We're almost finishing this change and the month of October!
It's starting to feel more like fall here, although it's still really hot and
you still get all sweaty and dirty and gross. Love it! But there's been some
really cool clouds lately, and there's usually a nice little breeze running
around.

| This day was REALLY hot!! My clothes were soaked with sweat! |

| See my backpack lines??? Uuugh! |
Today was a good Sunday, none of our investigators wanted to
come to church, but we got some good exercise running around all over the place
this morning to find them all. I think there's a quote from Pokemon along the
lines of "gotta catch em all!", I'm not sure, as I've never really
watched or played Pokemon, too many people running around with spiky hair and
strange hybrid animals.
Someone accidentally kicked my foot
as we were leaving the chapel, and broke my big toenail. So that started
bleeding, and E Olivas (good District Leader
that he is) gave me a Beauty and the Beast bandaid to help it not be a huge
mess. So I walked around today with Belle plastered on my toe, which made me
smile. So I'll be sure to take good care of it so it doesn't get worse, and
hope that my nail doesn't fall off. It kinda still hurts. Ouch.

But, bright spot of the day, Hna Escobar and I got pulled
out of the class with the investigators to help teach the Primary kiddos a
song, as the leaders didn't know it. So we drew on our combined Primary time
knowledge, and I read the music, and we taught those kids! Whoo! The song was
"I Know That My Savior Loves Me," I think, and I remembered for a little
bit about my Mom when she was Primary chorister and would make all the posters
to help teach the Primary kids the words. I miss Primary!
We also passed by Esperanza (the lady whose mother died
about 2 weeks ago) and it turned out that she was making a whole bunch of
tamales, like 120 of them. So we stayed 2 hours to help her out, as she was
alone, and making tamales is not a 1 person job. So we got those all cooked and
hauled upstairs to cool, and washed everything, and she gave us some dinner and
we talked about how she's doing and everything.

She's an awesome lady. Her
husband travels for days at a time, so she's often alone. So we go and visit
her from time to time to she how's she's doing and help her out. And we got to
play with Rocky, their pit-bull (who was originally named Sultan, and he was
tiny! Now he's HUGE and keeps on growing!) and he's adorable and so happy and
playful, and has about 4 or 5 months, I think.

| Playing with Rocky! |
Hna Escobar has a pit-bull at
home (and a golden retriever and a boxer as well) and fell in love with Rocky
right away. I like him really well, too, but Hna Rosas never did, she doesn't
like animals. Or dead things. But that's normal. Anyways, we enjoyed our time
with Esperanza.
And we came home to find un MONTON de leafcutter ants carrying
their pieces of leaves out back. Crazy! They cut the leaves of a tree near the
front of the house, and carried them all the way down the trunk, up on the back
wall, behind the pila, and all the way across the other small wall, across the
grass, up the neighboring wall, and I don't know where else because they
disappeared there. A distance of about 70 feet or so, I would guess.

| And leaf cutter ants! All over the place! |
And they
also came from another tree at the back of the house and joined up at the
neighboring wall as well. Crazy ants. So that was a neat discovery, we sat there
watching them for like 15 minutes, mesmerized.
