We had a great week here in Hopsital with Elder Mendez. He is from Zacatecas, Mexico, and I am finishing his training. So right now he has been in the mission for 7 weeks, and he is super excited, and we work really well together.

     To start out, the ward had a late Halloween party on Friday night, and everyone dressed up, and danced (except for the missionaries...) and had a bunch of fun. We were the judges for the costume contest, and there were some prett cool costumes. There were 2 santa clauses, some indians, a pair of caterpillars, and a bunch more. But all of them were pretty creative!

     And on Saturday morning sometime after midnight we all woke up at the same time because there was a tremor! It was pretty fun, and I kind of just rolled over and went back to sleep, because they happen pretty often and I am kind of used to them. I dont know if thats good or bad, haha. On Saturday morning around 9:00 a member picked us up and hauled us over to a big piece of property he just bought, and Ill send some pictures of the service we did for him. I had a bunch of fun, and really missed doing service since Ive been in the city for the last 6 weeks. 

     That was a pretty decent summary of my week I think, so I hope everyone has an awesome week this week.

Heres a picture of the service we did on Saturday. He had us dig some SUUUPER deep post holes to put a fence around his land. And as the person with the longest arms in the region, I was elected to be the dirt scooper.

And heres a picture of the 4 missionaries in our house when we were at the halloween party. Left to right: Elder Alves (brazilian), Loertcher (gringo), Mendez (mexican), and me.
