Valdarane and her family are doing good. The little boy is doing good. He wanted to bare his testimony this last sunday and asked me to write it down for him cause he didnt know what to say so i wrote some things and he got up there and read it and then kept on going for a little. haha I was impressed cause he said more then i wrote. All is well here!!!
We are teaching ppl but nothing way firm yet. We are working on the daughter of valdarenes husband. she is 12 years, she accepted for the 10th but its not a firm date. last night we told her to pray and stuff so well find out more tonight. We're workin lots on a plan for the ward. We're trying to make plans for this ward to get more excited.

When it rains... we walk! Just an idea as the the amount of water we walk in. When I say we walk in a foot of water... I am serious!

A family we had lunch with before conference and they had rice, beans, and "LASANGA"!!! haha. we were just really happy it was something other then rice and beans for once haha. and bananas of course. but thats not to weird. there are banana trees everywhere.

so guess what? i didnt get transfered haha. still in the same area. anderson moved. i dont know where he is. and that family of kids are doin great. they LOVED conference, as did i. especially the one about member missionaries finding ppl for us fulltimers to teach. that was a GREAT talk. they're doing great! yesterday we taught the word of wisdom and law of chasity. just think a bunch of kids living without parents. ya i thougth it would be scary. they accepted the law of chasity like it was nothing and the only thing they had a problem with in the word of wisdom was coffee but they said they would stop and let us get rid of it for them. Juinor, the oldest, 24, got his wisdom teeth pulled so he is not in the picture, he was in the other room with the baby. he is an amazing young man.
