So much to say

So much has happened in the last few weeks. I have made some new friends at the cancha. I have also learned some more Spanish, which is always good. But it is really hard to understand people because they talk to fast, I'm like, what did he say? But everything is going well. School is still allot of work, and allot of stress. But when i am having a bad day, or i am feeling homesick, i always have someone to cheer me up. Daniel, he is totally awesome. He can make me smile even when i am feeling horrible. That is always a god thing too, cause i am not always happy. And I remember that I am here for a reason, and that God has a plan for me. And his plan is better than anything that I could imagine. I just need to keep this in mind, especially when I am wondering why I am here.

So I ask that you all would continue to pray for me, and my family. Plus all the other missionaries here, because it is allot of work, and can be very stressful at times. Pray that God would give us strength, and would keep us from getting sick. Because allot of people have gotten sick lately. It seems to be going around.

I ask that you would all email me, please, it is the only way I can keep in touch with you all. You can email me at tdhobbit@yahoo.com or tdgoodling@gmail.com .
I miss you all and love you very much. Also tell everyone that you know about this page.

The hardness of concrete

For those of you who don't know, concrete is hard. It is solid, and can easily hurt you. I have experienced this many times. Why? Cause where we play soccer, Daniel and i, is totally made out of cement. It is called a cancha, and is actually pretty nice, but can be very dangerous. Especially if it is wet, which it is alot of the time, cause it rains now and then, but later it is sunny and we play. I never realized how dangerous it was to play on cement after ti rains. Wow, what a shock. It really don't like to play when it is wet, but Daniel makes me anyway. So when it gets wet, it is very slippy, no matter if u r wearing new shoes with great traction. U will still slip. So the other day, we were playing, and i was running in front of the goal to try to jump and head the ball out. Right before i was about to jump, i slipped, and landed right on the side of My head, man did it hurt, i could not see for like a couple seconds, and my head was pounding for the next couple hours. And i had a bump on my head for like a 2 weeks. Also, Daniel has had some pretty good falls. Cuts, bruises, sore ankles. And most of all, your shoes will get worn down very fast. I bought a new pair of shoes before i came down, and i like 3 weeks, they were worn out. Especially in the side of my foot, they were totally worn there, cause there was a hole from the cement, yes, the cement burned a hole in My shoe. So one night when we were playing, my foot started to hurt. and i looked down, and it had burned a hole in my shoe, then a hole in My sock, then a whole in my foot, and it was bleeding. It hurt real bad to. So i still have a mark on my foot from where that was.

But to look at it on the bright side, it is really fun to play there, even though it hurts sometimes. And it is fun to get to no some new guys, and make friends.

The sun will come out tomorrow.

Yes, the sun comes out everyday here. It is awesome! Like, it gets to be about, oh, around like 70 maybe, idk. But it is really nice, and there is no humidity, so how can u get better then that. Totally. But is also like rains almost everyday, funny i no. In the afternoon, it usually rains just a little bit, not much, just some little spritz, but some times it is like, downpour. I will have some pics up of this later. Sometime. Anyway, the people are really nice and all. Most of the guys that Daniel and i play with are really cool. They like us, and want to play with us, i guess.

But we still can not really talk to them yet u no. We need to learn more of the language, but that will take some time. We are just trying to be lights to them, and just get some relationships going. So that we can talk to them later. Please keep up the prayer.

The reason why......

So why am i making this page, and why does it matter? Well.......i just want to stay in contact with all of u in the states. U no. Plus, i want to keep u all in touch, with what i am doing, how i am doing, and other things. Also, i need some prayer, cause that is important. Plus, its just cool to have this page thingy. lol. So i hope that u like it, and that u visit it alot, and that u tell everyone about it. Tell the world that this page is.....real.

So i hope that u think its cool, and yeah. Please leave me comments, and email me alot, and everything like that. Cause i need to stay in touch. It helps alot. Alot.

This is only the beggining

We have so many stories, and so many awesome things that have happened. But this is only the beginning. Daniel and i are trying to become friends with the guys who play soccer. And just trying to be lights. Reflecting Christ. Yeah. Most of the time, i am doing well. But then there are times when i feel like..........overwhelmed with sadness. But God is always there for me, and he gives me strength everyday.

School is still like, omw, not good. But i get over it. Usually the rest of the day, after school, is totally awesome. lol. Cause we play soccer, or eat food, Or, just go think in my room. Lots of things to think about, like how am i going to learn spanish, cause i cant really talk to the guys we play with, u no. I can say a few things, but i cant get into any deep conversations. haha, hopefully that will change soon.

And my room it totally almost done. I'm sooooooo excited!!!! its awesome. i will get some pics up eventually. So u can all look at it in amazement. haha. OK well, ttyl.

Thats tragic.........

Ok, so a funny thing happened tonight while we were playing soccer. we got there at like six, and played for like an hour or so. then my ball got kicked out in the street. then place where we play is right next to the street, it is called a cancha, and it is made completely out of cement. so My ball goes into the street. and this van is going by, it runs it over, but just gets the side, so it does not pop. plus it was kinda flat, maybe that's why it did not pop. anyway. so then we like play for another half hour. then someone else kicks my ball in the street. this time it was not that fortunate. cause, just as it goes into the street, a bus just happens to be going by. and, well, it ran it over, it went right over the middle of it. WoW. it sounded like a cannon. I'm serious. and it was totally destroyed, it blew up. kinda funny, yet, not. buts it all good. i only cried for a little bit, jk.

And it is real cool cause the guys know Daniel and i, they call us by our names. and it is just really cool. i still don't know all there names. but maybe i will get them all down some day. lol.

talk to you all later....email me if u want. love u.
