Questions of the week:

Lots of both of the above

2. What types of fruits grow there?
Lots I don't know the names of half of them.

3. Is it harvest season? What do they harvest there?
It's always harvest season. There's always something growing.

4. Are there animals that wander the streets like there were in Africa (chickens, goats, monkeys)?
A lot of dogs and cats, and chickens and mules and the occasional monkey

So first off, Yay pictures. I sent them finally. Second off yay baptism. We baptized 2 people Saturday. I kinda forgot to mention that but yeah. go baptism. Yeah this week was a good week, not really though cuz we didn't teach hardly at all. We had problems in preparing for the baptism. At first the chapel didn't have water, so we stayed there and helped the repair man fix it. Then the hot water didn't work, so we stayed there to help fix that. Then the water came out dirty so we emptied the font and filled it again. In all we taught about 30 lessons this week, not cool. Wanted more. Didn't get it. So yeah but 2 baptized and 2 confirmed. Go team baptism. So yeah well i got to go so I want to tell you that I love you and I'm praying for you. I miss you a lot and I look forward to Mother's day next month yahoo.

2. What do you cook when you have to prepare your own meals?
i cook hamburgers a lot. That's dinner for me. we cook Monday Tuesday and Thursday.

3. Are the streets there mostly paved or are there still lots of dirt roads?
It's almost all rock streets. called empedrado

4. Is the dirt there red or really red?
It's pretty well red

Yeah conference is amazing. I never appreciated it before. It was always just kinda that thing that my parents turned on every once and a while and watched. I really have learned to appreciate it here. It's funny how a new perspective will do that to ya. haha.
Unfortunately my computer here isn't going to be able to do pictures, so next week. I hope. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of my area. I really haven't taken any yet, and I'll work on that audio file thing too.

And I need to ask a favor. I was wondering. I have that nano up in my room right could you throw sacrament meeting appropriate (preferably a cappella) songs on it along with a bunch of instrumental stuff (including Paccabell's Cannon in D) and talks (that are preferrably more than 20 minutes including all Holland and Hugh B. Brown possible) and throw it in a little box (chicitito no mas(really little. This is just a little package. Really the candy and stuff (to be mentioned) is just filler and so you don't have to put i-pod on the box (put something tricky like emergency food & supplies intended to sustain life of poor American boy (something tricky like that.)))) with some candy and stuff like that and send it on down to Paraguay? That would be great and I would be super happy (my cd player doesn't work so I can't listen to any of the cds I brought.)

I love you tons and I miss you more than tons and I look forward to seeing and hanging with you again. Really I appreciate everything you do for me and I pray for you often. I look forward to hearing from you next week.

Love
