Q&A - August 11, 2010

1. You talked about fishing in a shirt and tie last week in your email. Does that mean that you wear your dress clothes even on pday if you go out in public? Are you wearing your dress clothes this very moment?
ya, we aren't allowed to wear normal clothes in this mission outside of our homes. so ya my normal clothes don't get much use! right now i'm in mission attire.

2. Will the changes that you mentioned about zone conferences and other meetings affect how often you are able to get your mail now? If so, do you know yet how often you will be able to get your mail?
i mean, as far as we know, yes. the only problem is, here in ponte nova, the only time we see missionaries, besides ourselves in the mirror, is at zone conference. normally, people will have their district bring them mail if someone goes into bh but we don't have that luxury so we will be getting mail less often i think...who knows yet tho?

3. Do the changes affect how often transfers will happen?
transfers are still every six weeks.

4. How often does President Parrella visit your area?
so far he has been here once since i've been here. we are literally in the middle of nowhere so we are 4 hours from the closest missionary. it takes a good chunk of a day to visit ponte nova.

5. What have you been studying lately during your personal study time?
lately, i have been reading jesus the christ and pregar meu evangelho...preach my gospel. never enough time tho to actually study everything i want to.

6. Do you have questions for us this week?

1. what is imdb saying about the green zone with matt damon?
2. what type of banana do we eat in the united states?
3. how are the journals coming?
4. what's everyone in the family's favorite scripture and why?
