These first few days of May have passed by super fast! It's crazy!

My weather was kind of similar. It was hot here and humid. It would rain at night but it would be on and off throughout the night so it would be cooler but then the sun comes out and you know how it is... There were some super hot days, but its worse in La Union. I was there this week and when I came back to Sta. Rosa, it felt awesome. It's so humid in La union.

We did have a baptism on Saturday. It was Marcos, the brother of the girls we baptized a few weeks ago. That was exciting for sure. We have some good investigators that I think can get baptized. We'll just have to wait and see when...haha..

Hmm...so they do a bible study. We might be able to pull off something like that here. Everyone loves the bible here even if they have never read it.

Yikes with Taylor. You think he will still serve? They might let him off honorably without serving but that's awful. Man, I feel for him. All I remember is when I broke my collarbone. I can't imagine doing what he did to his ankle. He has some bad luck.

Anyways, if I stay in Sta. Rosa,  2pm should be good here. But if I go, who knows really. It kind of sucks that changes fell when they did. I'll try to call at 2 if even I get moved.

But that's about it. I got some pics to send. If you got any questions, just ask them Sunday.

Can't wait to talk to you!

It's kind of crazy that it's the last day of April. It did seem kind of long, but at the same time, kind of short. It was a weird month for sure.

It's super hot today. Soooo hot. We are sweating a lot. Luckily, we can spend time in A/C today. We don't have to be outside working. Some people are progressing--the majority not really. But the brother is progressing and we are hoping to get him baptized this weekend. We got his cousin (who he is really close to) to come to church with us for the first time in years (he's inactive--well, less active now) so that definitely helped.

That's so cool for Daniel (Whitt). He'll probably see more crocs than I have... ;) And a lot more snakes. He'll probably be a soccer nut when he comes home and probably won't work much the summer of 2014. Thank you World Cup in Brazil.

Yes, changes are next week. The 9th. I haven't heard anything about calling home. I would check everything on Skype to make sure just because I don't see why I wouldn't have permission this time around. I'm good to go to use it if I'm here because the cook has a laptop. But if I get changed? Who knows...haha But  prep everything just in case...

This is gonna be short cause I'm gonna send pics from my birthday. Hope you like them.

Miss you and love you.

Here is what happened at night. Party! haha...not really Just a lot of hot dogs and some cake.

Don't worry about the El Salvador version of coke you see in one of the pics. We (me and my comp) only drank the orange looking one. It's so much better than coke anyways.

The investigators are good. It looks like the brother will get baptized, but not until the 5th of May. As long as he does it, I don't really care when it is. And we are working with some other people, but they won't be ready until later in May--maybe even June. Their mom is a member from forever ago. She got baptized as a little girl but has been inactive the majority of the time, but she comes every Sunday now.

Today we played basketball and I am awful now. And we played soccer and I have gotten better. I only played 2 games, but we didn't lose when I played...haha. That's about it. This is gonna be short cause I have pics that I need to send.

Later.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
