Everything
is good here! I have appreciated all of the letters I have gotten so far, it is
definitely my favorite part of the day when I get a bunch of letters! Sooooo...
send me more! It’s been about the same here, we are still in the MTC, so not a lot
of different stuff happens.
We had a
HUGE storm the other day! Nothing destructive or anything, just tons and tons
of rain. The thunder here is crazy! During the storm we were just hanging out
when all of the sudden it sounded like the entire sky had just ripped in half.
It was such a powerful sound that I was actually afraid, and not in the
startled kind of way. And the thunder here rolls too, like 4 or 5 seconds!
There’s not usually all that loud of thunder though.
As far as our visit to the market, It was soooo different!
The one we went to was actually in this weird building that I’m not going to
try to describe, but it had 3 floors. There were little store everywhere!-selling
tons and tons of home made things: pottery, paintings, clothes, dresses, just
about everything you could possibly make out of leather, machetes, live
chickens, soccer jerseys... just tons of stuff! and it was all sooooo close
together, the whole place was cramped. Everything is super cheap too! One of my
companions bought a hacky sack for 4 quetzales there.. which is like... less
than 70 cents. It’s cool! I didn´t buy much, since I figure I’ll get to spend
plenty of time shopping. I did buy a backpack sort of thing, in the local kind
of style. They are sweet! They have sweet colors, with a messenger style strap that’s
not very comfortable, but they also have a hipstrap, like a hiking backpack. It’s
really nice for walking, because it doesn’t make your back all sweaty. I’ll
send a picture when I can of it, and all the other cool stuff
It feels
like I just wrote home the other day, because not many new things have happened
since last time I wrote home. Oh there was one cool thing, a little bird
flew inside one of the buildings we use here, and my Latino companion just went
up and grabbed it and released it back into world. It was pretty sweet. I´ve
been trading magic tricks with another Latino here too, I stumped him when I
turned 5 quetzales into over a thousand right in front of his eyes. It’s a
sweet trick!
Send me more letters! Please and
thank you!
Also, send me some pictures, just a few, like 2 or 3 adios!
