Day 13

I didn't take any pictures today but I really felt I needed to include one. Let's be honest, the content isn't all that great so this blog needs some visual aids. This is a picture I took on our bus ride to Chinandega. I stuck one arm out of the bus and took the picture while we were driving. First take and I must say that I impressed myself. There are a couple of volcanoes near here and as you can see at least one of them has smoke coming out of it. I don't know if they erupt occasionally or what, but it is kind of cool to see a volcano smoking.

We totally got lost on our way to church this morning. Not really our fault because the person who gave us directions gave us really bad directions. We asked around and found it without too much trouble though. We ended up doing quite a bit of walking but the heat index was only 107 so it wasn't to bad. I gave my tie to a kid who is waiting for his mission call to come and that was kind of fun. Other than that we relaxed this afternoon and went to a ward council meeting this evening. Normally I would have wanted nothing to do with it, but we actually weren't all that opposed to it because it gave us something to do. I really do admire the faith of these people. They work hard and truly believe in the gospel. They are so friendly and willing to let you into their lives. We have a lot to learn from their ability to fellowship.
