Jakob was able to call us today for Mexican Mothers Day! He was almost 2 hours later than the scheduled time, but we finally got our phone call. We were even able to see him and have a good visit for over an hour!
A few things from our conversation I don't want to forget. We were asking about the houses there. He said they are pretty small, made of cinder block and all have bars on the doors and windows. He and his companion have to be in an hour early and there are no sisters because the area is "sketchy". These are things a mom doesn't want to hear. He said "sorry... we are all safe inside our cinder block houses with bars on the walls." Oh, good.
His companions also got on and said the "Elder Schramm is very crazy on his bike!" Jakob said he always wears his helmet, but has crashed pretty good a few times. The comps said he has no fear on that bike. Hummm.
Jakob got his birthday package and really liked that. He said I needed to stop sending him tic tacks though. Alright. I guess. There were several jokes about me sending too many of those. When we ended the phone call I asked him if he needed anything else and he said laughing "Maybe some tic tacks?" Funny boy. Funny boy.
We had a great time visiting with Jakob. He sounded great, was happy, and seemed to get along with his companion and the other Elders in the area.
