Wow,
So, lots of things have happened this week. Right now we´re in day two of the three-day holiday called Carnaval. It's been a big party full of loud music and drinking and water balloon snipers on the roofs. We´ve discovered that the same spirit that Samuel the Lamanite had is the spirit that we have. Everyone who has tried to get us wet hasn't been able to hit us with their balloons, much like the arrows and the slings that the wicked used against Samuel.
The weapons of choice around here is foam spray, water, balloons, and calk-paint. We have today and tomorrow to service, I think we´ll be able to do it!
Oh yeah! When I say we I don't mean Elder Rojas and I. Elder Rojas got transferred today and just a few hours ago I picked up my new companion, Elder Ames. He´s my second North American companion and probably my last companion too seeing as I'm on my last transfer cycle. D:
He´s from South Dakota but has attended BYU Provo. I don't know too much about him yet because in our time together we´ve only been able to go buy food and eat lunch. However, I know now that he likes to eat at KFC (yes, there´s KFC in Ecuador), he buys cereal, eggs, milk, and green apples among other things. I'll be sure to be entreating him all week long to be able to share details with your guys. :P
I have some good pictures but... I let another elder borrow my SD card adapter and I wasn't able to get it back from him, so... pictures will be next week too. Sorry about that.
As for me, I'm doing alright. :) Healthwise I'm fine, I haven't let any mosquitos give me Zika, nor will I. Its raining right now but I haven't gotten sick from that either so... yeah, life is good.
I completely forgot valentines day was this weekend until mom emailed me... right now everyone is focused on drinking and getting each other wet, I'm sure Wednesday they´ll start remembering ¨El Día de Amor y Amistad¨
Although I forgot about valentines day I did not forget about dad´s birthday. Happy Birthday dad! You´re turning... a... -older than you were last year! yay! (age doesn't matter when you´re always a good looking bald guy)
I hope all is well back home. I guess Ill be seeing you all soon, but not before I get to work!
Love you all!
Cameron
