Photos!

Look at all of this wood we chopped.  Took us a little over a half an hour with both of us going at it.  I´m definitley going to miss doing this when I`m not here anymore.

Us playing jump rope with some investigators.

Just some classic Guatemalan kids for you guys.

My main man Elder Keele hitting his two year mark.  So we celebrated!

These are about half of the corte ties that I`ve gotten during my mission.  I don`t think I`ll ever wear a normal tie ever again.

Photos!


Last week we went to Salcajá to buy corte, which is basically the typical clothing here in Guatemala for women.  And we make ties out of it.  They are so SICK!  You can see all the different types that we bought, and from this I´m gonna get about FIFTY ties!  I´m so stoked!
This is just a bunch of wood waiting to be burned.  And that´s a LOT of wood.  
We made cookies for a member´s little girl for a FHE.  And after mixing the dough with my hands (I´m definitely in Guatemala!) we just had to eat it off my hands.  And Elder Telford, an Elder in my same area, started eating it off of my hands!  It was pretty funny.

Photos!

Last week, two missionaries from the branch that I am working in got back from their missions!  And we just happened to pass by when they got to Chinique!  So of course I took a photo with them!


We celebrated both the birthday of Elder Berrios´ Girlfriend and Cinco de Mayo this day!  We baked a cake and everything in the church, it was fun!


It was absolutely DOWNPOURING this day, so of course I had to take a picture, enjoying the rain!  (At least it wasn´t snowing...)


We were helping out a member in the forest when we saw something on the ground.  We got closer, and we found it was a baby owl!  How crazy is that???  So now the member family is taking care of it.  But still, crazy!


We bought some tortillas for the Mother´s Day Activity that we had in the church, and I was the one who had to carry it to the church.  So I decided to carry it like a pure Guatemalan!  (They all carry baskets and all sorts of things on their heads like this!)


Part of the Mother´s Day Activity!  The Elders of the Elders Quorum made a bunch of food on the BBQ, and it was way good!


The actividad!  All the material that you can see the majority of the ladies wearing is the "corte" that I was telling you guys about.


Hey!  It´s you guys!  Haha  (Ignore the big fat forehead in the corner...)
