 In case you thought I was kidding about the trantulas or just meant giant spiders here is a picture to prove I dont joke about things of a serious nature like that. 

And of course a picture of Hildas cutest baby ever, Cathy!

Just swinging out over the lake. It took all I had not to let go and have to swim on accident.

Also a picture of us with the Ayon family inside the cabin next to that giant tree that was hand carved by a man and brought in a ship and then some semi's to put in the middle of the house. Not to hold it up I will have you know, just to decorate

Transfers!!

We taught a primary lesson on preparing to enter the temple (in 10+ years for most of them) on Sunday. This is in the primary room. I am never having kids or at least not being their teacher. Except it was a little funny to hear some of their answers.

I found a scenic view in Mesa! Its in the middle of a senior retirement community of 200+ trailors without a single hispanic person.

 Me and my companion at our only investigator on the indian reservations house. Looks like Idaho right?   

 A really good breakfast we had last week. Yes, beans are a breakfast food, I didnt know either. Almost every meal I eat I wish I could just save and give to Dad because he would love it. And other times I just want to save it and give it to anyone but myself. 

Some of my zone played water balloon volleyball this morning. Great missionary fun.

Before the wedding! I wish my backpack wasnt on in eighty percent of my pictures. Either that 

or I am holding my camera case.

We have lunch every Friday with this lady. My companion told her that her birthday would be on a Friday this year and what Hermana Abreu heard was that her birthday was the next
Friday we ate with her. So she got a cake and we celebrated three months early.

Before the baptism! With their current missionarys, which I was a little sad I wasnt one of them. In my interview with president I almost begged him to send me back to my first area, but I will just keep praying and let God tell him. 

Right before they confirmed Juan! There where a ton of people there!

 Two of the kids of a recent convert family from Honduras! They are really great! They just took Elders out of this area and replaced them with Sisters the transfer before I got here and people aren't very happy about it. But this family is really nice and they love us! They are really eager to learn and every time we come over they sit the whole family down and want to learn! Its very different from everyone else who would like us to just come over and "hang out" and eat again.

My companion loves cooking. She said her first companion (who was from Bolivia) told her all Americans don't cook and are always on diets and wouldn't like it if she cooks. So I wanted her to know that's not true so I eat a ton and I made pancakes and pasta so far, which I call cooking.
