well we had one more baptism this week. her name is Jeany Bernales Glaraga.
it's interesting to note that pictures from back home have people wearing sweaters. when i got here in march, it was hot. and it's been hot since then. today it's still hot. well it sucks to be on the equator at sea level. because there are only two seasons; hot season and hot and rainy season.
this week, i've kinda experienced culture shock. mainly with things that annoy me, like how almost every meeting starts late and how everyone is so easily offended and about how everyone gossips and how little kids always touch my white shirt with their hands after playing in the mud or how they're always asking for money or how they're yelling obscenities all these things compile on themselves and make for a really stressful time. the main way to deal with it is just laugh it off.
even though there are a few things that i get upset with here, there are a lot of things that make the work worth it and easier to deal with, especially having a good strong ward missionary group. i have a lot of respect for the ward missionaries because they put in so much work all the time that it makes me ashamed that i only worked with missionaries for a few hours every week. i especially have respect for Brother Padul (our ward mission leader) who is the most dedicated of them all, not only him but Brother Ponteras has my respect for all of his support. As does Sister Christine whom has probably been the single biggest help for missionaries in fifth ward, Enrique (who is now a missionary) helped to go on splits all the time, and the whole Suarez family whom has been great to us as well.
pretty soon, i'll probably be transferring from fifth ward, so i just wanna remember the people who made my stay here great.
