Feb.15.2016 - Four Guys

Hey there!

Today will probably be a photo recap because I owe you all pictures. I heard that I won't be speaking in Church until the 24th of April. WHAT A RELIEF!  I like to have time to write talks, yesterday the bishop had a problem, the speaker didn't attend church.  And what do you think he did?  Five minutes before sacrament meeting started ¨Hey, Elder Howell, could you speak for ten minutes?¨  ¨...sure bishop, I love speaking for 10 minutes...¨

If Mr. Sam from my speech and debate class who taught me how to write a ten-minute talk in five minutes is reading this I'd just like to say. THANK YOU!  You saved my life.  Luckily giving a testimony can extend a talk by 2 minutes and keep the spirit too.  I spoke about the first principles Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Have I ever told you guys that I love the gospel of Jesus Christ?  It's so simple and so profound at the same time.  Go read 3 Nephi 27!

Right, so, I thought I'd start this photo email with food; For my soul delighteth in food.  First off-


We found this near the terminal in Babahoyo, we don't know how it got here but I'm sure that no one but North Americans get the joke.  The burgers aren't as good Five Guys though... they lack a guy.


I was caught eating my birthday present to me last week.  I have no regrets.

Carnaval, a holiday that I would enjoy VERY VERY much if I wasn't a missionary.  Basically, its three days of free for all water fights with paint, foam, and balloons. On the third day of Carnaval, we sat down to eat some bread and soda because the lady who was going to give us lunch went out of town for the holiday.  While we were sitting we watched a large family play Carnaval.  A girl came over to us from the party and asked if she could spray foam in our hair.  Before we could answer, she did.  After that, the family sent us over some roasted plátano and chancho from their party.  We contacted them out of gratitude.    ....Here I am talking about food again... Carnaval all and all was a full big party.
