Glad to hear that your trip to destin went well. I told you the place was nice. Last week was pretty good. It was hot alll week and then came the famous south winds. Its interesting how this place can be at 120 degrees and drop to about 50 in one day. It was really really cold. Friday night it kind of snuck up on us and we didnt have jackets so we went to every house and they let us borrow a blanket. But now its getting a little more hotter. I keep hearing that august and september are the worst months of the year due to the heat so we will see how that goes…there was a little problem with a companionship last week and one had to leave early and his companion was with us a couple days. So that was a little more difficult doing everything with 3 people. But he left this morning for santa cruz so we are back to normal. We have changes this week. And they are sending me a new compaion so im not alll alone up here. Im pretty sure the americans came back but im not for sure for sure. I will know next week when i fly back to santa cruz. Its crazy to believe i have already been here in riberalta 3 months! I didnt hit me till last week until someone told me that. The zone finished pretty well in baptisms as well. So im pretty happy overall. My health has been pretty good, i got a little runny nose/sore throught for a day because of the cold but other than that i have been good. The cough drop HALLS here is sold as a candy and for pretty cheap. So i buy them often to keep from my sore throught. And i will be buying a camera today i think it will be coming out to be around 200 dollars. Which isnt too bad for here, its a cybershot. Thats really all thats been going on the big thing was the cold last week. And we did have a baptism of a 16 year old and she looks like she will stay in the church. She made a lot of decesions to change and get baptized so that was good. Thats about all thats going on thanks for writing and i will have more for yall next week. Love yall…. The church is true (aint no doubt about it) o ya before i forget. Maybe there is someway you can send me the site of somwhere i can go fast to about college and print out stuff so i can read when im in the house (that would be a lot of help) please, thanksElder Cheesman
