Pictures!!

This is my wonderful district! The two missionaries on the end(Elder McCallum and Elder Romney are our Zone leaders...super awesome!) From left to right: Hermana Sorenson, from California. Elder Petlacalco, from Mexico. Edler Sperry, from Utah. And my companions!

 Well I almost ate Iguana! One of our recent converts is from Nicaragua and loves to eat Iguana. He says that it tastes like chicken...I was really willing to try it but also a little nervous since President Wilkinson from day one told us not to eat it because all gringos end up throwing up a lot! But I didnt get the chance to try it because he ended up making it after our lesson with him. It was a little weird however watching him tear of the skin of the poor Iguana. Made me think of our poor pet Iguana...

 Baptism of Fransisco...we had a baptism yesterday! Fransisco seriously is amazing and chosen by God! We found him in the street and from day one was willing to change. He hasnt had a job for a long time but whenver we had lessons he was always so positive even if he was starving of hunger. This man has so much faith! He always told us that he just wanted to do the will of God. He gave up coffee like it was nothing, but it was because he wanted to do the will of the Lord. Before he had a baptismal date, he was asking us what he needed to do to be baptized. After his baptism he bore testimony that this was the only true church. Happiness radiated from this mans face and testimony. Later that night we had splits. A young women in the ward and the young mens president came with me to teach Fransisco. Hermano Brito offered Fransisco a job which would start early the next morning. Fransisco was so excited and it was such a blessing to see the effects of when we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandment. Always, always, always!!! God blesses us when we keep his commandments. The commandments are not rules...they are miracle workers!!!
Learned how to make Pupusas today! Hermana Portillow was awesome to teach us gringos how to make this amazing food. Ok, mine werent very pretty but when I get home Alvin and I are going to make Pupusas.
