Derek Update

I wish it would rain here. Its been crazy hot every day. This guy got electricuted on our street and died. He was up in a tree cutting branches and he touched the telephone wires. We walked by like 20 minutes later and they were lowering his body from the tree. It was jacked, He was all messed up and toasted. I think i was on the news though. They dont celebrate halloween or anything here. So have a fun one. Wow this week was crazy. Tuesday was just a normal day. We had our District meeting in the morning then went and worked. Wednesday we had entravistas with President Monestel he didnt say much to me. Only basic stuff like, How was your family?, and junk like that. We went with some of the APs around are area and that was about it. Thursday my companion had to go to Managua for training because he is the district leader. So I stayed here with one of our zone leaders. He is from Wyoming so we got to speak some english to eachother. First we went to Santo Tomas which about an hour away from here. He interviewed some people for baptism then we left. After we went to his area and taught a lady that weighs like 500 pds, and is bedridin. I guess she wants to be baptized but cant because of her weight. That was Thursday and Friday. On saturday we went and mowed her lawn with machetes. Thats how they do it here. It was pretty fun. I was sweating like crazy though, it looked like I had just went swimming. Sunday was just a normal sunday. They are sending two more missionaries to our city. Hopefully that helps out the work because right now we are the worst area. It sucks because we work hard, just havent had any success. My companion is probably leaving this next transfer so he is way excited and he doesnt really care about the work here. Over all things are going good.
