First off I´m
in the city of Santa Cruz but I am about 20 or 30 minutes out from the center.
Our area is really just like Tijuana. Houses thrown together with a lot of
barbed wire and pieces of plywood. The streets are just dirt except the main
roads, those are concrete. We ride in Micros. That´s a small bus that everyone
takes. Micro is pronounced Me-crow. I can´t stand up straight in most of them.
I am really tall here. I think it´s the elevation. haha
We talk to people in the streets and get references
but no knocking doors, mostly because there are no doors. People have houses
with some area around it like our yard and then a fence that´s thrown together
with barbed wire, sticks to keep it upright, and a plywood gate.
Something that
suprised me was that I thought I would be walking a lot more. By that I mean,
maybe I´m just strong enough and prepared enough that walking all day doesn´t
hurt.
We have a Pensionista, who is a lady from the ward who cooks lunch for us
everyday. Big one too. We have breakfast every morning but sometimes not
dinner. We workout every morning and I am staying in shape.
If people ask about
how I´m doing just say, He´s being the best missionary in all of Santa Cruz. I
am working hard everyday and I come home tired every single day. I talk in
lessons, bear testimony and get baptisimal dates. I am being a Missionary.
You´re probably crying by now so that´s good. I don´t have my camera
today and it´s hard to send pics on this slow internet but I will try next
week. Till then I love you and all of the family.
Love Always, Elder Kalen Indiana
