Hey everyone!

This week was a lot of fun. We are seeing a lot of progress in the sector and I am happy to see a good program getting started here. We are teaching the Vera family who is really cool! At first they seemed kind of ehh as far as interest goes but they came to church and decided that they loved it! They are not married which is basically everybody here so that could be a big problem. Up till now I have never gotten a family married even though I have tried like a hundred times, but I am hoping that this is the first. The zone is doing awesome too! If we work hard and everything works out we could hit the record for the zone this month! And it has been raining a bunch here lately! It is hot rain which is cool, but the difference between here and Quito is that there are no hills here, because of that it floods pretty bad once in a while but it has been an adventure. 

But I am liking life here a lot. As long as I dont forget to put on sunscreen everyday is a good day. Have a good week everyone!

Hey Guys!

Well I got my package and it was good. You wont be suprised that I finished the Gardettoes and Peanut Butter within a few days, it is all gone now but oh man. Your comics also made me laugh pretty hard, the artwork was done especially well in Alicia and Isaacs. My companion thought that I had the wierdest family ever when he watched me pull out a beard, a very yellow tie, and a Drake and Josh book, but he really enjoyed the Boba Fett puzzle. And I am pretty excited for my t shirt, should be a  pretty cool family pic. But I dont understand what Alicias shirt means. That story about Ian and Audrey on the moped is one of the better stories that you guys have told me on my whole mission, very funny. Well life has been pretty normal around here, not a whole lot to say but I am doing well. The Vera family is a family of 7. Cool story there. A 15 year old member brought his friend to a church activity who was a kid in the Vera family, and they gave us the reference of their step son who also came to church. That is potentially 8 baptisms and I dont think this member realizes what an affect he has made on our program here. So that was a cool part of our week
