Pérola 19

Hello,
This week was pretty awesome.  At the beginning of the week two of the missionaries from far away had to come into the city to do some stuff at the police station with their passports and they stayed at our house so it was pretty fun.  We went to a nice restaurant with all you can eat meat and joked around a lot. 
Another highlight was that we had a service project on Saturday to help construct our Bishop's new house.  It was super fun.  We got to climb up to build the roof and pour cement on the roof, but had to make an assembly line of buckets to bring the cement from the ground up the ladders and to the roof to pour the cement, and we both got extremely sore.  The top was just a few parts that were actually stable, and wooden boards to walk on, and then Styrofoam that we poured the cement on top of.  So we had to be careful to not step on the Styrofoam or we would fall through and it was a bit sketchy, but super fun, and only one guy fell, but just his leg went through the ceiling.  Then when we got back I was sun burnt super bad because all of my skin has accustomized, but I forgot that's when I am wearing church clothes, so when I was there in shorts and t-shirt my neck and legs got super red.  It was pretty fun to feel like I had spent a long time at the beach again. 
Then when we were teaching this random guy he gave us these frog necklaces that he tried to give some guys from another church, but they wouldn't accept them because they are from the devil because it's like an old Indian luck charm.  So now we both have matching demon frogs.  So this week was eventful. 
We are planning on having Mara's baptism this week and then baptize her sister Marta next week.  It should be super fun!
Love,
