Letter from the field...





Yo. weve met a ton of way cool people the last week, we trackted into a familily clear the hech up on the mountain and theyre awsome weve already taught them 3 lessons, got them to come to church and theyre getting baptized on the 28th. we have another baptism this week for a lady who has been going to church for a while now but her boyfriend wont marry her and wont get out of her house but we slapped him around with the word of god and he left so she can get baptized now. we taught a solid family last night and i feel pretty good about them. we have tons of investigators with tons of potential its exciting. the biggest obsticle we have here is marriage nobody here is married and they just live with eachother. we miss out on a lot of baptising opertunites because of it. ive looked at every store in villa hermosa and havent found one penguino and theres like 50 little stores it sucks, but i did buy myself some peanut butter and honey and its awesome. it was way freakin expensive tho and its almost gone. my shoe split already yesterday, sucky but i glued it back together and its all good now, i think its cause we walk so much we figured that we walk about 6 miles a day on rocky trails so i guess its not suprising that our shoes are getting wasted. today for pday were going to play soccer with the mexicans and look f0r penguinos at the super market. my comp had to go to the hospital on wednesday cause he has a colon infection and so i went on exchanges with an elder down here in the city. it was a good change of pace and i ran into a sister missionary who rode on the plane with us down to peru from arizona that finished her mission it was pretty funny. i bought her panda at the airport and her mom was talking about a missionary doing that for her and it was me  haha weird huh. i remembered my camera so ill send those pics over to ya. that awsome to hear everythings going so good there and that works so busy, im excited to see what it will be like when i get back. my stomach is better now still not normal but probably wont ever be if i have to eat the same freakin thing every day. spanish feels like its come to a hault which sucks hopefully i can hurry up and learn it cause i want to be able to just talk with these people instead of playing pictionary with them all the time haha. everythings good tho, most days are good some days i want to just go back home but all and all its fine. how are you liking your new mower? tell jeff i said good job with the duramax. did you replace the tranny in the jeep yet? get that dog all trained up for when i get home. ill send those pics in another email, send me some more when ya get a chance. tell everyone i said hey and ill talk to ya again in a week. love ya-kode

I had to laugh reading this post...reminded me of my time in Argentina. I thrashed my shoes too. And no one was married there either. Good times!
