Hey everyone
what's up?!
Hope that
life is treating you well, really missing the TRUE Fall season. We just have
boat-loads of rain and mud and water and stuff. I'm now used to wet feet. But
hey, welcome to the mission!
So this week
was pretty good! We've worked a lot in the most dangerous part of the most
dangerous part of my area. It's called Sagrada Familia or Sacred Family. Most
of the houses are tin or plastic and there's a lot of pintas - or gangsters-
walking the streets. One guy was chillin in his van smoking marijuana and had a
gun that he tried to hide when I walked by. I just spoke some slang and he
spoke back - so now you could say we're chill haha.

Things are
going good with me and my comp. We're getting to the end of his training and
he's still got a LONG LONG way to go but we're going, step-by-step haha.
I've finally
gotten used to the food here now and sometime.... I kinda.. crave rice haha.
Not really, but it's pretty good. I bought a bunch or brown rice and chicken
breast and veggies. I'm gonna try to eat better and get a really good work-out
routine in - I REALLY miss working out :( haha but I'll get everything back
sometime!
Hey, this
week we have a big multi-zone conference with President Duncan - the President
of Central America and a big-whig 70. I get to do a special musical number with
5 other missionaries. We're gonna sing the mission hymn (it was written for
only our mission) acapella. It doesn't have sheet music or parts so we had to
make our own parts and it sounds REALLY good. I'll make sure to get a video of
it!

| Me relieving some stress :) |
I've been
playing a lot of guitar here and I love it because it really takes my mind off
the stress that you have in the mission. It can really eat ya alive if you let it.
That's when I just get some incense, cook some chicken and play guitar haha
:)
Well,
hopefully I'll have some cool experience to write about this upcoming week.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers on my behalf - keep those suckers
coming! haha
Love
y'all!
Pura Vida
