Buenas Tardes Damas y Caballeros!

​ It was a pretty dang stressful week here in Macuspana hahahaha It really blows when you don't have any idea where you are or where you are going or who anyone is. hahaha That's just part of the experience no? I was supposed to get a new comp but I think President decided to leave Elder Wilde here for a while. He is a cool guy.  He is 23, from St. George and has been out 9 months. It is super fun to have another set of elders in the house.  The Mexican guy is super funny.  We finally got lights about half way through the week. It was a good week and a lot of new stuff though! Macuspana is more of a city-ish but mas o menos. It's a lot like the Frontera.  Just Mexico! The members here are super cool though and there is a ton of work to be done so it's all good! The problem here is that no one is freaking married! hahahaha We started visiting like 4 different people this week and none of them are married! That's ok though, that's why we're here lol.


This week we actually did more service than I have done my whole the mish combined hahaha. One hermana needed us to put up some screens in her "windows" (Just giant holes lol) but they don't have tools here para nada. hahaha Dad you would die here. hahaha Another hermana needed us to rebuild a bunch of chairs for her and another needed us to fix their food cart. People here don't really know how to do much hahaha You give them a hammer and they don't know what to do with it. 

Today for p-day we did the coolest thing I've done so far!!!! We went to a place called Agua Blanca that is close to Macuspana. It is this super dope place that has a bunch of waterfalls and a ginormous cueva. It was so sick! We had to hike a bit and it was like everyone was going to die when we got to the top of the trail. hahaha I mean, I workout everyday but still I'm not in the best shape! It is kind of hard to do cardio. hahaha  It was insane! We were looking around in the cave and found the holy book just lying there! We might've found where Ether was hiding out in the caves hahaha. 

Well, it's been an awesome week here and I'm hoping it just gets better from here!

I love you all and hope you all have a good time this week!
