it was good to hear from you all. Dad i love the ward temple goal, here we have our little chant we say¨¿para que bautizamos? En un ano en el Templo, con nombre de sus antepasados?¨im sure you can figure it out. To go to the temple here is a bit more of a challenge (a lot). So we missionaries are working hard to baptize more families who want to pay tithing so they can get a temple here in the coast. The comp i have now is the one i had before Elder Jaliri. They switched us for like 4 days and then back again, kinda silly but in el ejercito de Dios you just smile and contact. But its good because he is a great missioary. Kinda clumsly but really humble and i learn alot from him. we have to buy bags of water to drink and he always puts them in the mini fridge wrong and they spill all over the floor, so we mop alot but its with expensive (for a missionary) water. There was a BIG catholic party the 16 El Dia de La Virgen del Carmen. How do they celebrate? just like everyother holiday, music, beer , and cheap fireworks. In front of the house a bunch of taxis and then buses and then semis went past honking horns with virgens on top. They also were selling shirts with the virgen on them and i was going to buy one but elder
Jaliri talked me out of it.... it was a good idea.
Also we went and took pictures kinda close to the beach which was scary. The picture with the big soccer player is a local of Santa Marta named Pebe and he played soccer from the 70´s to the 90´s and is super famous. A missionary here baptized his cousin and it got in the newspapers.thanks for your love and prayers
