Buenas tardes,
It's been a busy week. We did a lot of work preparing people to go to the temple this past Saturday. We left at 5:00 AM, all jam packed in a big van, (24 in total), and headed towards the temple. About half-way there one of the back tires blew up, so we had to stop and get that fixed. It wasn't bad though. We finally arrived at the temple at about 10:30, and 8 members got their patriarchal blessings. Afterward, a couple stayed in the Visitors Center, (including Maria that was just baptized), a few others did baptisms for the dead, and the rest of us went up for an endowment session. Afterward a member that was also recently baptized into the church, David Beltran, had his Melchizedek Priesthood interview done from President Hicken. On the way home we got pulled over for no reason and that was another 45 minute delay and another 1000 pesos, (80 dollars). But, we got home safe and sound around 10:15 at night. It was a good trip.
It's been raining every day this week. Rain here in Molango is not your average rain. It'll pour super hard for five minutes and the streets turn immediately into rivers. No one is outside either. It's way beautiful though. The other day we went hiking to see an investigator, and she lived up in the mountain ha ha. Right as we were saying the closing prayer of the lesson, it started to pour. We had no choice but to go and enjoy it. We walked down the muddy river-street and just loved it. By the time we got home to change, our shirts were completely see through and my brown pants I was wearing magically turned to black. I'll send you a picture of one I took from on the way up to that house just before the rain started.
We've had to sweep water out from our porch everyday so it doesn't flood in the house. When we were gone all day Saturday we got back to water that had snuck in under the door about 5 feet in. But nothing was lost, on the contrary, a lot of neat experiences were gained. :)
Good job Nathan! I'm excited to hear all about your experience!
Also Dallin, I need a picture of you in your new suit! Way to go bud, you'll be an excellent Deacon along with your little buddies like Todd and Bryan.
It's always good to hear that all is well. Or at least that nothing bad has really happened :) We are here to have trials, and we're here to enjoy them. We knew completely about that when we covenanted to come down here in the first place. Always remember to just "Smile Away!"
I love you all and don't you ever forget it!
