Falling in Love with the Little Things

I've been doing pretty good out here, we just got a new mission president, I haven't met him yet but we're expecting new rules pretty soon.  We fear the worse: no more Coke and no more wearing normal clothes on P-day...  But, ya never know.  We should be meeting him within the next few weeks.

Lindsay is having way too much fun in Peru, she needs to do a little more walking and step in more dog poop!

Personally, I'm falling in love with the little things that other people would find odd that I'm falling in love with.  I realized that I'm not getting any tourist treatment whatsoever, Buena Fe has very little attraction for that kind of thing, so as I lay awake listening to the Latin band perform in the venue next door I realized, they're playing the music of their culture, for their culture.  They aren't playing for tourists or anyone like that, they're playing because trumpets, saxophones, crazy piano rifts and Latin percussion sounds great live.  But TERRIBLE on the radio.  The three guys on the bus the other day who played the bongos, accordion, and the washboard... couldn't sing for the life of them.  They were singing for a little cash to get by.  I can't explain it very well but I can't help but laugh to myself when they culture shocks me, little by little I'm realizing that HOLY CRAP I"M IN ECUADOR and that this is real, not some show put on for tourists.  I guess my realization came when I saw a "Travel Ecuador" add on one of the member's TVs.  I thought to myself: "HA! that isn't Ecuador at all!"

I fear I'm not making much sense, I suppose all I'm really trying to say is that I love it here more and more.  Even though investigators usually end up breaking your heart when they don't want to visit with you anymore or don't want to attend church.  It's a good feeling being here, I guess it's that I'm where I ought to be.

I did get the music, but it don't work in the format it's in.  I've converted most of it but not all of it.  There isn't any chance you could send it in MP3 format, is there? or even better.  Just send an envelope with a mini little flash drive with a bunch of music on it, that'd be better!  My only worry is that the drive would get stolen from the envelope...

WELP, I really don't know what more I should report. Hear's some pictures to wrap up.

Love you!

Another Creature that found its way into our house, I've also been seeing butterflies with HUGE yellow eyes on their wings.  I've always seen them in movies but HOLY COW THEY'RE REAL!
