Hi everyone,

 

Dear friends, please send me letters by DEAR ELDER. I can't write you by email and there is a possibility I can get in trouble if i have emails in my inbox from people who are not family.

Next week is Carnaval, so I won´t be writing. Saturday afternoon, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, we will be in the house, except to go to church and maybe a few appointments close to our house. We don't want to get soaked with dirty water and paint!

I sent a hand written letter to Tracee- it has the letter i wrote when my companion had dengue. Sending letters is a little hard since the only post office is in El Centro and it´s not possible to go there very often. We are so crazy busy all the time also it's kind of far. But we went last Monday and it was nice. We went to the plaza and the post office and also we ate chicken in a restaurant, yummm. It was fun. I'm trying to send pictures but they´re loading very slowly.

We bought boots in the Feria. There is a fair every Thursday in the street that is close to our house. Tons of people set up tents and sell used clothes. I bought a purse there that had goodwill tags on it a while back. I got big black boots that go up to my knees. I feel like I'm wearing combat boots kind of. But they are fun, Hermana Castro bought them too. It rained like crazy this week, but it's fun to walk through puddles and mud. Very few of the roads we walk on are paved.

Evelin still doesnt want to change. Her biggest obstacle is changing her style of dress. She dresses in short shorts and mini skirts. We are frustrated with her we will probably stop teaching her this week. It's sad but it has to be done. She knows it's true but doesn't want to do anything about it. We also brought a member her same age and she made a comment that made Evelin uncomfortable...sad. She thinks that being a member of the church will change her personality and form of being, but that is totally not true! The gospel only makes you happier.

We are praying super hard to have a baptism in the month of March. We trust the Lord but it has been hard going. All the people we find don't progress. Please pray for us! I know prayer can do anything!!

Changes are soon but Hna. Castro and I will probably be together still since we have less than 1 cambio working together. We don't want to leave yet!!

Haha, so I didn't eat the chicken foot. But I did eat the soup. It was good. everyone here has chickens that they raise for eggs and to eat. Some people have ducks too, and most people have dogs. There are 4 dogs that live in our house: Muñeca, Carito, Cabezon, and I ca't remember the other one's name. They are pests. I don't like dogs. sometimes we see dogs fight in the street.

Love you all. Hasta luego.
