So great to hear from you again! Sorry if this is cut short, our day got crunched today cuz we spent three hours at the police station trying to get my companions visa renewed. Thank you for keeping me updated on the political stuff. Im glad to hear that Romney is doing so well. I wouldnt mind Santorum either, but I prefer Romney. It was interesting because the second question we got asked in that class was what we thought about Romney. I just told them that Ive been a little out of the looåp for 5 months, but that I like him, and am hoping for him, but that id be just as happy with Santorum. I also said that I feel any of the candidates would do a better job than Obama has done. They were all stunned. They all love Obama here. They like the idea of a high tax and government money being given to the lower class...because thats what they have here. But when i told them America is more about making what you can of yourself and keeping what you earn, and paying the neccesary taxes for roads, police, and all that. But that obamas attempt to socialize America was met with a majority of America disagreeing. That his support has plummeted, and that our constitution and way of life are different. Another person asked if we thought we were better than everyone else. We told him that we like where we live better, but that we dont think of the rest of the world as inferior by any means. It was an interesting discussion. I wish it would have lasted a bit longer. But it went well, they were all very respectful.
Other than that it sounds like things are going well for everyone else. Em told me about the lean on the house she was looking at and that its not going to work. Thats too bad, but Im betting they find a much better place.'
As for the language. My understanding has skyrocketed, but my speech just cant seem to make it past my lips. Im working on it though, Itll come.
I dont have a whole lot else to report this week. Did you ever get some info on my doctrinal question i asked about a few weeks back? Im still curious on your insights.
Well...I guess ill end here. Still got to do some grocery shopping. . Cant wait to hear from you again next week.
