These are just some pics from by my house.
Well, three months in guatemala. Holy guacamole! literally. There is an avacado tree by my house, and the other day we picked about 50. They are all sitting in my house, waiting to soften up for a kickin guatemalan party...Sorry i dont update often, but hey, i am kind of busy being a missionary, and picking avacados and hauling my butt up and down a million stairs made of rotting concrete on hillsides. i am busy teaching in broken spanish on dirt floors, avoiding amoebas, and letting beautiful brown eyed little chapins play with my blond hair. Its tough to make it to the blog in times like this.The other day we stopped by a family's house and they were hauling cinder blocks up these concrete stairs and then up some rickety wooden stairs to use them to build a wall on their roof i think. who knows what they really build here, but we started hauling them also. we hauled and hauled for like an hour, and got real sweaty and dirty and sore. such a great night. And i saw a huge wierd looking spider, the size of my mano, crawl out from one concrete block i was holding. wow that was fun. Guatemala is so random.But thats all the news i have for you today!just remember, la iglesia es verdadera!!

I am all kinds of jealous of your avocado surplus. But you will be jealous of my amazing joke! The beginning is as follows:
