Mom,

     Do you want to know what we did for P-day??????????? WE WALKED AND HIKED FOR EIGHT HOURS. Fun right? I thought for sure I would die on the path and just told them to bury me. I'm actually in a lot better shape now with having to walk everywhere every day. I at least did it! Yeah we were looking for a cave that was SUPPOSED to be amazing. I was convinced that it was imaginary. We got lost and in all spent 8 hrs on that freaking mountain. I'm so tired and we haven't even gone teaching yet. Hey, this might have to be short because something happened with Hna Calderon.  I need to go.  Love you! Ask Daniel for his email to get a little of my week.  I'll try to email Dad real fast. Te quiero mucho!

Love Leah

Hey Dad,

      This has to be fast because something is going on with my companion. We're teaching some good families this week that we have a lot of hope for. For the first time I talked more in a lesson than Hna Calderon! Whoo hoo! Also, I attempted to cook for myself and only made ramen and then found worms in it after I was almost completely done with it.  NOT OKAY! ALSO IT WAS WAY MORE SAD because I had to learn how to light a match and then the stove, without burning myself.  That's what I get for trying to cook. Love you.

Daniel,

     I FOUND AND ATE WORMS IN MY FOOD THIS WEEK! NOT OKAY! Hna. Calderon made me down a coke afterwards because supposedly that kills everything.   Sooooo...…I might have a parasite or maybe they were just worms, not a clue…I think I'll name him Stewart if He's going to live in my body. So anyways... yeah that was way gross. Love you! Oh and the weather here is only a nice temperature when its raining. So it's either you can be wet from sweat or rain.  There is so no in between!   Love you!

     Daniel had more emails from the past few weeks with some good stuff in them that he forwarded along to us.  Hopefully Leah will get the hang of a group email:-)

Daniel,

     I saw the coolest thing this week! We had this guy we were teaching and the first lesson was a disaster becasue the old man couldn't get past prophets and the whole time the thought just kept coming to me that maybe if we taught the P.O.S. it would be a better way in. So we went back for another lesson and Heavenly Father really softened his heart! He said straight up that he decided that he´d bothered us too much the last time and that he´d listen better this time. So we actually could see him struggle internally!  We could see he felt the spirit and how it made him uncomfortable and he just didn´t want to acknowledge it! BUT HE FELT IT! We saw it! Super cool! Anyways love you!

    Everyone believes in Jesus and everyone will let you in.  We really are only allowed to eat with members on Sundays because we can get sick, but if they offer for other times we still go and get fed. People are in the streets constantly and it's LOUD ALWAYS.  Between the car horns and the music its always loud, even until the middle of the night! I'm fantastic at bucket showers now!

      Honestly the bucket showers are pretty funny! I'm pretty dang good at them! This week we had almost no water, so I've been trying to do laundry for a week to no avail....thats annoying but it's fine.   At least we dont have any major bugs in our apartment! I only found a cockroach in my shower the size of a toy car once! IT WAS GROSS! Anyways... as far as weird food goes- we went to this place to eat after district meeting and a Dominican elder told me that another thing an elder had been eating was ……..wait…….., wait for it……….. CAT……..no joke! And then he asked if I wanted to try it and I said no. Yes, I know it's good to try things, but I draw the line at freaking cat! Anyways love you!
