Woo!! Ok so first off this week has been nuts... I am in a great place called San Jorge, and we are actually working with our branch to become a Ward soon! the problem is there are alot of problems with church attendance... back in the day there were a bunch of missionaries who would baptize little children and not their families so they could have better numbers so the rama has been suffering because of it... But my companion has been here working hard on strengthening this area! I will probably be here for 4.5-6 months so i will be working on that as well! The country is so green... humid so i am sweating 100% of the time, but... its hot! I can hand the sweat and all that but the heat is bad... Also, the people here like to throw their trash everywhere... If i could change 1 thing that would be it. The people are super friendly and welcoming, the food is AMAZING!!! but... the trash brings down the beauty of the area... But that is the only problem! the heat i will get used too plus the rainy season is about to start, so i wont have to deal with the heat that much. Just... wet... everywhere... Well there are chickens everywhere in this area as well... And i am going to get in VERY good shape here. TONS of hills!! we are in the mountainside pretty much so tons of hills and walking for Elder DeGriselles... Well me and my companion are actually getting along really really well! his name is Elder Porter, and he is from Ogden Utah. Great guy and he has been pushing me hard! well not much time but i do know i can do so much good here... I am glad to be here! Que la vaya bien!! (something they say here. may it go well with you pretty much...) Elder DeGriselles
