Hola!

So, that waterfall we hiked to the other day, we are teaching the owner of the "resort" and the waterfall!! His name is Jorge and when we were all there he felt something really different. The people we hiked up with are his friends and after we left he called them and was like hey, I want them to come back. I felt really good while they were here. So yeah, pretty stoked to start teaching him. I think I have made the decision that when I get back to the states and find my wife, we are honeymooning here in Marcala! Hahahaha!

I no longer have a toenail on my right big toe. It was ingrown pretty bad. I have pictures that Im going to send lol. But, The doctor ripped it out on thursday night I believe. and it feels pretty funny not having a toenail there.... It only costs here 25 bucks for them to take out the nail. She put a bunch of anestesia in my toe but I still felt it. But I was a man and didnt cry :)

Left my camera at home by accident, so no pictures this week.

We moved houses today. Missionaries have lived in our old house for years and we ran into some people that arent the safest.... So we moved into a bigger and better house!! Its two stories and its got a HUGE frontyard. Like we are going to set up a volleyball net or something. Its gonna be fun!

So a good experience that I had this week. My companion and I were outside walking. It had just stopped raining. And we found one of the members of our branch in the street... Drunk. His name is Luiz And we were like ahhhh man. Cayo un otro vez... We talked to him and I felt like we should drop what we were doing and take him to one of the members that I had baptized. The familia Suazo. And we did it, and holy smokes, I had no idea that they were so ready to help and to support Luis. Turns out that that the Hermano Suazo's dad had problems with alcohol and all sorts of stuff and he had a lot of persoal experience to share with him. He shared the story of Jesus and the adulterous woman and was like "we are no better than you and you no better than us. Your family needs you and we are here to help." I was like YES!!!! This was mas o menos a intervention lol (more or less an intervention). But after all was said and done I gave Luis a blessing and he has been sober since that day. Like over a week now. He had been drunk for like 6 weeks straight or something like that.

And what I learned from that experience was that I have to always be in a state when I can listen to the spirit. And I need to be always praying that I can understand what Father wants me to do.

Thanks for all your love and support. The Church is true.

I took some money out of my account to fix up the new house, and to pay for taxis. There are some hills and mountains that are pretty steep and i cant climb them very well with my bad toe.
