New Area

Ok, this past week or today rather I have had changes. This means I left Santa Rosa de Lima and am now here in a zone called Apopa. The area I am in is called Villa Mariona. It's in the more dangerous part of the woods next to the capital. My comp is quiet and we have yet said much to one another. It seems like the area should be pretty good and with lots of potential. I have a few difficult guys in my zone who just like to complain and it already feels a little depressing and like they are trying to bring others down so I think I will stay away from them or eventually help them out.

Well last night I was up until about 1 in the morning getting packed and ready for the next day and so right now I haven´t had a whole lot of sleep. I got up at 4 in the morning. Uggh! Yesterday was so busy I didn´t get a chance to celebrate the fourth of July. I don´t think missionaries even really get to do the holiday thing. (sniff sniff). I guess most of all right now weighing on my mind is my new area. I have basically got to start all over. I hope the last missonary here did a good job. I left 4 people in my old area to be baptized and that is a little frustrating.

I love you all and miss you lots. The mission is tough, but I continue on not because it's easy, but because it's tough. What greater is the reward for doing something difficult. Love you all.
