Things are good here.  The weather is the same, really hot during the day and super awesome sunsets and clouds everyday and random lightening happening.  I love the nights here and last night was a great night having our branch missionary meeting outside on a windy night in the middle of nowhere at a little wood house sittin in a hammock talking of our investigators and ways to help the branch.  Super awesome! 

The week was pretty normal and my talk was good yesterday and I went for about 7 minutes so a good young men's talk.  I read 3 scriptures and was nervous to say everything right the whole time and could have done better and gone longer, I just couldn't think of what to say because the language is tougher when I'm nervous.  But people said I did good and it was alright.  We have about 100 people coming most weeks.  This week and last we have had 23 recent converts there and this week 20 investigators from the 2 companionships here.  Each week we have about 60 people to meet with and it's about 30 investigators and 30 recent converts so we have lots to do within a week.  We have lots of member help and we are definitely blessed every day out here and the work is always fun.  We have great investigators and by the end of May we should have 6 baptisms so that will be super good. 

My stomach is feeling fine but I have some stomach pains in the morning that wake me up every day but I don't know.  I just do what I can and I eat enough and I have enough money to do everything!  No worries!  The sunsets and bike rides home at night are my favorite and I love the stars.  We lose power all the time here and some nights are really warm.  I really love oreos!  Cheapest snack here and its really good with lactosoy milk! Haha, and whole milk, mom, super good! 

Funny story, quick, so there are two words, dimple and broken.  They use the word broken for kids and stuff too.  We are at a members house and her husband's sister who is 30 and they tell me to smile and that they like my broken...but the word for dimple is super similar and then they told me to smile again and were like super handsome and stuff.  It was really funny after because neither of us knew that word, lol!  Anyway, love you lots!  I'm doing good out here and teaching tons of lessons and learning khmae every day!
