Aloha Family and friends,
Well another week has flown by. Life really goes much to fast. As I said last week on Monday I went to the airport to send off my old companion and pick up the new. It’s definitely different being with an American again. After being the only American in Murun for so long it is hard to remember what language to speak when. I think I’m going to just give up and only speak Mongolian. It was kind of weird to speak Mongolian with another American at first but I’m much to concerned about what little language abilities I have going to pot to care. It’s only been a week and I’m starting to notice it slipping. I guess all I can do is study hard and pray harder. I imagine The Lord will bless me when I really need it, so I shouldn’t worry too much. I’m just a born worrier, I guess.
Anyways, in other news I still haven’t seen conference in any language which is a bummer, but now the DVDs are in Murun so I should get an opportunity soon. Though I don’t know when I’ll get to see it in English seeing that there is only 1 DVD player at the church. I thought about getting a DVD player just to watch it, but for some reason they are really expensive here, so I guess I’ll just have to wait. And watch it over a few P-days or something.
The DVDs came with the new Branch President this last Saturday. He’s only been here for a few days, but he seems like he will be able to do all right. At least I hope so. He’s been a branch president before so it should be all right. This branch needs a lot of help so hopefully The Lord will bless him with the abilities necessary.
My new companion, Elder Alder, is a really good guy and he’s really falling in love with Murun. He’s a country boy to begin with; coming from a graduating class of four, and having grown up on a farm out in the middle of no-where, Utah. It’s hard not falling in love with a place like Murun where there’s just nothing piled up on more nothing. Now all the nothingness is turning green, and it’s turning into a real beautiful piece of nothing. We’re planning on taking the bikes and riding to the river next p-day,
Anyways,
Love you little less fatigued than last week missionary,
Elder Pitt
