Floods and other things‏

Just a little note: the audio Jordan is talking about he sent in his previous letter, but since I am not the technical genious he is I cannot figure out how to upload it to this blog. I am still working on it, but if you really want to hear it leave a comment with your e-mail address and I will forward it to you...Camee.

So this week since it's the rainy season it's continued to rain and flood and it halts our work. I have a photo of the flooded road but the computer I'm on isn't recognizing my camera so we'll try later. But it's been fun here. So to start out here random stuff as usual. Scaffolding here is the most sketchy thing I've ever seen. Like the things they use when they are building buildings. It's made out of logs. And not straight ones. I'll try to get a photo. But also I can't use big words here. I'm still searching for my teaching voice where I have to talk real slow and use the most basic english you can think of. So hopefully you liked the audio I sent. You can see how I struggle to understand people. I can get most of what they're saying but alot of the time I can't and they can't understand me. But it's all good it'll come. But the work is getting better here. I'm starting to understand my area and am looking up when riding instead of looking right in front of me on my bike so I don't crash and die from the jacked up roads. But as for our investigators most are doing pretty well. Feb 7th is going to be a powerful day. One of our investigators, Lawrence, had some friends say some bad things about our church to him. And so he didn't come to church yesterday. Ugh that made me so mad. I'm gonna talk to him today and give him some inspiration. And give those friends of his a spiritual roundhouse kick to the face if not a real one for bringing someone down like that. He was doing so well and was super stoked. But I heard that's what happens on mission. So one other thing I want to share is about the Ensign. It's powerful, I've found myself reading those alot. This months is really powerful. Especially the talk by Jeffrey R Holland. If you haven't read it go do so! But I don't know really what else to talk about other than I think I got malaria yesterday I had all the symptoms but when I woke up today I was ok. Not much got done yesterday because of it though. Malaria sucks, and so does doxy. The side effects are terrible. So you have to choose. Malaria or Doxy. I'm not sure which is worse at this point. But for those who didn't know, yes I have a bed. The mattress is pretty much just a foam cube and that's about it. It's not comfortable btw XD But anyways we'll try pictures here in a little on another computer but that's it for now. Talk to you all next week. ~Elder JV
