Some pics for you

We had a fun pday with the rest of the zone… we went to the Xela museum!! I have two pictures I got for you… And we went to a fun market… it was a lot of fun, and I got some cool stuff…

Also, we had to look for a new house for some new elders that were moving in to Xela, and I figured that this would be a good opportunity to show what a normal house looks like here (This one was actually pretty nice)

Other than the bathroom there are 2 simple rooms where we sleep and study. I don’t have pictures of those.

I think that before the mission, I would have been pretty freaked out seeing how simple things can be… concrete houses… cold, dark… 50 year old showers… stuff like that… but now it has just become life… I remember talking to an Elder Carter a while ago and he was saying that his life feels like he is and always has been a missionary… and that Guatemala is no longer weird to him… that’s how it is now! Its pretty interesting… I love the mission… I wish these months that are left will be even better… so anyway I just wanted to show you guys what a typical house looks like more or less…

I love you… have a great week.

: This is an exhibit at the museum we went to today of a small bug display… just to let you know… I have seen almost all of these bugs personally in my mission… hahaha so enjoy!!

: Another exhibit in the museum. This is a pretty bad picture so i hope you can see it, but it is of an 8 legged goat squirrel thing!!!! The description said that it was born nearby here in Xela and that it lived 5 minutes, breathed out a yellow goo from its nose, then died immediately after. Super gross…. so then they figured that they’d put it in the museum! hahaha

: A pila… or a sink… it is where we wash dishes… brush our teeth… and wash our clothes… on each side of the faucet are things like rippled plates so that you can run your clothes along them to wash them.

: I hated my original picture on the Mission newspaper so I got another one taken… i hope you like it! Compare it from me a year ago and see if i look different.
