December 20, 2010 - Only 5 days till Phone Time

Ya!! This week we finally get to talk. I´m planning on calling Saturday, 25 of December, at around 10 a.m. my time, which would be about 11 a.m. your time. To avoid calling from a payphone and not being able to hear you very well I would appreciate it if you called me at the number I give you. Just dial it as it is and you should reach the bishop´s house. If for some reason I don´t answer just say, Está Elder Graham? I will call you from a payphone right before I head over there just so that you know exactly when to call. Be ready with whatever questions you want to ask me so as to not waste a lot of time.

So, remember when I said I was going to buy a better blanket last week. Well, I asked the family of Ruben, who was just baptized, where I could buy a good blanket and they buy 3 amazing, snuggly, thick blankets for me and 3 for my companion and bring them to our apartment the next day. They are so nice to us.

It was interesting this Sunday because one of our new investigators is a lady who is missing a leg, (She has diabetes and had some kind of clot or infection in one of her legs that required it to be amputated.) and to get her to church I had to carry her down the stairs of her apartment, and then I had to carry her back up after church. I never thought I would have to do something like that on my mission.

To answer your question, Marc, I sometimes travel in a bus, but more commonly in these little transport vans called combis, or I just walk. Ocassionaly a member gives us a ride somewhere, but not near as many people here have cars. I´m looking forward to your present, Marc, and I´m even more excited because I get to talk to you this Saturday.

Love,

Brett
