Hiked to a Waterfall...beautiful but dangerous!

October 26, 2015

DEAR ALL
I am doing very well!
Last week went pretty well! I'm sorry I'm not very good at this whole writing letters thing.  I think I am finally acclimating to the humidity and the heat! Other good news is that i still have not put on any sunscreen and have not been burned! I have pretty darn good looking watch tan line!  It is very difficult finding different things to eat here.  Almost every single meal consists of bread and egg. Occasionally rice.  I am pretty excited to see the Christmas card for this year!  I would like to see pictures of you guys in your Halloween costumes!  Anna Hansen winning the chili cook off..... not very surprised!  Steven Hansen, learn how to cook lots of things from your mom, and do not be like me. An uncreative cooker!  Fortunately I will get a copy of the Ensign with all of the General Conference talks in it!

Things with my companion are OK. It is kind of a bummer he loves to argue about anything and everything and is very stubborn. Other than that he is a pretty good guy.  The other Elders in my apartment are Elder Lindley and Elder Ashby.  They are both from Utah. I also found out that they are both going to Weber State after their mission. Elder Ashby is 13 months out. Elder Lindley is 2.5 months out. I get along really really well with Elders Ashby and Lindley!  Recently I had coconut water straight out of the coconut! So good!  Recently as we walk by a fruit stand, to buy a pineapple slice, or apple, or banana!  Fruit here is very delicious as long as you buy it from a good vender.  

This morning we had a zone activity and we went and climbed a waterfall! It was pretty dangerous but it was very beautiful!  At one point I slipped and was sliding down the waterfall. I would fallen down the rest of it had Elder Nagata from Fiji not been there to catch me.  Very fun trip!  And after having my life saved we had a whole bunch of chicken back at the apartment!

In the next package...Candy would also be awesome!  Beef Jerky would be a dream come true!
