The internet is ridiculously slow today so I am hoping I can at least get this sent off…anyhoo, things are going well here, lets see… not too many adventures going on this week. The work is a little slow, we have had some fechas fall and its getting a little frustrating. But I know if we just step it up with a little more faith then we can pull through. Anyhoo, so i guess that’s the price we pay for living in the most beautiful area in the mission. So this week we headed down the mountain for zone conference, and that was fun. We got ICE CREAM!!! They don’t have that really here in senahu, but it is down in the valley. And it was my companions birthday, on the 21st, and dads as well. And if I did the math right, HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY DAD!! Holy cowser! And Audrey, happy birthday on the 24th!!! I hope you have a great day. I am not really exactly sure how old you are, and you probably don’t want to think about it anyway, because I am younger and already don’t like to think about my age… but HAPPY B DAY ANYWAY!
Lets see, oh, so zone conference, we went down, had a great time, interviews went well, president said most likely I will end my mission out in polochic which makes me pretty excited….then we ended late and had to stay the night in Teleman, because there are no trucks that go up the mountain at night. Then the next morning in the same foggy contacts and skirt, we headed up the muddy slide they call a road. We hopped in the back of a truck, followed by three really really gay men that were stylists, they said… I find it strange to still run into weirdos like that. They told us we were beautiful and we told them about the book of mormon. It was funny. Oh man, we were up in the mounaint the other day and we decided to eat lunch up there. As we were eating our PB and Hs at the lookout, all these qeqchis came out to watch us. They loved watching us, so we went to talk to them. They wanted to know all about the book we carried, and they wanted us to take pictures of them "reading" it…they can't read but they liked it. So we made an appt and came back to teach them. I might have told you about them last week. But anyhoo, the cool thing is we came back and they were all gathered around to listen, and even though they can't read, they wanted the book, and they were going to have their kids who CAN read, read it to them. And they they sent us to all their neighbors' houses. Its just proof that the book or mormon is powerful. It seems simple to write it out, but really to be here and see the desire they had about it, because they recognize who we represent and the people here have a faith I don’t pretend to understand. They are tough. But, its good. Anyhoo I am getting windy and I am not even sure I will be able to send this. Stupid slow email. Love you all. Have a great week!!!
