Here is some more info he wrote in my letter:
I really enjoyed your letter! It is a little weird to think that you guys are still doing normal things, and I am being a missionary. It hits me every day that I am a missionary, because it seems so strange. You look forward to and imagine a mission for such a long time, that it is really weird to actually do it.
I am so excited for everyone runningwise! That sounds pretty awesome. Elder Stanger has been running with me a little bit, but not very long or very fast. We do get plenty of exercise walking and biking, but I probably will gain a bunch of weight, because we do have to do a lot of sitting on the bus and during lessons, and the members feed us almost every night.
We are allowed to listen to any music that is centered on Christ, not just motab, so most people just put music on a usb port.
Since my emails are going to be shorter, I think I am going to send excerpts from my journal so I don't have to spend all my time typing out this letter. The Miracle (or miracles) of the week, has to do with buses. We live a whole hour from our church and basically everywhere, so we spend a lot of time on the bus. Often, we miss our bus, and I get a little frustrated because we are late so often. Sometimes, this turns out to be a miracle. Multiple time we have missed the bus, and the one after it had a investigator or potential in it. It has been so amazing, and I know that God can place us in the right place with something simple, like missing a bus.
I think we found Jackie's house! (the Filipino woman) It is in the right area, and has a brand new tag on the door with the correct first initial and a Filipino last name! We are going to check that apartment every time we pass by now.
I forgot my cable to the camera, so I will try to send those photos next week. Love,
Elder Lancey Pantsy Thornton
