How many times did you have to check today before I finally wrote?

This time around it's hot but not like in San Miguel or Usulutan. It cools down more at night than it ever did out in Oriente. In the morning I wake up and it just feels so good. It's not hot and it's not cold. It's just perfect. It's a little hard to get out of bed haha... It's not like in San Miguel or Usu where it was always hot and it felt good to get off your bed and walk around. But don't worry, I get out of bed on time. I just don't want to....

Zaragoza has been pretty normal food wise. I haven't eaten anything super weird--or weird really--it's all been normal stuff here.

As for the beach, I don't really care. No matter where we go, my amazing tan will stun everyone...

Kota...i miss him. Will I be able to pick him up when I come home? Haha...he sounds pretty big now...

so....fun story...Saturday we got a ride in the back of a pick up to a part of our area. Elder Martin had his glasses in his front pocket and somehow lost his glasses, but he didn't realize until we got off and had walked around a little bit. So we had to retrace all of our steps and then we thought--could they be in the truck? They have to be...let's go find the truck. We only knew that the truck was in the same area, but it was a kind of big area. So we are walking, praying in our hearts and we see a truck that looks like the one that gave us a ride. Nope. Another. Nope. We got to a place where we can go left, right, or straight. I look to the left and see a truck. Alright, cool. So we go to that truck. 3rd times a charm--it was the truck. But the glasses weren't in the back. We knock the house in front of the truck and a kid answers and we ask for the owner of the truck. He comes and the moment he sees us, he says..Oh..the glasses! Sure enough he had found them and put them in the cab. What can we learn from that? Glasses are to be on your face...and...God answers prayers. He works miracles.


Warning...kind of gross...if you picture it right and I explain it good, you might want to skip it



you've been warned...





On the bus, there was a guy selling stuff with a super messed up arm. He had a brace on it and he took it off to show the people what happened. So gross. It was like Harry Potter 2 when he loses his bones and his arm is all rubbery. About halfway down the forearm, it was like the whole bone broke off and he could just wave the hand and part of the arm all around. Super crazy...

alright....we're good. Hope you have a good week and give me good news next week. Love you and miss you.
