Well, not much to say. So I’ll try to make it interesting. Maybe you could publish it as a children’s story or something.
“Once upon a time there was a missionary named Elder Schroeder.
“He was from the United States and was serving his mission in Peru.
“Every day the drunk people and the little kids in the street would say hi to him, but they didn’t actually know any words in English. So sometimes they said other words in English, like ‘Yes!’ and, ‘Howryoo?’ for some reason that Elder Schroeder still doesn’t understand. Sometimes they yelled things like, ‘¡Gringo!’ because that’s the term for white people here, which makes a little more sense but still is a little weird. So he decided to start yelling, ‘¡Peruano!,’ the term for Peruvian people, when they did that so it wouldn’t seem as strange. But it still is.
“Elder Schroeder was a good missionary, but some days he had a lot of trouble because he forgot how to speak Spanish, and other days he forgot how to teach, too. Of course, this makes it really hard to do your job as a missionary because you kind of need to be able to speak and teach to help people to change their lives for the better. So that wasn’t great.
“Sometimes this happened for an entire week, like when he taught about the Book of Mormon. The people needed to ask his companion what he’d said because it didn’t make sense. So his companion had to explain it all over again.
“Elder Schroeder had a good companion named Elder Ushiñahua.
“Elder Ushiñahua was a good missionary, but sometimes Elder Schroeder got a little angry with him because they were always late for everything. Elder Ushiñahua didn’t get ready until when they needed to leave, and sometimes they were 30 minutes late for meetings with other missionaries because he took so long to do his stuff. He tried talking to him about it, but it didn’t really work because they were still really late.
“Elder Schroeder had a good district. The district had the two of them and two hermanas. Sometimes they ate breakfast at the church so they could practice teaching.
“The hermanas were good missionaries. They always did better than Elder Schroeder and Elder Ushiñahua, which is a good thing. But the zone leaders always bothered Elder Schroeder because he should be the example and should be the best in his district. Elder Schroeder wasn’t very happy with that, but when you forget how to speak Spanish it’s a little hard sometimes. But he’s trying to do better.
“So Elder Schroeder is good, but he’s tired.”
