Family!
Another week has
past! Sounds like all went well with you all this week. Looks like
graduation went well; I'm sad I missed it! You'll have to let me know how
the trip went when you email next week!
As far as Dayton goes,
things are pretty normal here. Last P-day we went to the Dayton Art
Insitute and looked at art. I'll include some pictures of our
adventures...
You know in the
Restoration DVD where Joseph Smith and the little boy are planting and Joseph
sticks a stick in the ground, moves it forward a bit, then the kid puts the
seed in and they close up the hole? Yeah, we did that this week. We
were helping out in the garden of our Branch President's family, and Elder
Chandler and I were given the opportunity to plant the green beans. So we
found a stick, and we acted out that part of the movie! It was exciting.
We went out with a
member who recently returned from his mission in Guatemala. He is the
epitome of becoming Hispanic. He internalized the culture so well I would
dare say he is Guatemalteco. Anyways, he taught us a new form
of speaking that I've heard of before, but never known how to
use. In Spanish there's a formal way of speaking, and informal way
of speaking, and this other way called the "vos" form, which I
guess they only use in certain countries. It's basically just a super
informal way of speaking. So that was cool to
learn. Elder Chandler and I are starting to take note of all the
words we learn from all of the different countries that are represented
here. Soon I'll be able to speak Spanish from Mexico, Guatemala, Puerto
Rico, La Republica Dominicana, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc.!
We had an amazing
lesson with a new investigator this week. She is super prepared; she
basically taught us about the apostasy when we started discussing
it! We are super excited for her!
That's it for this
week! Hope all goes well with the cruise!
Love,
Elder Foote
