This is the big week. I'm excited. It should be a fun week. From Usulutan to San Salvador...depends....if you get a fast bus...like an hour and half...two hours...and a slower one can take like 3 hours. It just depends on what you get. Apparently we have to pay our own way to San Salvador but they will get us our own bus for the return trip. So we'll come back the same night. We'll just be breaking mission rules. haha. There is no way we'll be back to Usulutan by 9.

Not so much peace in the temple as a worker, huh? Haha. It's all peaceful until you have to talk and help others...like the mission. If you don't stop to talk with anyone...just do appointments...the day is so easy and peaceful. But you have to stop and talk with people so its harder.

The temple was in the papers here and on the news. If you ask people if they have heard about it, some say yeah, others say no. Depends. The media did some coverage but I'm not sure how much. And like always...you always had the pinches (so I've heard that pinche is a bad word in Mexico...good thing I'm not in Mexico) that pass out the anti-Mormon stuff...*cough* JWs *cough* And of course not with the missionaries around.

Food experiences...nothing interesting. Just eating some chicken that I saw alive the day or 2 days before.

This week we actually had hail down here during a storm. Weird, huh? It rained quite a bit this week so things cooled down a lot. I'm grateful for that.

Nothing else really to report here. Adiós pues.

Love you guys
