Hey
y´all,
How
goes it? It's going pretty good here. Lots of rain which is kinda
good, kinda bad. I like it in the sense that its not so horribly hot
but bad in the sense that it got my scriptures wet and I gave my
rain coat to Elias to take to Brazil. It's cool. I have my
umbrella-ella-ella still but its kind of a pain.
This
week went relativity well except there was a massive fire by Yuto and
it cut the power and water for about 3 days but the great part was
that for all those days it was awfully hot and with the smoke
clouding the valley it made for a nice greenhouse-type feeling over
us so it was even hotter and we got ashes all over our clothes. All
this with no AC. I ever so envied the Vesuvius victims, lucky bums!
Due to the power out (during which I was singing "Power Out"
by Arcade Fire for those 3 days) at night it was impossible to work
because the whole city had no power: So, DARK was the night!!! A
lot of the work we have here is in the sketchy parts of town so we
didn’t dare to walk there at night. But later we got power and
water back just as it started raining. I'm soooo happy!! I missed the
water so much. The baptism didn’t go through, alas, but we are
planning on maybe 2 this upcoming Saturday. Pray for that.
The
branch is doing fine. We had the primary program yesterday which was
an adorable train wreck. I got to lead the kids in singing their
songs. We sang "I know my Heavenly Father loves me" and a
whole slew of others. I say we were supposed to sing that song but
the kids were actually singing another song as I was singing that one. After the meeting I got
to set Gabriela apart as the 2nd counselor in the primary presidency
and I got to give Gabriel the Aaronic priesthood. It was a cool
moment. They are doing so, so well and are gonna be a big help here
in Yuto. And well, that's the news from Yuto this week. Quesztionz?
We
heard that the fires drove the animals out of the jungle. Did you
see any?
Kinda...with
the lack of water and light I went to go pick something out of the
sink and in the dark I saw something in there. Thinking it was just a
cockroach or something I went to go get my flashlight to see it (as
we haven’t had cockroach problems for a long time here). Turns out
it wasn’t a cockroach but a scorpion! Nice! I always wondered what
they were putting in the water here so now I know.
Well,
that's about it. Thanks so much for writing. I love you guys a bunch.
Keep on praying for Yuto and all. Have a smashing week. I love you.
Its all good!
Con
Amor,
Russ
