A Tar Heel in El Salvador: April 18, 2011

That's freaking crazy with the tornadoes. That is some sad stories, especially with the one trailer where the tree just came down on them. That's crazy...I miss a lot of big things here. Snow, tornadoes. Maybe I need to come back to put the weather back in its place...haha...jk. But I'm glad you all are safe. Haha...Uncle George and Aunt Kelly are crazy...just sitting there watching tornadoes pass by. Cool experience...but they are nuts...they fit with the fam obviously :)

And El Sal...doing its thing.

Transfers are the 27th, and I plan on staying...but like you said...who knows really. The investigators are good. We found a lot of positive ones this week. They have a good shot of progressing and getting baptized.

No Easter package yet.

And Easter will be a big thing...I'm just not sure how big yet. I already saw some people walk by with a statue of Christ walking with his cross singing...I really have no idea what they were doing. Kind of fun to see. And yesterday was a big catholic Sunday. Domingo de Ramos or Rama...the day Christ entered Jerusalem...I have no idea what they do.

As for Anne (Petty) and scripture study....HA she got cheated. You don't have to wake up til 6:30 in the mission. And believe me...you want to sleep longer than that. And really scripture study starts at 8. But it goes good. I'm never falling asleep during it. Some days I'm more diligent than others...but I'm always learning something.

And I'm thinking for my 22nd birthday we are gonna do it big. I'm not sure how....but we are gonna do it big...

This week we did service for the District Pres and moved a ton of wood. It was a lot of fun actually...and good exercise. We moved a ton. We mostly just threw them into a wheel barrow and moved it to his house and stacked it up. I saw the pile later...it was taller than me. I had no idea that we had moved that much wood. It was crazy.

Oh yeah...it rained...Tuesday I think. It poured in the morning and at night. But luckily, it somehow didn't get muddy at all. It just dampened the roads so there wasn't dust at all. It was so awesome haha. I was thinking...freak...it's gonna be super muddy and it's gonna suck. But no. I did almost slip once on some mud...but I still got some balance in me, and didn't fall at all. Haha.

And some nice old grandma gave us hats...haha. Like for snow that she had made...but oh well...haha. Nicest thing.
