Jump Rope and Spider Hunting

The reason that I titled this email that name, Is because that is what we did for pday today.(Pics to come)

This week we had a lot of meetings. On Tuesday we took an hour and a half bus ride to Villa Flor. It was for all of the new missionaries that came in this transfer and the last transfer. I was good to see Elder Perry again. I haven't seen him since the first day. Apparently, he got a worm in his belly and got really sick last week. But seems to be doing all right now. 

On Wednesday, we had a multi-zone conference an hour away in (can't remember). But that was good. On both days they fed us lunch which was really really good. Pizza Hut, and a really good Mexican restaurant.

On Wednesday we had district meeting. It was just the usual one that we have every week. But later that day, we went to the lady that cleans our clothes house and witnessed the killing of their choncho (pig) (the same pig that I sent a pic home before) I watched them shave it with machetes and boiling water. Then they gutted it and we ate it the next day when the member's niece came home. Definitely the craziest thing so far on the mission,

A couple side notes

1. I finally had my first slice of tomato on Thursday. They don't use them very much here

2. There is this dog that follows us around everywhere named Mufasa. He is really crazy. He goes to church about every week. (More than some of the members...)

On Saturday we went to the Baptism of Blanca. She was super pilas (excited) to be baptized, even though the picture doesn't show that. We had 5 baptisms all at the same time. There was this one 9 year old kid who is as tall as my hip! But it was cool. We don't have a baptism this week. But we hope to soon. We are just waiting on birth certificates for marriage. Our other investigators are falling through.

Last thing, here I am a giant. There has only been one native taller than me that I've seen in Nicaragua. Its pretty cool!

Stay in school,

We poured water down its hole/nest to bring it to the top, and then knocked it out with a stick. It was pretty big. Nothing like we have in Utah
