♫Hold to the Rod♫ Or you´ll fall out of the bus and get run over
This title is because one day we got on a bus that was so full that after walking up two steps of the entrance to the bus, I was now squished against the people in front of me. Then the bus door closed behind me, cutting off a dude that wanted to get on, and almost shutting on my backpack. Then we started driving down the highway. I wasn't sure how sturdy those doors were behind me so I just held tight to the iron bars next to me in the bus. Then I started laughing and poked my companion and sang the line from a hymn "hold to the roooood the iron roddd" I am very grateful for my years of training in holding on for dear life on tubes at the lake.

One morning as we were walking down the street a church member zoomed by us on his motorcycle singing ¨Elderes de Israel¨ and gave us fist bumps as he passed by. Then he almost crashed into an oncoming car he didn´t see and laughed as swerved, then continued to sing at the top of his lungs as he drove into the glorious sunrise.

Shower thoughts: 
- Pandas are just muddy polar bears who decided to be vegetarians
- How to have an awesome day: Every day you have opportunities to make someone else's day. Find and act on those opportunities and you will find that you are inadvertently making your own day awesome.

Everyone I Know Is About To Die

  WazAp Return to El Trébol This week I went on exchanges with my dad Elder Hales. That on its own would be pretty whack. BUT they also moved the AP's area to El Trébol, so not only I was I with my first companion for a day, but we were in my first area where I got trained with him too. That was super crazy. It was crazy to see how much people's lives had changed in a few months. There was a different bishop and elders quorum president, my old friend Kelvin had best friends in the ward now, I got to go back and find some old investigators that had been positive and help the new Elders start teaching some of them again. We also ran into that one super old guy I helped build a fence for forever ago, and he ended up inviting us in to talk and share a message with him. (We're still on the same topic but it kinda needed a new title) Another crazy moment that day was seeing my friend Alex.(picture below) We found this 19yr old dude back in the day just knocking doors, and when we

  Wazaaaaaap Update on life here: I'm about to complete 14 months in the mission. Three days ago I got transferred to the area Casa Blanca, where I got my new companion Elder Harward, who also just got to the area at the same time as me too. He's really great, he's from Rexburg Idaho/Provo Utah. Another cool thing is this is his first time being zone leader, and he has the exact same amount of time I had when I became one too. It's been a little crazy with both of us being new to the area, but we both have an eye of faith looking forward to good things to come. Probably for this email, I'll mostly just finish up some stories I never wrote from when I was in El Congo Waterphobia I know i've talked to my family when I call about the Lemus family, but I don't know if i've ever written about them here. But to make a long epic backstory short, the Lemus family was found when we knocked on a random door on our way out of a tiny colony in a corn field, and it e

My Journal for the last month. Wedding, baptisms, and Cockroaches

I really haven't had a lot of time to journal in the past weeks, so this email is kind of going to be my opportunity to journal down the most meaningful things for me in the last month while I have a computer for a few hours. Enjoy! Carlos and Sarai I think I told you guys about how on our 2nd day here we found a crazy guy on the street named Edwin who brought us over to his family. Well now we've found that his sister Roxanna is an inactive church member who was baptised when she was about 15, and stopped going when her daughter was born. She was converted when she was given a Book of Mormon and chose to try and read it even though she didn't know how to read before. But with that book Roxanna not only learned how to read, but she felt the spirit testify to her heart and mind the truthfulness of the gospel and was baptised!            Well anyways that was like 30 years ago, but now when we found her family thanks to Edwin, we started meeting with Roxanna's daughter, S
