May 2013

5/6
Hello,
Things are going pretty good. For my birthday, I am having the sisters make some Texas sheet cake that will be pretty awesome! The President told me last year: "One more year and you will be legal." I said Legal for what President; kids start drinking here when they are twelve.  I don’t think they really care what age you are, they usually send their ten year old children to buy them beer in the market.  Anyways, I think maybe I will eat out on Friday. There is a nice restaurant here called Spur. My time here seems short, but still seems far away.  However, time is going by pretty fast.  I think it is because I am with another experienced missionary. I don’t have to teach him what to do, he just knows. The teaching is great, because we are both experienced it run a lot smoother.  I think that makes is go by fast. 
Now that I am the Zone leader I make the rules.  I don’t have a Zone leader breathing down my neck saying: do this and do that!  Some Zone leaders are so tight, they are just like Robots, but I am a pretty chill person.  I work hard during the day and then relax and have fun in the evening.  Some missionaries don’t understand that sometimes that it’s okay to have fun.  Without having some fun it makes their missions really long. 
I wouldn’t mind staying in this area until I finish.  The couple’s missionaries want to move us to an unsafe place.  It is a lot like a ghetto in the U.S.  My companion and I already talked about it, and we won’t stay in that house.  If they want us to stay there then they are going to have to transfers us and remove us as zone leaders.   I don’t think they will it states right in the white hand book "housing should be Safe, clean and economical it should allow you to Maintain your Privacy and the dignity of your calling." so they can’t argue with me.
That’s all for now
Love Devin
