Wow i didnt even realize that it was fourth of july weekend haha. I was in church yesterday and one of the elderes reminded me that it was the 4th of july haha.. made me kinda trunky thinkin about wat i would be doing and thinking about the 4th of july last year and how ive had the endownments for a year now. Wow lots of stuff has passed so fast!

So today was pday and we played soccer again. Im getting pretty good at it playin with all these latins! Afterwards we went to mcdonalds and then we bummed a ride back to our area! it was pretty fun although we arent supposed to ask for rides. The guys were way chill though so it wasnt harmful. Plus my comp lost his money that we just recieved for the month. We were broke the whole month of june and now my companion doesnt have anything again. poor kid i hope he finds his money.

Im doing great here! having a lot of fun and just trying to enjoy every moment that im here. Elder harrison is havin a few troubles with his comp. He said that his comp doesnt teach and wont teach. He doesnt bare his testimony becuase he doesnt have one. Nvever read the book of mormon before the mission.

My stomach is actually doing really good. I havent been feeling sick or anything and im doing well. The people here dont eat very many fruits and veggies. The sister does try to give us salads and carrots and healthy stuff too.

So Ryan is going to scout camp?? thats way awesome! He´ll have a blast out there im sure of it. So aaron and jordan are causin trouble over there still? hmmm maybe its better for them that they are punished. Theyve gotta be more obedient thats for sure!

Grandpas not doing so hot these days huh? Hmmm thats pretty scary that he had a stroke and a heart attack. Did he realize it or no?? Theyve already cut off two toes and are thinking about amputating his leg if the infection doesnt settle down? wow im imagining grandpa with a prosthetic leg or a weelchair. Thats really good that he is alert and normal..

So here where we eat our food the sister lives next door to her mom and other sisters and cousins. One of her sisters that is 25 that we are pretty good friends with just went to the hospital alst week too. She went becasue she had a cramp in her leg. By the time she got to the hospital here whole body was cramping up and she wasnt doing too well. Shes still in the hospital as of now and sister sanchez says that shes doing way bad and doesnt respond when you talk or anyhting... She must have had some alergic reaction to a medicine or someithing that she ate.

So derek couldnt make it through the mtc? wow that sucks.. I hope he will find the strength to return and try it again. I hope hes not too traumatized by the death of ross that he cant do the lords work..

Well thats about all for now. Im doing really well here and working really hard. We baptized a little old cripple mom this saturday and we are going to get her a weel chair soon. It was great to see her get baptized. The people here are so so so so incredibly humble.

WEll g2g... I love you all so much .

Love jonny
