Hi Mom!


Things are going well here; the couple missionaries are here to look at apartments, so we´ve spent most of our P-day helping them. I think the other part will be spent at a funeral, because one of the members passed away from lung cancer last night. She wasn´t active, but it was tough because she had lots of troubles with chemo. Her daughter was starting to reactivate, and I hope this doesn´t derail her, but we´re just here to help them cope for now, I guess. It´s kind of a weird situation, to be honest.


It´s been raining a lot at night, but we don´t catch it a lot in the morning. It´s getting hotter and hotter every day; I´m sure you´d love it. In a white shirt and tie, it´s a little more difficult, but I´m managing. I found out that the transfer isn´t until after Christmas, so I´m not sure what I`ll do with the other package. I also found out that I have 45 minutes to talk to you guys, so that´ll be good. For now, not a lot to report, just that we´re working. How are things with you guys?


I love you a lot and can´t wait to talk on the phone! Have an awesome week and try not to flood the house with Christmas decorations, ok? Love you!!!!!

Hi Dad!


It´s pretty tough to stay cool here, so we just try to teach as much as we can, because then we´re not out in the heat! The people here will give you some water, even if you don´t go into their house, so we stay pretty well hydrated at least. If we ask, they always give it to us. I think they think we´re nuts for walking in the heat, because it gets tough to find people on the streets at times.


It sounds like the weather´s starting to get how it usually does, which is kind of nice for me, but I think I like the cold better. I can at least add clothes if I need to. It´ll probably get cold right around fourth of july!


I love you a ton!!!


Love, Eric
