Well it sounds like everything is going well
still at home. And I had no clue it
was memorial day. But now I have an excuse
to buy some more food. Everything is
pretty awesome in the jungle. Im getting use
to the life here. The heat will take
a little longer to get use to. The past week
was even hotter I think it got up to
about 125 degrees. Crazy huh? And I have to
walk around in that. We are also in a
time of small mosquitos. So the whole zone
has a rule to use repellent the whole
day. There is a soccer stadium in my area
and the stadium lights at night have a
column of bugs. It was ridiculous the other day. It looked like the movies when the
plagues came in. literally over a million bugs from the light to the ground. Remember
stadium lights are pretty tall. But I will try and get a picture of it. And last
night because there are a lot of bugs. We were walking around last night and I
looked up and it seemed the stars were moving around. And we find out that they
were Bats. About 30 I counted. So that was pretty cool. Im starting to get to know
the members better here. It really helps now that my Spanish has progressed.
Especially when noooooone for a very long time speaks English. But im going to
be trying to call for some Americans. Especially to try and get my whole group
back in Bolivia. And about zone leader stuff is pretty crazy because this zone
has been so disorganized that we are trying to put everything together. I have
a couple missionaries that are problems but nothing too serious. My companion
is making me the financial guy because he cant handle it anymore. its ok with me.
Sounds like lebron is still playing well. Its down to the magic and cavaliers and
lakers now? I forgot who was the other team. But I don’t here anything about
basketball here. Movies a very very little bit. My branch president owns a
computer repair and dvd place. So I pass by to see what new movies he has.
That’s about it. I told him to put together heroes and 24 in some dvds when he
finds it. I hope he does. They cost 50 cents each I think. How was angels and
demons. When I was in peru I saw a billboard for that. But that’s about all I
think we have interviews this week so that’s always fun. Ummm there is nothing
really else happening. But im happy. We did have a baptism of a 9 year old this
past week. So that’s the first baptism in the jungle for me. The zone isn’t doing
too well with people with a date for baptism but I hope it gets better this week.
Anyway have a good week this week and I love yall. Thanks for writing.(lisa I
did enjoy the picture)
