Unfortunately, Elder Read didn't have the cable for his camera yesterday when he wrote his e-mail, so there are no new photos this week. But he bought a new suit yesterday morning as clothes wear out on a mission! And then, it being P-day, went and played football with some members and non-members. He needs the exercise, he says. For his daily exercise he is only able to do stretching and weights as his companion doesn't like running. On the other hand, Elder Read does like running, but he's managed to reduce his stomach a little. Haha, he says!
One day last week they went to eat an American restaurant. "Yum yum yum yum yum!!"
His new suit fits him well. He got it from Zara, he says, and it is grey -(a good missionary colour I say.) Hopefully he'll send us photos of him in it next week.
Elder Read and his companion had interviews with President Deere, the mission president, last week. Something President Deere told him that had a major impact was the following: " The Book of Mormon explains the atonement of Jesus Christ better that any other book." I very much concur with Elder Read when he says that is so true, and find Alma particularly good. He had the opportunity to share that with members at a family home evening on Thursday, which happened to be the same day as the interviews and special training.
It is very hot where they are at the moment. He's already used to it and he loves it. On Sunday the temperature dropped a little and he felt cold. It was 28 degrees!! What's he going to do when he comes home?
As ever, Elder Read says everything is going "super well" or "super bien" as he puts it in Spanish. A few weeks ago he started to read the Triple Combination, and just over a week ago started the Bible. He's got as far as Exodus 21 and he wants to finish the whole Bible by the end of his mission. But he's got under four months left so he'll see what happens. He says that if he doesn't finish it on the plane on his way home he's not going to let President Gilmour release him until he has!!! "Wait, President; I've got to finish Revelations before you can release me.!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Last week a lot members from their branch went to the temple, including their less-active member whose daughter was recently baptised. He says this points to the reach out and rescue campaign they're going to have this coming week-end.
Elder Read dice:
Pues no tengo el cable para mi cámara entonces no puedo mandarles fotos.... Pero compré un nuevo traje y acabamos de jugar fútbol con algunos miembros y no miembros :) Necesito el ejercicio. Por la mañana solo hago flexiones o pesas. Mi compañero no le gusta correr. Sino me gustaría ir a correr. Y bajar un poco la barriga jaja :P
Bueno la semana pasada fuimos a comer en un restaurante americano. yum yum yum yum yum!! Me comí un costillar entero. y todavía tenía hambre entonces me comí un postre que se llamaba "Death by chocolate" no creo que tengo que explicar como era jaja .P
El traje me queda bien; es de Zara. Color gris.
Tuvimos entrevistas con presidente la semana pasada :) Algo que me dijo que me impactó mucho era lo siguiente: " the book of mormon explains the atonement of Jesus Christ better that any other book" es verdad. Tuve la oportunidad de compartir eso con los miembros en una noche de hogar el jueves (el mismo día de las entrevistas y el entrenamiento especial)
Aquí hace un montón de calor. Me ya estoy acostumbrado y ahora me gusta :) De hecho ayer bajó un poco la temperatura y tenía frío jaja :P y eso que hacía 28 grados. Me dio frió jajaja :P
Pues todo va super bien de verdad. Hace algunas semanas acabé de leer la combinación triple ya llevo una semana y pico con la biblia. Voy por Éxodo 21. Todavía me queda mucho jaja :P Pero quiero leerla entera antes que termine mi misión. Me queda menos de 4 meses jaja :P A ver lo que pasa. Si no lo terminaré en el avión. Y si no, no voy a dejar al presidente Gilmour que me releva antes que la termino jaja :P "espere presidente, me queda Apocalipsis" jaja :P
Esta semana hay muchos miembros que se van al templo. Nuestra conversa reciente y su madre menos activa también se van :D eso significa que este fin de semana tendremos un rescate!!! :D :D :D :D: D :D :D

Elder Read's new suit reminds us of his shoes that wore out - above - and now he says his scriptures have had so much use - below - that they too are very well worn!
El traje nuevo de Elder Read nos acuerda de sus zapatos gastados - arriba - y ahora dice que sus escrituras estan igual - abajo.
