So here in Zona Sur it's really tropical, really touristy, and just all around beautiful... except for Rio Claro. Haha its pretty much the armpit of Zona Sur. But this week we had the chance to head to a place called Puerto Jimenez, honestly the picture-definition of the word paradise. The missionaries over in Puerto Jimenez had a HUGE activity where pretty much the whole community was invited to watch part of Meet The Mormons and listen to live music and eat. Great activity and great turn out, about 250-300 people. The next day we had a zone meeting with the whole Zona Sur, the APs, and President Hayes & his wife. I was asked to teach the zone about mastering the scriptures and I feel like everything turned out pretty well. It was a really beautiful couple of days, seeing the beach, meeting new people, and just blowing off some steam. God is great.
Another exciting thing that happened this week was Elder Morales and I moved! Our old house had nothing but a tin roof and it turned into an oven starting about 8 o'clock in the morning. So we found a smaller but much cooler apartment owned by one of our recent converts. We got all moved in on Saturday and are still settling in with a few touch ups here and there. We're gonna paint the house purple, yup.
After a little over 3 months of long waiting, I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN MAIL!!! My area is so far away from the mission office that it's really hard to get mail out here. But at the zone meeting, President's wife brought us all our mail. Thanks a ton to everyone who sent me stuff. Y'all are the best and really know how to make a missionary happy.
Well I love you all and hope this week is a great one for y'all.
Keep On Keepin' On..

What does a missionary do when his old boots die and are completely un-wearable?
BURN 'EM!!!
