Hey everybody,
I have finished my first full week in the Puebs (short
for Pueblo Nuevo). It was a super busy week and everyday flew by super fast. We
were going back and forth from Piata (30ish minutes away) everyday. So lots of
traveling. But my new companion is Elder Schneider he is 6´ 5" from
Snowflake, and holds New Mexico's state record for the longest touchdown
pass, 99.5 yards. He is also really good at the uke and is super funny. He is
the bomb.
My area here is super cool, we are far away from everything (which I love). We are also over 2 small little pueblitos (or tiny towns) and the only
way to get there is to take a 20 minute moto ride, then take a 10 minute boat
ride (but they push it with a stick). We have to go there weekly to collect the
tithing from out there. So that is pretty neat.
Our family group here is super
small, they meet below us (technically in our house), with about 30 people in
attendance. Its super small, and so much different than all my other wards I've
been in. I also have a calling, I play the music in sacrament meeting. I but
the DVDs in the DVD player, find the song on the disc and hit play, then change
the disc and find the next song. (I'm going to try to talk to the branch
president and get an electric keyboard so I can actually play). This week we
also woke up Saturday morning and didn't have any water, so we waited and
waited, and nothing. So we were super gross all of Saturday. Then Sunday woke
up, and again no water, so again no shower. We go to church, and then after
church there was water, so we hurry up and get ready to shower, my companion
showers, then right as I hop in, the water cuts out again, so a showered with 3
water bottles of water. Then this morning we finally got water back and I was
able to shower. We also have a member who works a burger shop, so every other
night we get free burgers and they are soooo good. That's about it for the week,
every day in the best day ever.
Love,
Elder Gruber
