April 13, 2015 - Hello Family

Well I had an interesting week. Never a dull moment. This week I made a habinero salsa that was nice and spicy. I made it homemade. Well it turns out that touching it a lot really burns. Ya it did and it was starting to get super painful. So in desperation my comp said, ¨Put some Vicks vapor rub on it!¨ So I did it. Wow ten times worse! Oh did it burn. My hand was in a bucket of water for 3 or 4 hours until we walked to the pharmacy (with the bucket) and I bought an anti allergy pill and some hydro cortisone cream. Then I took the pill and put on the cream and went to bed. It was painful but it slowly went away. In the end I am fine and there is no permanent damage. I threw away the salsa but now I want some more again. If I do it, I'll use gloves this time!

But overall all is well! Today we played soccer. I got a little sun burnt but I am well. I am happy to be here. We had some investigators at church like always. Like 14 I think. We are just having trouble getting people to commit to baptism. That is really what we need right now. But we will keep working. 

We have some good youth to work with and they are progressing. We have also met some families but they are not progressing as of now. Hopefully soon though! I love the ward here and the members. We have great leaders! Transfers are next week but we will see what happens. I feel like I will go to a new area but we will see!

I had exchanges and that was good. A little change up which is always nice! I also gave a talk to the zone on stress and how the Area 70 President Elder Cornish put it, stress is really just pride because we are thinking about ourselves more than others. And I talked about how we need to always be serving and looking to help others so they may feel less stress. It was enjoyable. A good council that I need to put in practice as well!

Cool experience just now. I just contacted the guy at this new Internet place! Our normal one was closed. And he wants to learn more so we are going to pass by in the week. Totally worth a couple minutes of my time! The Lord always has a plan!

But cool that Duke won. Good stuff thanks for the updates. And that RSL is still fighting as always is good. Hopefully they can keep improving!

I played soccer today and that was fun too. I hope all is well and you re all happy!

Well I love you all. Be safe and keep on keepin´ on!

Love,

Elder Chez Green
