Ok so first off these pictures are what i wake up to every morning right out my window. pretty dang awesome right? ya its gorgeous here in SPS. Especially at dawn. I dont wake up to early, just at 6:15 and its just part of the way of living on the equater. It gets light at 6 and gets dark at 6. its pretty strange but im still getting used to it. So this week has been pretty busy. We are actually stilling the idea of an activity from the singles ward, where there is an hour of games to be played. There are two types of games, the spiritual, and the wordly. We are going to have a box of books of mormon so people can write their testimony and such. one thing that is super cool is that people will be gaining tickets. 3 for the espiritual and 1 for the world games. with these they will be able to really think about what things we should focus on. the espiritual, or the wordly.  its a pretty cool activity that we have been busting our butts to plan. we are loving it, and hoping that a huge turnout is able to make it to the activity! i miss facebook and using that to invite and advertize activites... Its so much esier then having a couple groups of people running around inviting and reminding everyone the three days before XD BUT other than that, this week has been great! we are working on finding people who want to listen to this gospel and its been an experience, let me tell you. The funniest is when kids run out and say no one is home, then we ask why, so they go and ask why no one is home, and they say alot of the time, "they say they arent home because of this..." and we really cant force them to listen to us, but its still funny. We just enjoyed our time alot this week and came back with some great families. Some times it is hard for me to realize that is actually impossible for people to leave their house without anybody guarding it? i cant remember the english word... cuidandolo... meh, those who can remember can tell those who cant. BUT if they are the only ones home they cant leave for church. Its super dangerous to do here in this city. Just another thing that proves to me that i am indeed a gringo and i don't live in kansas anymore. BUT i am so thankful for this time. When we have been able to help families grow closer... Its a wonderful experience that i have been able to be a part of. Also i know that some of you might want to start thinking about either christmas or birthday packages, and this are the few things ill need. Letters, candy, white shirts, and socks. Or if you dont want to spend the money on shipping you can send me the money through my mom and ill buy the white shirt and or socks here. but who doesnt like packages? Also as Elder Evans said in April 2012 general conference. "We can write of Christ by writing letters to those who are away. Missionaries serving, sons or daughters in the military, and those we love are all blessed by letters we write. Letters from home are not just quick e-mails. Real letters provide something tangible that can be held, thought about, and cherished." -Elder Evans  Just a thought here from honduras. And thank you to all of you who have sent me letters! They are all cherised and will be responded upon. And again if you are a working college student and have no money or such, there is still dearelder, which still is tangable, just not in your words, and thats ok too. Well thats enough begging, just remember that i love you all, and i know with a surity that the work i am doing here is guided by God, and i should be here.
