Week 4 in the field down already?!?!

Not as much this week sorry, but living in Colombia theres always some good stuff to share!!!  I will start with the cockroach on my pants this morning!!  Ya so i woke up and felt something weird under my bed sheets... hahaha no dont worry mom thats a lie, it actually went like this:  We were buying lunch and in this little restaurant a guy pointed to my leg and i looked down and there was a cock roach probably the size of a typical computer mouse, no joke, crawling up my pants almost to my knee!!!  I didnt scream haha luckily but i did shake a good little bit in fear haha and shook it off and immediately stomped on it, then looked up to see all the natives around me laughing at the dumb gringo who got perhaps a bit overly scared with a cockroach on his pants haha... i tried to explain that they arent even half as big in my country but they just laughed even more haha but oh well, thats the life of a gringo in Colombia...

OOooooo we had a CRAZZZYYYY storm this week!!!!!  Daaaaannngggg if you guys like a good storm in utah you otta come here some time!!!!!!  One day this week we were walking out of a lesson in teh mid afternoon when it just started absolutely pouring rain harder than ive ever seen!!!  And it was a blast standing out in it getting soaked and cooling off haha really refreshing, until a huge lightning bolt came down not too far from us, and scarier yet, at the SAME TIME; THE LOUDEST THUNDER ive eeeevvverrrrr heard!!!!!  Holy cow my ears were ringing for at least an hour no joke, sounded like a gun shot, no like 3, it crackkled a bit, but was soooo loud my comp and i jumped a bit and ran over to a little store haha!!!  So ya we ran through the rain to our next appointment enjoying the rain but plugging our ears and staying under roofs of stores whenever we could cuz the lighting was right over us!!!  But ya it was waayyyy fun haha!!!

Alright really random thing ive noticed, you can know the doctors arent very good here by peoples belly buttons...  hhahahha i know that sounds dumb but here me out for a second...  the men are always walking around shirtless since its so hot here, and dang ive seen some weird stuff stuck to the middle of peoples stomacks that they somehow still call belly buttons...  haha they almost always stick way out in like the size of half a tennis ball, and usually have a little naught tip sticking out too... ughgh weird haha ill have to try to casually snap a pic sometime hahaha

alright well ya thats all i got for today, but i love you guys tons and even though i miss you I couldnt be happier to be here doing this great work!!!  Thanks for preparing me my whole life for this!!!  Keep hastening The Lords work!!!  We have been born into such fortunate circumstances because we agreed before this life to use all that weve been given to strengthen the church here in these latter days and ultimately prepare the world for the second coming of our glorious savior!!!  Keep doing the work with me and keeping me posted!!!  Oh and no mom i still havent gotten sick haha dont worry about me one bit, The Lord is watcing me and you guys too, especially Jared!!!

Les amo

Nos Vemos
