Trees - From Cotton to Family History

Well this week has flown by and I don´t know where it went. We got our list of members down to 212 and we fixed a bunch of addresses. We started the first part of our activity last night and filled out a few family trees with the members that came. We have seen an increase in help from the members. I think the majority of the members like us.

Transfers are coming up this following week. We will know what is going down on Tuesday night. I think that Elder Patton and I will be here for another transfer. Maybe President del Castillo will realize that my comp has been here for 6 months. I am rather confident in that Elder Patton will make sure President knows exactly how long he´s been here when we see him this Friday for interviews.

We went to see the “capilla del diablo”(the devils chapel) with our buddy Pedro the remis(taxi) driver. He really likes us. Too bad he lives in the area of the zone leaders and they will be the ones teaching him and his family. The chapel was a little less than what I had imagined but it was still fun to see it and hang with Pedro.

I still haven´t recieved anything in the mail. If it is here it should be coming with President. If it hasn´t arrived or is lost I will have to wait until zone conference. Hopefully there aren´t any problems with the items sent.

Saturday night we were walking down our sort of main street and a woman stopped her moto and motioned us over. We went and she asked if we were mormons. We told her yes and then she said she had recieved a pamphlet from some missionaries a little while back and would like to have the book of mormon. We gave her the book and set up and took her address. It was nice to be asked instead of asking. I am thankful for this little miracle. Can´t wait to teach her and her family.

I had divisions with Elder Vicent(our new zone leader) yesterday. We did service in the morning for an older woman. We moved a bunch of plants and removed a couple of things from her backyard. I tried to be nice to her dog and it tried to bite me. This thing is ridiculous. Just look at it. ONE EYE, YIKES!

I think that this should be the father and sons spot for 2010. These are cabins in Bella Vista. They are right next to the beach and are really wonderful. Maybe we should plan a family reunion here.

Brother Moratto had this bird last week when we went and ate. I don´t know what it is called but my companion sure likes it. Just look at his face. Haha.

The branch in centro had another talent show. I believe they are all “talented” out. Maybe they should do a night of family history. Hmmmm, Sounds like a pretty good idea.

Last pday I learned that cotton grows on trees. This tree has these huge pods that dry up, break open, and leave cotton every where. Kinda looks like corn.

That is about all that has happened this week. I love you all and hope you enjoy the photos of last pday playing futbol and this weeks visit to the chapel and whatever else. Chau
