Week 94 - Quinindé - Yeah...this is my mission

Stories for the pictures

1) We were teaching a lesson when this half-drunk half-high guy comes over to us and says he has something to show us. He kept telling us the name of this thing by neither my companion nor I knew what he was talking about. He then told us it is commonly known as a crocodile. So, we went behind the back of this shed and he pulls out what I'm holding in the first picture. He also pulled out this turtle shell, saw there was nothing in it, and tossed it. We figure the croc ate it.

2) We were looking for this guy that was a referral and couldn't find it. We asked if there was anybody in this path that goes off to nowhere. They said the family might live there. Well, we just walked into the jungle and see if we could find anything. He did not live there, but we got a cool pic.

3) This is one type of insects that exists here. It's bigger than half the size of a Book of Mormon.

Week 87 - Quinindé - Tristezas y Lluvia

We have had some crazy rainstorms this week. There was not a single night that we did not come home absolutely soaked. But we had fun playing in the rain! I know it was nice two days ago to come home dry, but then it rained yesterday so we couldn't enjoy it that much.

This week we had plans to go to a place that is called Guayacana. It is another ward that we are in charge of that we haven't gone to visit my entire time here. We had everything packed up ready to go, when the member that we coordinate our work there told us that there aren't people to baptize there and due to the rainstorms buses couldn't make it to the city. We decided it was best then not to go. We were both really sad about that, but I'm hoping to go there again sometime. 

Love you guys! I hope everyone has such a great week this week!

(we took the picture in the street right when a huge lightning bolt hit. That's why it looks like it is daytime)

Week 86 - Quinindé - Bautismos!

This week we had three baptisms. They were three kids: Jon Jairo, Isaac, and Steven. They were super

excited about it!  Their dad also attended so we are hoping that he will start to listen to us so that all the

family can be members.  Other than that these last two weeks have been pretty bland. Hence, why I

haven't written much. But I love you all and hope everyone is doing spectacular!

p.s. The pictures didn't want to upload. I'll get that to you next week.
