Good heck, it's been quite a crazy week here in good ol' paradise!! I hope you have all had such an amazing week and as well been able to feel the spirit in your everyday lives!!
I want to start out by saying HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even tell you guys how dang grateful I am for all the amazing examples I have had in my life, starting out with my dad and my grandpas and my coaches and leaders in the Church. Good heck, I sure have been so blessed with so many amazing examples in my life!! I hope you all had an amazing day yesterday and that you all ate a big ol juicy steak for me because I'm dying to eat one!!
Anyways, good heck the trip we had on Tuesday was terrible. 12 hours in a bus! And if you thing West Virginia was bad gramps and grams, it's a whole lot worse here! I've never been so dang sick traveling before and members from my ward gave me special pills and everything that I took. They didn't work! I puked my guts out like 5 times. But something really funny is I was going to the bathroom and the bathroom in these buses is about the same size as a bathroom on a plane. I was standing up and there were so many dang turns that I was literally flying all over the place in the bathroom. Haha.
So after 12 looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong hours, we made it to Puerto Escondido and I am finally able to tell you all that I know what true hot is. Goodness!! Literally it was raining today as we were walking to one of the members houses and I was sweating like crazy. The humidity is something else here!! Every day I take a freezing cold shower and right as soon as I turn the water off, I am sweating again. It's super awesome!!!! I definitely can't complain because we're in paradise and we're serving those people around us and it couldn't get any better!!
So to end with, we were contacting here on Wednesday and we knocked on a door about two times and said good afternoon like 5 times. Nobody came so my companion told me to let's go. But, I felt like we needed to wait so we knocked again and a lady came out of her door and let us in!! We explained that we were representatives of Jesus Christ and that we're here to share our message of happiness with her and her family. She told us that she had been looking for something like this in her life!! What a miracle it truly was!! We will continue teaching them and I sure do feel they will be baptized!!!!
I love you all so dang much and I hope that you all have such an amazing week!! You are ALL always in my thoughts and prayers!!
