wow this week has been crazy. so we had transfers and yes, i got transfered out of riberalta to santa cruz, another little town farther out from the center and instead of red dirt its all sand, kinda weird but yes sand everywhere and horses everywhere, its a little bit bigger than riberalta but not much nicer, the people here are pretty much the same but its alot more dangerous here! so as of right now i´m just getting to know my area and the members here and everything. i´m the district leader so ive got alot to take care of but its all working out great. my comp is elder albino from bolivia, hes super cool and were working hard to get our goals. we also had a baptism saturday, a 17 year old girl named jimena, it was pretty sweet but i barely know her so now i´m getting to know things here better. nothing much has really happened this week other than the transfers and me getting to know the area, this next week will be a good one because we have already found a person and put a baptisimal date on him, however his grandma is already a member but hey, another baptism.! lifes good here, its hard but good, the lord blesses me very much as well as he does you guys, i´m glad to hear that bob is starting to work, its better than nothing! mom. i want peanut butter!! i want 50 bottles of jiff peanut butter! well next week i´ll have more for you! i love you guys, tell everyone hello and congrats to cameron!
