettera e che mi ha menzionato un "amico" con cui passa tanto tempo che e un uomo. Non so perche l'ha menzionato, ma mi piacerebbe se non lo facesse. Ci dev'essere qualche motivo ma chissa la mente di una ragazza? Diceva che sono solo amici - ma Io so come funzionano i ragazzi - tutto comincia con amicizia, poi svillupa in un matrimonio. Ma non ci pensero molto perche non serve. In fatti, dopo che avevo letto la lettera provavo a ricordarmi di perche mi piaceva Carrie. Era dificile ricordarmi. Mi sembra che lei sia molto allontana - sia fisicamente che nel senso dei sentimenti, al meno dalla mia mente. Sto vivendo una vita completamente diversa di prima - e e molto dificile provare gli stessi sentimenti che provavo allora. Va bene. Ho finito con questa robaccia.
