9-9-07 Hello.... did you get my pictures? well.... this week has felt like 5
weeks put into one... things have been pretty difficult with my comp.
ummmmm I really dont have much to say... I'm sorry this week has just
been a struggle .... I love you... hope you have a good week. Elder

The following week he explained a little more: 9-17-07 Hello... thanks for all the prayers... prayer is funny...I know how to
use it... like I can use a cell phone... but I don't fully understand how
it functions... I could feel a difference during the week and I knew
that people were praying for me....maybe someday I will be able to
understand prayer completely. Yeah so this week was a bit better. Part
of the reason why it has been a struggle with my comp is because it is
difficult for us to communicate.... his English is really broken... and
he cant explain things to me sometimes.. we both really like each other
it just gets really frustrating sometimes.... but things sound good
back home... this week someone was supposed to feed us on Sunday but
they forgot and none of the missionaries had food.. so they came over to
our boarding and I tried to cook up some stuff to keep us going until Sunday... Chicken.. veg.. with this sauce stuff... It was ok... plus it
was healthy. Well I cut my hair today...I have administered over 30
haircuts on mission... to people from 5 different countries... that's
pretty cool eh?
I have enjoyed reading these letters from Bryce! Some weeks are like that. There were times I didn't get much from my missionary and it left me a little empty. I guess when you read between the lines, you can get volumes.
