Hi everyone! How did the week go? This week was pretty good here. I
got to my new area, and its sort of a tourist town that lots of people
visit. Its way hot here. I think it gets to 85, 90 degrees, with
almost 100 percent humidity. There are lots of hills so walking around
is really fun. Usually we end up sweating a lot. My companion brings a
towel with him at all times to wipe his face. Also, because its so
hot, water boilers don´t exist here. Its always a cold shower, which is
harder in the mornings, even though it ends up feeling quite nice at the
end. The people here are really nice, we were able to find a couple of
new people to teach this week, most of them accepted baptismals dates,
but most of them fell when none of them came to church. It is a really
interesting area. I got to try real piña coladas that they sell in the
street, and we drink one almost every day. Also they sell coconuts in
the street for like 12 pesos. My companion said he saw an iguana
outside of the house the other day, but I´m going to try to get a
picture of one here soon. Tomorrow I´m going to go in divisions to San
Jeronimito, and the Elders from there tell us that there are lots of
animals and all sorts of crazy stuff, so it should be fun.
The
area in general is good. The ward is nice, they have family home
evenings every thursday that we can go to. Actually, this past Sunday, I
got to give a talk, as my welcome to the ward. Some tourists from the
United States came to our sacrament meeting, and it turns out that they
are good friends with my Aunt and Uncle. It was a cool experience to
get to talk with people in English for a change.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Elder Carey
