The year mark....it felt fast. And the first couple days after have been fast as well. I didn't burn anything as I still need them. Haha..

I got one package the one with ties and the card and all that. But just that one. I'm good on drink packets actually...and...if you want to send the bunnies you can...I don't care really.

We lost power in the Church last Friday when we were doing a FHE there. It was interesting cause we had a bunch of little kids that time so they were ridiculous when the lights went out. Haha. It was bad.

I have so much I want to do when I get home...I need to get a job fast. I want to come back to El Sal to visit. I want to check out Guatemala...I want to go to Cali again. I want to save up for something huge in 2018...haha...I don't know what I'm gonna do.

The multizone is next week I think. We still don't have all the dates down yet.

Also Elder Christofferson is coming with Pres. Eyring. So it's gonna be sweet. We are also wondering how we will get back to Usulutan because the thing with Pres Eyring will be at 5 pm in San Salvador. Haha..how we will get back...nobody knows. But we'll get something figured out I'm sure.

This week I ate more shrimp, crab, some fish, and something that looked like horseshoe crab. They called it Cuca del Mar or Sea Cockroach really. It was all good actually. Though it was a little dangerous in the soup with random little spines and stuff from the fish.

And I crossed two mini rivers but the boots are bomb and my socks got a little wet. It could have been worse. The mini rivers were roads that flooded and we had to cross them to get to the cooks house in Jiquilisco. Haha...that day was nuts.

Anyways...I'm more out of the mission then in the mission now. I'm on the downhill. ...it's a weird feeling. It's been fast. I have changed a lot. My teaching is better, and the understanding of the people is a lot better as well. Its weird....1 year. 1 year til good old NC humidity and heat. WOOO!!!!!! If I come from some place in Oriente, I'll feel right at home

Just wanna say a wise man once said ¨Wherever you go, there you are.¨ Hahahaha

(Name that movie)

Well...off to play soccer with young men

Miss you all. Love you
