ok so im siting in a dark corner of a ciber shop with diareehea baely in my pants and <i habe like 0 time so i{m just gonna send this. hopefully i can scribble out a group email too. I am in Santiago Texacuangos- the middle of the jungle. I freaking love it and i do}t know if my stuff will upload but I sure hope so. I{m gonna start w the bad and end w the good. So three days in I wake up and start praying and just shread a pair of garments w crap. I throw them awy and just keep going thru the day, i threw up 6 or 7 times and crapped everywhere I could straight liquid. I got a blessing that night. Next morning it just kept getting worse so we called the nurse and I had a 103 fever but I felt ok. so we went out, a neighbor helped me do a poop test-don{t ask haha. Eventually the officie elders came and picked me up and we went to the hospital. I have a parasite. So they loaded me up w meds and gave me a butt injection. I feel much better now and am hapy to say I even had a solid bm. I don{t want you to worry tho, they take good care of us and I feel good, healthy and safe.
There is so much good tho idk where to starat. Myy comp is Elder Ortega from Nicaragua and he is apparently very funny. I really don{t understand humor down here it kinda bums me out but whatever i have a good time w things and he is nice to me. he eats like a freaking monster tho. only hands and shoves it all in his mouth. its hard to watch haha but I love the guy and we are teaching each other our languages. The people here are so sweet and awesome. I have so many stories that make me cry already, just the humility and struggles of these peope. Sadly they are also known for being very lazy and lovvvvve o talk. Non stop lol its hard. Our area is traditionally one w very litle success. us and another area form a rama not even a ward so its a struggle and church is far. but i love it. I can{t spak very well but its funny when I{m in a lesson and sharing something i{m legit close to fluent. outside of hat its very hard. my companion noticed that the other day and told me.
People here also hate america, and its gotten me in some tough spots, couple guys yelling at me as I walk and i lessons I{ve gotten roasted a ll haha but I always just tell them, there is a lot of bad tyhings in the word, and I am from a place with a lot of bad. But I do not represent The US I represent christ and through him we can find peace and comfort. the rumors here would blow your mind haha they think we have chips implanted in our brains by satan, that we dig "fire lake" to other dimensions, and that I started some wars in Africa. eah idk. Anways I have so many more stories and everything bu I{m keeping a journal so i will share more in a couple years. Its hard out here, im sweating constantly even tho it ains evry other hour and 2 years seems so long. i am determned to make a change in this area tho. I know con fe its possible. I miss you both so much. I love you and I love love love hearing about home. I am praying for you constantly, please keep me in your prayers. And pray for he people down here to open up to this message.
love you lots,
