Here is Jake's letter he sent today. If you don't know who Devin Graham
is then Google Devin Supertramp. He was in Guatemala City this last week.
Hello everyone!
So we were able to get new missionaries in last week. Some of them are
going to El Salvador but not my mission. Next week we will get the new
Latinos going to my mission. So our schedule is basically like this:
wake up at 6:30 then we work out for an hour and then study till
breakfast. Study till lunch and then finally... Study till dinner. Oh and study till bed. So lots of studying.. The weather is always perfect
and I love it! We saw rain for the first time today but it was only for
a min and now its like a trillion degrees outside. It's awesome to hear
about everything at home! This week we are doing an English fast and we
aren't allowed to speak any English. It's really hard but we learn a ton
and it makes things pretty funny. We took another picture but we still
haven't gotten it. Oh and it says that we can't receive packages but we
can. The prez was telling us that they always let them in, just make
sure it says Elder Stiles. One of my friends just got a package from his
mom with a bunch of stuff in it. And I have not gotten any of the Dear
Elders. They usually take 7 to 14 days. This new group we got lot of
Dominicans and their Spanish is really bad. They make their J's sound
like S's which is quite annoying. Something interesting we learned this
week which I thought was pretty funny was that we are Matchmakers here
in the mission and we are out here to find our investigators one true
love... God. We are like that friend that hooks two of your other
friends up. We have come to the conclusion that they ARE starving us for
the mission field. Cause every week we are more and more hungry. I've
learned to love salad cause its good to fill up on after we scarf down
all our food. Devin Graham came and spoke at one of our teacher's wards
and he was telling us how much he loved him and I showing him the
picture of the drift trikes and he thought they were the coolest things
ever.
Love Elder Stiles
3 weeks down, 3 more to go!
