He has worn out one pair of shoes already and had no hot water and has to wash his clothes by hand....ok is anyone else having a hard time believing that this is our Corban... !! Corban's email: "Hey everyone how is it going. It is going well here in Guapilo. Yeah that is the area that I am in right now. My companions name is Elder Gerber and he has been out in the mission field only three months more than I have, and he is my trainer. It is all good. I think he is doing a wonderful job, even if we are only two gringos in a place full of Latinos. It is nice to have a companion who knows English also. So far I love it here. The work is hard and the weather is hot, but it is fairly nice as of right now. The time seems to be passing by pretty quickly. I can still remember when I left the airport like it was yesterday. But I'm lovin it. Had to sit out two days this week because I had a total of 13 blisters on the bottom of my feet. Yeah it was pretty painful, but I'm all better now and ready to work my tail off like I did the last couple of days next week. I'm getting pumped for April. Get to listen to those prophets and apostles talk in general conference. It is awesome to have the opportunity to listen to them every 6 months. Seems like just yesterday we were in the house listening to them speak in October. Weird to think that 6 months have past. Just thought I would let you all know that I miss you all and that my mailing address in Bolivia should be the return address on my letters that I sent from the ccm in Peru. If you don't have it I will try and get a hold of it and send it next week. I can only send mail once a month here. Which is weird, but I have no post office in my area, which is why I can only send once a month. So just expect to get emails from me for a while. My next cambio should be some time late in April and Mothers day is coming up in late may I think. I'm not sure the exact date. Let me know that. But everything else is chill right now. So let me know everything and like I said I have p-day on Mondays now so write me letters before now so I can read them all. I love you all and know that I miss you.
Elder Schafer"
Corban sent me an extra email that told more about his shoes and that he has worn out one pair so far and is in need of another already. He also told of no hot water and washing all clothes by hand and loving it...."where is my son and what have they done to him"...a mother can only laugh. I hope that everyone is well, so until next time take care!!
