Jan 23, 2017 - Hey, Things are going good in the Los Pinos ward.  The work is going slowish right now.  We got a ton of eternal investigators that we just can’t seem to baptize, so right now we are focusing a lot on finding new people.  We have found some awesome people, so were working with them and we could hopefully have a few baptisms in February; but we’ll see.  I’ve learned a lot about this area and it’s kinda nuts.  There’s a lot of bondistas (people who worship the devil) and bondista temples.  I never knew about that before and the scarey part is when we go contacting, cause it’s hard to tell who they are, but there’s a bunch.  Everybody here either knows one or is related to one hahah, oh well.

The ankle is getting much better, I sent a photo of how its doing.  It’s just pretty bruised and a little bit swollen but not much.  I wish I took a photo of it initially, it was soooo bad but its good now.  Today is the best.  We found a new Wendy’s restaurant in Ramos wooooo hoooo!! It tastes just like home, but the ice-cream is waaayyy better and super cheap.  The weather is awful, it’s just soooo hot.  The other day it was 35 degrees at 9 o’clock at night.  In a week or so were moving apartments to this brand new one that a member just built and it has AC!!!!!  It’s cheap to, it’s like 4000 pesos a month.  This member who built the complex, it cost him about 45,000 dollars to build 3 apartments and 1 penthouse!! Seriously, living here is super cheap I’m kinda starting to think about staying here for school cause that’s also free idk.  Anyways how is home and the ward? It’s hard to believe that they created our ward like almost a year ago.

luv ya’ll - Elder Maller
