Birds flying high, you know how I feel.

This week was a good week. I guess every week is a good week even if it was a bad week. It's a good week if you are in the service of God. 

My companion Elder Flores had to go to San Salvador this week. So Ï went, again. That makes it four times in the last couple of months. Elder Flores is really cool. We get along really well, maybe too well. We sometimes get distracted during planning or study but we are trying to do better. On Friday we had a special zone meeting. We went up to Juayùa and had a zone meeting with them. President Spjut did interviews during the meeting. After the meeting President went and visited with us. I went with Elder Chigua, who is a district leader in my zone from Guatemala. We also went with President Sànchez of the Texical Branch. We went out to Carrizal in Presidents nice 2013 Toyota SUV. It was geting dark when we were teaching. Turns out that the whole canton didn't have electrity. So we were teaching in the dark. I went to read a scripture and President had to pull out his iPhone so that I could read. After we taught we left. I was a little bit nervous to be out in that canton, at that time of night with no lights, in that nice of a car but we were fine. I guess it is better to be in a nice car then walking at that time of night, which I have done. I sometimes wonder why I was ever even a little tiny bit nervous to walk outside at night at home. It was cool to be able to teach with President. Obviously he is way better than us. 

On Saturday we went to an investigators house and the kid, whose name is Eric, was out flying a homemade kite made from a newspaper and some little sticks with some sewing thread. We started to try to fly the kite with him. Elder Flores got pretty excited when he started flying it. He ran along ways and got the kite up in the sky. He also got it stuck in a tree. The string was stuck in the tree but the kite was way up high and way far away. We tried to recover the kite but we couldn't so we just left it there flying in the sky with the string attached to the tree. The kid wasn't mad that we lost his kite. I think he thought it was pretty cool that his kite was flying so high. We felt like litle kids again flying the kite. 

Thanks for everything everybody.

If you look real carefully up at the top left you can see the kite.
