We have owned rental property in a Hispanic community for several years, and our manager, Iginio now has a hot dog stand. We were at his place one night and they offered Allan a hot dog. He had bacon wrapped hot dogs with all the fixings. It was very tasty. We had to send a picture to Spencer and of course he got a kick out of it. Spencer also explained about the phone call. He is so funny.

Those pics of Iginio
are really funny cuz I see those all over the place and they put a crap load of
stuff on them. Ya so that whole thing yesterday I couldn’t believe that that
member did that. His name is José Espinosa. He is a real prankster. He is a way
cool guy and they are the family that gives us the best food all week long. Ya
so what happened was people always seem to have like 2 phones because there are
2 major cell companies here, Calro and Tigo, and to call the states is really
cheap. So what I did is I had one of his phones and put the home phone number
in and said I wonder what my mom would do if I called here right now as a joke.
So he asked me for my number I thought he was just kidding but he really did
it. That’s why when you answered I was really shocked. I almost let you hang up
but. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity, hahaha.
But this week was
normal. We did have stake conference and they mainly just talked about the
temple and being on time, because this is Latin America plus Mormon time these
people always start late. So we will see how that goes, hahaha. But it’s crazy
how fast the time goes. There is only 2 weeks left in this change. I can’t believe
it.
So the few questions. We
take both taxi and bus. When we go to our far areas there are some places that
the taxis go to but to get to a place to Jacaleapa we have to take the bus or
if we are tired because the lady that
washes our clothes lives like a 20 minute walk from our house. So
depends on what we are doing that day. We will sometimes take a taxi so it all just
depends. But just imagine this about the taxis -the worse little cars in the
world that nothing on the dashboard works and they are all manual. The buses
are all school buses.
But this next week we
are going to have a baptism. The kids name is Ricardo. He is a cool kid. When
we were in charge of that other area, a member brought him to church, and then
we found out that he was part of another ward. But before that one Sunday he
showed up to church by himself and asked us if we could talk privately, and we
thought he was going to tell us something bad he did or something like that. But he basically was like, so I really feel good
here, when can I get baptize? He wanted
us almost to fill up the font right then and there to baptize him. But we told
him that we had to teach him a few things and he would be good to go. So we
ended up having to pass him to the other missionaries. Then a week ago he came
to our building on his own again and said that he wanted us to teach him
and wanted to go to our ward so we are going to baptize him this coming week.
Today in the morning
we did our first hike to a place called Piedra de Piwis. It was one of the
hardest hikes I have ever done. When we got to the actual mountain it was just
a strait up mud path all the way up so it made it really hard, but a lot of fun.
I got a few pics of that I’ll get you a pic of that other stuff next week.
But I’m doing good. Doing
the best I can, trying to be as humble and patient as I can. I love
you all keep working hard.
Love

ps. so the other day I
found some new shoes. They are Rockport shoes from an American store I got them
for 500 limps. But I’m running a little low on pisto (money). If you could send
me some money and let me know about it next week and also send how much I have
in my bank account that would be awesome.
