July 1, 2013-
They robbed me – that was the title of Elder Merrill’s subject line in
this week’s letter home! YIKES! Slight panic from Mom until she reads that he
is fine, which is the important thing truly!
Yep. It´s honestly not as bad as it sounds. Here’s
what happened: We went to another cyber-cafe, (there´s a lot here, places where
you can go to pay and use a computer) and while I was writing you, my coat
was hanging on the back of my chair. I don´t know if it fell down or maybe if it
was because I was leaning forward towards the computer screen, but when the
time came to leave, I got up and noticed that my coat wasn´t on the seat or on
the ground. I looked for it for about 15 seconds or so, then I realized, ´´I
think somebody stole my coat!´´ I asked at the front desk and they didn´t have
any lost coats or nothing, but well, I was coatless that day. It’s all good,
don´t worry, My companion is lending me an extra coat that he has, so I´m
actually quite warm. July will be cold and then August comes and things will
get to being warm again and I won´t need a coat for the rest of the mission.
But, I was robbed. Just like that.
How’s your week been? I know that North Carolina is
probably hot right now, but you and dad actually told me that it´s a rather
rainy summer over there. I hope that you get to do a lot of exploring while in
North Carolina, I saw the pictures that you sent me. I like the one of the
military boat (the battleship USS North
Carolina – Dad is a HUGE battleship fan), people get to get on it and see
what all the guns and cabins look like firsthand huh?
It sounds crazy hot in Tucson! Here, complete opposite. It´s
actually not too terribly cold to tell you the truth. We´re almost in the heart
of winter here but it´s not as bad as it could be. I looked at the weather and
over the next few days we´re supposed to have days that are 62-64 degrees in
Fahrenheit. I´m alright with that. I
hope that you guys get to have a good 4th of July even though the big one that
you were talking about got cancelled. I guess I´ll have to wait for Christmas
to see fireworks. In case you forgot, they set off fireworks for Christmas and
New Years here. Well, that should be fun. I´m still taking lots of pictures.
Well, that´s about it for now. I sure hope that you guys get
to enjoy North Carolina a little! This is your last week there right? Or are
you there for a little bit of next week too? Well, what ever the case, just
know that you´re all in my thoughts and I love you lots! Bye!
