First Take of the New Area

Ok I have a little bit more time today. Lets see what I can get done. 

(Note that the photos are from his last area.)

Progreso Jutiapa

I'll start with the area. It's VERY different from whatever area I've ever had. Let me explain. We entered a house and Immediately I knew something was different. First of all no unfriendly odors were present. What I noticed next was that the couches, rug, and curtains all matched. But that's not all it gets better. I was warmly greeted by the maid of the house and we were told to sit down to await the family. I must tell you I was scared to touch anything. The next thing I realized was the HUGE stereo system that they had right in front but they weren't using it as most people use them here rather it was softly playing a nice classical piece of music. It was quite pleasant actually. It was then that the head of the house came down. He was an older man with slightly graying hair who greeted us and sat down crossing one leg. He then began to chat about the breed of his dog and the piece of music that was playing. He graciously entreated us to a tour of his house where he showed me his large indoor garden made of walls of all glass and filled with plants. This garden was specifically made for his 20 year talking parrot. After a talk with the family they served us a nice American styled dinner. Now I want you guys to remember that things like this haven't happened to me for like two years. Man this area is cool.

So let's see. This is actually the hardest area I've had. There is a rich part and a poor part. We spend most of our time in the poor part but tonight we are going to have another appointment with the rich family. The man is an inactive member but his wife and son are completely active. His son is a recently returned missionary. Other than that we only have maybe 3 investigadors. We work all day long but absolutely no one receives us in their house. We are really deep in the city so everyone is always working. Actually I'm not sure if I've told you guys but know I'm the District Leader of the secretaries. So yeah President lives real close here and the mission offices are like 10 minutes away. But hey we're working here and everything thing but I feel bad for my comp. It's a very hard area to start in. We eat with a lady who cooks really well so that's always fun and our house is actually really nice. When we got to the area the house was absolutely disgusting though. The last P-day we just cleaned like crazy though so know it's actually really clean. The nurse actually came to look at the house and she deemed it Super Clean. HA.

So anyways it is really good to hear that you are all good. I was just about to give you ideas about your talk Mom but my time is up so sorry. Have an awesome week and have fun moving!!

Love you guys.
