July 22, 2008


Hello,

Week two in Catán has come and gone and being an elder has never been so exhausting. We are working very hard in the area and we are working very hard with the zone too.

It's kind of like a roller coaster with the zone. When they do well we´re all excited and when they struggle me and elder pollock are sad too. But all and all we are doing very well as a zone. We are planning on three baptisms for next month and are working very hard to help the three people progress.

We´ve been enjoying working together again very much. We are entering the raining season again and yesterday it poured. My area is all mud, I mean everywhere! When we left the house, for about five or six steps we tried to keep our shoes clean and then we just kind of gave up and slopped our way along for the rest of the day. The mud literally reaches the knees of our pants. It makes me remember of how nice the stuff I bought before the mission was before I got here... then I laugh a bit.

Saturday we were doing service at an investigators house and we were cutting down what looked to be a giant weed or bamboo or something. Turns out it was sugar cane. Carlos chopped off a piece and handed it to me and said chew! So I chewed, and it's incredible! He said that's how his mom (from paraguay) always eats it! Now I love eating raw sugar cane! So if you can plant some for me before I get back I´d love it.

The work progresses, thanks for your prayers and your love, and yes Oma, I do appreciate the clippings you send me very much!!

Love you all, till next week!

Elder Kelly
