Service Projects and Burritos

Hey there!

This last weekend the Zone got together with the Stake and the City and we did a big service project in the Sun.  We pulled weeds, cleaned up trash, and swept the sidewalk in one of the main roads in the south part of Duran.

It was good fun, but it the end, we all got badly sunburnt.  I´d send a picture of my snow white chest and my latino arms and head, but I figured missionaries shouldn´t be taking shirtless selfies, besides, I have an Ecuadorian rice belly the no one really wants to see.  When I was with Elder Gutierrez he always made a point to remind me that I´m fat.  When I wake up in the morning he often tells me ¨ESTAS GORDO!¨ as if it were my fault.  just you wait, when I get back to 4200 feet above sea level I´ll be shaking it all off.

...Tal Vez...

During the time I´m here I´m not really worrying about the rice belly thing, I do exercise every morning and walk, like, 20 miles every day.  I eat the lunches because I´m required to (that and I really really like the food here, I eat just about anything and everything) and I make myself fancy breakfasts because I love me.

Ever since I got here I´ve really been missing the huge breakfast burritos that me and dad would always buy.   Here in Ecuador Burritos, Tacos, enchiladas and all the stuff doesn´t really exist.  Those foods are traditional in Central America.  last week while I was buying food I thought to myself ¨Why don´t I just make a huge breakfast burrito?¨

and so I did...

I love me!

The truth is that everything here is going great.  My health is good and we´re working hard.  As always we´re expecting great things in the future.  The next transfers are in three weeks.  We had interviews with President Riggins last week and he made it sound like I´ll probably have a transfer this time.  Transfers are always bittersweet.  I´m going to enjoy the time I have left here in Duran. :)

Selfie of me and the best Bishop ever!

I hope all is well back home!  I hope you all stay away from getting colds and that dad will start to feel better too!

Talk to you all next week!
