Cool, Clear Water

This week was a good week. Except for the fact that the water in Ciudad Paraíso, where I live, went out. We haven't had water for this whole week. We've been using purified drinking water and water from a big truck that passed by. I've been showering outside with buckets. This week Elder Paravato had to have surgery on his toe to remove an ingrown toe nail. So he's been in the house all week. Luckily Elder Wiser, who used to be in the office, got sick as well and he's staying in our house so Elder Paravato stays with him and I with Elder Pérez the old companion of Elder Brizzee who went home. 

On Saturday and on Sunday I was on interchanges with my Zone Leader Elder Muti. He's from South Salt Lake. He's finishing his mission on Wednesday. It was cool learning from him. He is originally from Tonga so his aunt sent him some of those Lava Lavas. I was able to fulfill a long time dream I've had which is to wear a lava lava on my mission. We were going to wear it to church and we had them and we were about to leave but then we felt like we should't. It was probably a good idea not too. 

Also this week we have received a ton of boxes of Book of Mormons. I've moved so many boxes. We got another 72 this morning that we had to move. We don't really know how it's all going to fit in storage. 

Spiritual thought: Everybody read Alma 7. It is really good. It talks about the Atonement and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those are the things most basic that we should understand as members because those are the most important. The most important thing is not where Kolob is or other things like that. Once we know those things and have a testimony of those things we can and definitely should start branching out and learning more. 

Thanks for everything.
