-On Tuesday we went to make brownies with our friend who's not all there. That place is too wild haha everyone there is out of their mind, literally. We made the brownies, shared a spiritual thought, ended with a prayer, and before we knew it all the brownies were gone. Didn't even get a single crumb. It was super depressing, to be honest.
-Later in the week we were in a really poor area of the city and we contacted a man and were teaching him. When we finished the lesson, his 3 year old son walked up to him and put something into his hand. i don't think Elder Villacreses saw it but it was drug related. the guy hid it behind his back real quick haha sounds like we know what our next lesson needs to be on
-I participated in a choral program on saturday night. it was so bad haha Paraguayans have absolutely no ear for music. but i think the people enjoyed it because they couldn't tell how off tune it was either haha
other stuff that happened this week was i found out i'm allergic to mangos! we had mangos for dessert on thursday and my face has been enourmous and red and swelled up ever since haha which really is too bad because mangos are the only things any one ever eats around here. Dang.
and this saturday i went on a division w/ Elder Schmidt. he's a greenie too so it was super stressful because we both are terrible at spanish! it didn't end up too bad though, we actually made some pretty good contacts and we also went to the mcdonalds in his super chuchi area and got kit kat mcflurry's so that was nice.
i realize more and more how much im growing up out here. last night i was feeling pretty sick so i went into our bathroom and stuck my finger down my throat and forced myself to vomit. i think a dessert i had for lunch made me sick. they drizzle condensed milk on fruit here for dessert. even thinking about it makes me want to hurl again. but anyway, before the mission i would probably have gone into your room to wake up you haha. now, it still sucks, but it's more just annoying than terrifying. i don't know if that's a part of becoming an adult or not. but if i keep talking about it i'll throw up again so i'll change the subject haha
thanks for the emails. cant wait to talk on sunday, love you. Merry Christmas
-Elder Glasgow
